First off I dont plan on doing any of this this season , I am just thinking about it for now.
#1 how much is a turbo kit and what is the recommended stuff I need to do to a stock bike. Pipes, PC3 etc...from what I gather , to do it right id be looking @ $5000K +..this is damn near enough money for another bike altogether.
#2 How do an 05' GSXR1000 and a Kawasaki 10R differ from a stock Busa in terms of the launch and overall acceleration? From what I gather it seems like these bikes are getting in the low 9s stock which would be at least .5 seconds faster than the Busa....plus this is not factoring in how the lighter bikes feel launching which is just as important as the actual speeds.
Sure the Busa has more torque but it has 120+ pounds more to overcome...Id love to know how that translates to real world.
I guess my train of though is coming from it like this...I chose the Busa because I wanted a fast bike that did very well on the freeway. I got that, I have very happy and am not second guessing myself at all.....but I also sort of wished it was a little more wild.
I know for a fact that I am speaking a little too early because I have only launched the bike a few times to 10K in second gear ...actually ive never given it the full out run to redline in the first three gears. I was sort of saving that until after I get closer to 1000 miles on it...ive got 400 on it now and iwll have at least 500 on it by todays end.
Again though I am only considering this stuff now , I dont plan on doing it this season.
I am still very much savoring the break-in of my Busa and am concentrating on making that a priority.
Anyways from what I gather the 10R and R1000 are the fastest launching bikes on the market today , they feel fast and are a challenge to drive.
Rather then dropping $4000 on my Busa I am thinking perhaps I should just leave it alone and add a used 10R or something to the stable.
But if the 1000R or 10R did not feel considerably faster than the Busa then I guess it might not be the right thing to do.
Perhaps what will satisfy me the most is just adding a turbo to my Busa and calling it a day.
