I'm with you on that one gsteve.Well said Rev.... Maybe suk will take a new grip in the next year or so and get tat choke hold a lil tighter. Theres no reason why we cant have a 460lb 175rwhp dream machine.

yea thats right whatch out for that vespa with the nos,BusaBrother is right, you should have no problem anywhere as long as you keep the rear tire from vaporizing and the front end down.
Follow any of DR1300R's past posts and you'll see he thinks anything from a Vespa on up should be able to smoke a Busa.
Funny how I've yet to see any magazine headlines stating how the Busa has been dethrowned by some wimp liter bike.
Oh I know...all the owners of liter bikes just don't know how to ride them yet!
Well said Rev...I do know that you do not want to get caught unprepared and that you do need to take the liter bikes seriously.
I got caught out while cruising around with some bros one day. One Gix1K, one RC51, I simply didn't take em seriously, I got left by about 2 bike lengths and didn't real em in till just north of 130 or so. Next time though, Dropped it down a couple and I was off into the sunset like a rocket.
Just don't try to roll against anything at less than 5500-6K RPM. From there, your a frieght train.
BUT, to walk around running your fuggin mouths like Busa's are SOOO much faster than the compeition is just plain ignorant. At best the busa leads in rolls ons or 1/4 mile times by just a couple of tenths. Ultimate top speeds are irrelevant on the streets accept for once in a great while... (ask Raider, RC51 Guy, or Gypsy)So the competition has gotten much stiffer and if you do not have your game on your going to get worked. That's the truth of it, the Busa is still king, but if your not all that comfortable on the Busa, you will prolly get embarrassed...
The Busa no longer holds a choke hold on the streets, it's still the fastest and quickest but only by tenths. Don't bullshi!t yourselves into thinking otherwise, or you can just keep rollin in 600's and maybe feeling special about yourselves. But your just blowing smoke...
I agree with that. I went out this past friday with two other busas, zx-10, zx-9 bored to 1000 and 2 zx 6's and a zx 636. The zx 636 was stretched 7 inches and lowered. So we went on an easy ride on 64 west out of richmond. It was late so we only did short speed runs. One run i got up to 175 mph (speddohealer verified) and backed off. well i was in front, so the pepople behind me were catching up we stopped at a gas station. The guy on the 636 says.... get this....he says i dont knopw why you guys spend all that money on those busas, because my bie kept right up with you guys. The other busas were in the back of the pack so they couldn't get up to 175 becuase they didn't know when I was goin to let off. SO i calmly walked over to the guy in the 636 and said...... When we get back on the highway I will take my bike out of park!!! He looked at me and said, man i have NEVER got left by a busa, but if I do I know how to get back home. DISCLAIMER: I NEVER talk poop because the right rider on any bike can smoke anyone, BUT when you have a guy on a STOCK 636 say he can stay with busas and on good days BEAT them. I had to shut him down.If you ain't gonna use the Busa correctly, then DON'T race! Don't be letting our "King Of Speed" reputation DOWN with amateur roll ons. Letting other riders brag about beating a Busa. Thats friggin' LAME.
