Where did it do better than the Busa?
All I do is just roll on the throttle out of a turn to see a dark stripe follow me through the straight as my tach needle is bouncin' off the rev box........
Ummm no.
Not going to dethrone us. If it puts 153-155 hp down on a dyno, it will be doing good. Even if it does, it will come up short in the torque category, no where near 98-100 lbs stock like we have. Bring em' on, I'm not skeered... so long as we are going straight!

The bottom line is all these liter bikes are struglin' to make one fifty at the wheel, the Busa does more stock and with some work or even a turbo runs 220-475hp. Busa owners: don't run out and buy an R1 yet (although they look HOT as HELL!) The only bike that will beat a current Busa is a newer Busa if they ever come out with a new one.
ok, here is my story:
I rode my boys 2003 R1 and on his bike is the fastest i've basically gone on a bike. I was on the 170 freeway in Los Angeles and hit almost about 140mph, the bike started shaking like it had too much coffee. it was unreal to the point where I slowed down immediately and got off the freeway.... I asked my boy if something was wrong with his bike and he was like, naw it don't have a dampener on it?
Now I was on my boys 2002 GSXR 1000 and at 135, It felt as smooth as 80mph all day.....
i know it was a 03 R1 but, I doubt if a 04 is gonna pass me up on the streets.

Busa-ss, is that a modified dump pipe or an open exhaust header.........?
Ummm no.

:o WOW.....very interesting, If this is true the mis-information guru's should the shot.
I don't care what they dyno at!
I had a 00 R1 and that thing was a wheelie machine. Role-ons will be quick but from a dead stop until TOP SPEED, the BUSA will always be KING!
The only way the BUSA will be beat is with better AERODYNAMICS and MORE POWER! The only time it would need less weight is if they make it into a road race bike. For every day riding, draging and just plain fun the weight helps keep the BUSA stable at those high speeds!
R1 = Wheelie Machine regardless of Horse Power!

Although 10mph faster in first, but no where near as much torque as the Busa. How ever you look at it to have anything over 100ft lbs, and 170+ hp you need a larger/longer frame for stability. I'd have to say the liter bikes are pretty much at their limit of engineering when it comes to stuffing high hp into a small frame. Also, if anyone has ridden a liter bike will agree that the power does drop flat at some point (lack of torque) where the Busa seems like it pulls every gear like its first.This was a road test not a comparison, can it do anything better than a busa? The comparisons will come.....you got to admit if the bhp @13750 red line this bike will be in the ball court......if I remember correctly my busa red lines in 1st gear @ 90mph, R1 100, I thought this was impressive
Busa SS Where do you hear of such things... please enlighten one. BTW What's SS about perhaps a Chevelle??...now suzuki is to drop the GSXR line, and is developing a whole new line of hot rods for 05, busa included......I have a snicky filling that they will be even more awesome......
