How about 17500 rpm redline

[PACIFICBUSA]

140 at the crank with ram air factored in?

[hayabusa_83]

suzukis gonna hafta to start upgrading the bus next... we r gonna have 600's running us.

You guys havn't even mentioned the "fly by wire" throtle. Now THAT is trick.

I wonder how it feels to actuate a servo instead of moving a cable? Trick tech, fer sure!

[Busa_05]

Pretty much the whole line of '06's look pretty frickin' spectacular, I think.

Yeah Ive been listenin to em since 94. Like most bands...."the older stuff is better". They have influenced MANY bands.

I forsee many problems with that system. Tsk tsk. And they need to detune that damn R6 engine. Give it some smoother power delivery and performance in the low-mid rev range.

Exactly what is fly by wire??? I heard of this tech lately and in cars too

[xzvs]

no cables at all -- sensor on the throttle read by the ecu actuates a servo on the fuel injection. Works pretty well so far on cars as they can build in traction control (and wheelie control) into it. So, you can just hammer it and the computer does the rest . Works on the same basic principal of and usually same control unit as ABS

Fly-by-wire is cool until it stops working. Poor timing and you're screwed!

[frisbee]

Sounds cool!

[theemrrdkill]

<-- what BigBs ....said ..just what yah need ... another elec..thing to go out..when your in a corner .... leanin n tight .. < Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh > !!!

[High Ranger]

I'll keep my cable thank you....

Nothing wrong with fly by wire throttle, fords powerstroke dielsel has been using this since 1994 , and all of the diesels nowadays are throttle by wire as are some of the bmws. 17,500rpm is incredible.

Yeah I think they use redundant systems to aviod total failure. Most jets are fly by wire now too I think. Much rather it failing on a bike than a plane
