Hayabusa article

[kod3001]

All rumour thus far...

I've heard that Performance Bikes Magazine (UK) have done an article on a Hayabusa.

Apparently (again rumour), they've put a turbo on it, and want to take it up to 250mph. Gonna try and pick up a copy tomorrow and see what they're on about.

250mph, on anything but an aeroplane seems a tad on the fast side to me, we shall see.

It can be done. However, I don't think a few editors from a bike mag can do for the sake of a article. Yancy's bike went 260 at maxton last month.

a few guys have been past 250...actuaully someone here just pulled a 261 avg at the salt flats and Lee from Lee's Performance nailed 253 I think it was in North Carolina.

Talk to RoboPTI. He's pretty darn close to getting SKII to 250-260.

Got hold of a copy of Performance Bikes, well just browsed through it. Not a great deal in there, they're just announcing their plans.

Basically... they're gonna add a monster turbo to a pretty much stock Busa. Hoping to produce 700bhp, jeez. That said, they have no plans to extend the swingarm, or put a bigger wheel/tyre on the back so I'm thinking they may struggle to deliver that sort of power.

More next month (with pics)
