Another great test of the 2008 Hayabusa....
January issue of "BIKE" http://www.bikemagazine.co.uk/
It's only a two page blurb on the new BUSA but I'll post some of the quotes as well as test information that the mag has reported.
"-we didn't even bother folding the mirrors in - it demolished EVERY acceleration record we've seen since BIKE started datalogging speed runs."
"The Hayabusa is the first production bike to achieve a nine-second quarter-mile from a standing start."
"Its electronically-restricted top speed of 183.96mph is reached in just 18 seconds, less than a mile from standing."
HOW FAST?
0-60MPH: 2.74s
0-100MPH: 4.92s
0-150MPH: 10.24s
0-180MPH: 18.84s
STANDING QUARTER: 9.985s @ 147.82mph
They also have a nice little dyno comparo showing the latest and greatest bikes.
"We've never seen an untuned machine make 170bhp on this equipment before-let alone 180."
2005 Honda Blackbird 136bhp @ 9,800rpm
2005 Hayabusa 155.9bhp @ 9,400rpm
2007 Kawasaki ZZR1400 168.4bhp @ 9,600rpm
2008 Hayabusa 179.5bhp @ 11,000rpm
I just though it was a nice little write up on the new BUSA if anyone was looking to pick it up...
