Thanks Ogun and oh she goes really fast , take a look at my build thread in the supercharger forum where you can see her on the dyno making 325 bhp. Pro's....she's very very fast but docile and tractable around town but twist that QA throttle and all hell breaks loose and the rest of the world goes into reverse Cons.....tire wear and fuel consumption but I knew that when she was just a gleam in her fathers eyes and at some point I will probably lose my license if not goto jail but hey ho life is for living not pussyfooting around right lol. I wish I'd had it done years ago . Cost...around £8000 pounds for the supercharger, build and dyno time but worth every penny.Nice pictures bigdev I am relatively new here and did not know your busa is supercharged it really looks neat pros and cons cost goes fast ?

Hey Bigdev , your bike is one of two personal favorites of mine , for a massive HP Hotrod streetbike Busa , the other being Ghost Riders Turbo Busa . Why I like your bike so much is firstly , the from zero revs , the massive available HP and Torque , secondly , the Blowers compact size and impressive conforming
to the standard bodywork contours . Thirdly , the fully set up suspension , wheels and other handling mods , and lastly , and impressively , the standard factory wheelbase . Your bike is sleeper stealth at casual glance , which to me , is smart , when you are obviously a rider who enjoys an occasional public road blast ! The Busa you have built , is a Busa on steroids , that handles and goes much harder than stock , but is still very livable . Credos to you sir .
Back in the early nighties , my favorite mag was Performance Bikes , a UK publication which featured hilarious moto journalism and on many occasion , tuff built project streetbikes . Steve Burns legendary Monster 1428 cc turbo build is one I recall , a street ridden Suzuki that was often seen wheelstanding beyond 160mph at public streetbike gatherings , albeit from a distance !!
My point being , that spirit is thankfully alive and well in your build / story , and I love a bike that raises a middle finger to the Man .
Haha really Viper, are you psychic ? but no point in her just being sat there twiddling her wheels for 3 months or so is there?good god i saw this coming!
the way i saw this coming was you posted a ton about it and it gradually became old hat for you in posting. There is never enough power .... you have found this out.
I guess so Roadtoad although I'm not a fan of wheelies coz to keep the front wheel up you have to feather the throttle and......I'm not a big fan of feathering the throttle, it's either on...........or off hahaExcellent news Bigdev , I'm guessing 300kph plus power wheelies are soon to become the norm !!!
Captain and I will pass on your comments to the photographer, I'm sure he will appreciate itNot sure how I missed this thread but now that I'm here, WoW that is a beautiful bike, there is a lot of love and attention to detail there. Your photog is pretty talented as well!
Congrats
Not sure Resident Evil coz I never saw the bike, looks like a bolt on the front mudguard tho but again I'm not sure.Is that a bolt on the outside of the fairing, on the red and white bike ?
Spin the hell out of it hahaAre you going to have to spin the hell out of the blower to make more power
Or bigger blower
