All that I have read in the top speed forum is indicating that we haven't found a way around the top speed limiter on an 02-03. Can someone advise? There has to be a way...

All I have seen seems to be about 250 on the busa. Has anyone ever designed a 300+ Busa and if so, what did it take to get it to those speeds... Having an argument over with my relatives over moto land speed records, aerodynamics, etc... Thanks for the post ahead of time.

Has anyone ever made a 300MPH+ Busa? I see many of our bikes with 500HP, but they seem to peg at around 250MPH. Anyone seen a busa do better?

very interesting...thanks all.

I am kind of surprised that these 500HP Busa's can't top 246 or so...

Anyone know what the fastest Busa ever on the top speed side was? Has anyone created a 250-300MPH bike on this forum and if so how much gearing, HP, etc did it take? Maurice

What is the highest top speeders out there...? I am wondering who has the record here.

All, Newbie question here... I read the manual to adjust my throttle and it states to tighten the ROLLOFF cable all the way down and after adjusting the ROLLON cable, loosen the ROLLOFF cable until you feel resistance(Throttle held closed)... When I losen the ROLLOFF cable to engage the...

Are you sure Jonny? When I purchased my bike, it came with a Regina chain and it doesn't appear to have the O-Rings on it...(I mean doesn't appear because I am not that technically inclined with motorcycles yet.) I know its Regina because the previous owner had told me and I know its not stock...

Can anyone tell me the benefits to going to a Regina chain over stock and what the differences are between the o-Ring model and the NON O-Ring model? Can't seem to be able to get into their website to find out...

here's my two cents... I had the opportunity to buy the 12 or the Busa. Coming from the Kawi camp with a tricked out ZX7R, I really wanted to buy the 12R and keep my loyalty... Due to all the reports on the 12 not making the grade in some categories, plus its lack of total refinement, I...

Thanks all... got it straight now. Maurice

you guys sure about the weight. I just looked it up again on the Kawi site... I copied and pasted... Dry weight: 463 lbs. The busa is 80lbs more according to spec. I understand the aerodynamics plays a part... but could it make that much of a difference to where the busa is beating it...

All, The 12R is 460lbs. dry weight and the Busa is 540lbs. Dry weight. Both bikes are rated to have 175 HP. Why is the Busa still coming up faster in 1/4 miles and top speed. We have seen recently in the mags that the Busa is still king and if I were buying a bike on shear specifications, I...

It is definetely apparent that you don't want to drink and ride a bike... bad combo and ask'n for trouble... This kind of brings to a question though... I live in Devner, CO and one of my co-workers was telling me that here in CO they can't chase you due to some laws in effect... (Don't want...
