    Busa shifting question

    Simple answer to that one. You don't shift. The hayabusa on standard gearing will run way past 60mph in 1st gear. I think its geared for 86 mph in first although I could be wrong (and I frequently am)...

    Acceleration

    Oh of course, it was Suzuki themselves that got those times from a motorcycle they had built. That's why I have never heard of such times since, professional racer or not. Were these the same chaps that got oiver 200 mph out of a bone stock rhino?

    Acceleration

    Who on earth got 9.3 out of a bone stock rhino? That is incredible! I have never heard of such 1/4 times. I suggest that many Rhino owners would not get anywhere near a 10 second pass from their machines because they are rather bizarre creatures to launch due to the back torque limiter on the...

    Top speed

    As regards top speed it simply isn't worth looking at your speedo to ascertain your top end. At flat out pace its likely that your shown speed will inacurate by as much as 10-15%. The only way to find out true top speed is to use proper timing gear or a GPS system that can be verified accurate...

    Qtr mile times for stock busaa 2001/2002?

    I have ran a 9.93 1/4 @143mph. Stock wheelbase with brand new chain so everything pulled in short. Tyre pressures as per handbook and not a lowering link in site. The bike was fitted with a double bubble, a K&N filter and an Akro 4-1. It has never been set up to run with filter or Akro and it...

    Drag racing

    We are lucky Narc, in the fact that we have access to high speed straight line runways in the UK which run for 2 miles. On some tracks we get to keep our bikes nailed after we pass the 1/4 mile marker, which is nice as it gives a new slant to the competative side. We get to go for 1/4 AND top...

    Drag racing

    OK then here goes. I move into pre -stage and burn out for about 6 seconds. I then clean off the tyre by letting out the front brake and rolling out about 10 feet. This gets the tyre marbles off otherwise you have wasted your time cos you will spin off the line anyway with a dirty tyre. Then...

    Why the busa?

    I wasn't even intending to get one but the water system on my Exup Thou started pressurising so it had to go. Now the Rhino in many ways is physically like the T-rexup in size and feel and it was the obvious progression. It has the same road presence as the big 'ole T-rexup, something the weedy...

    Drag racing

    Bloody #### I thought more American Bros would have responded to this! I thought every town in the states had a drag strip as well as a school! C'mon Andy, give him yer times mate!

    Attention all Hayabusa owners.

    I am afraid I would not waste a 'stalker' on you and my partner prefers the more 'girthed' man. The best new colour scheme has to be that silver grey paintjob, absolutely gorgeous!

    Original Hayabusa Board

    So Captain, does that mean if you have access to the original .org, that you must be BigDog? I was a member of the .org before La Busas. It was a very good site.
