...Yes and yesIs that your living room or Garage?
Where did it do better than the Busa?
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!
:o WOW.....very interesting, If this is true the mis-information guru's should the shot.Here is a link from one of our board members posting over on SH.org, saying it only made 140 on local dyno. funny stuff huh?
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.
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.Where did it do better than the Busa?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......
