"Also, that engine is maxed out, you can't get much more without major engine mods."
Actually, I have been told that the motor is capable of a good deal more peak hp and even higher rpm. I agree with Dozerdriver about stertching the bmer into a drag bike. It's not natural. It's a hot track bike right now and modding it to do track duty makes a lot more sense than trying to make it a drag or LSR bike. Why not wait a couple years and buy a used one??? You know damned well a lot of the owners will be old farts looking for one last hurrah and finding they don'y have near the balls to ever come close to abusing that bike.

whats up matt ? power isnt the problem with my bike its how short it is and using it ...im just looking for something thats gonna be the next great thing you should come out to high five cycles tomorrow night around 8 we went out to the fair grounds last week and did a bunch of racing no problems
yes the BMW is certaintly a monster and definately fast at the track, but do you really want to go with the new upcoming fad, you can be just as fast on the busa, which is by the way beautiful, good job on it, off-course im gonna say keep the Busa bro....

Well said, but I would get the BMW for the twisties, only now I find out that the beemer would need stiffer springs for my 210lbs. WTF!

i dont know your experience drag racing 1000cc bikes but i have done a lot of it and am now a member on here because i am switching sides to busas
1000cc bikes be it turbo bikes or na bikes are a pain to drag but much lighter its a hit and miss type of thing if you are over 160lbs stay off of 1000cc bikes for drag racing they do not have the tq to get good 60ft and 330 ft times like the larger bikes do
i land speed race and drag race as well and im switching cause i weigh 190 lb and cant get my 60ft under what i want it too if i weighed 130lb i would have just sold my 1k and bought a 09 busa cause now im deep in a turbo build and my wife wants a new car and a trip to disney for the kids blah blah who cares but i couldnt get it done on a 1k but if your not happy with your bike it will drive you crazy trust me i know
now not saying there arnt extreme examples like some gsxr1000 bikes or some zx10 bikes ( ricky bobby) running 5.30s in the 1/8th all motor but these are grudge bikes not somthing you would run on the street and there riders dont
heres ricky bobby

keep the busa, its nicer, easy to work on, lots of aftermarket parts. look at brocks busa, ran 8.57 stock motor.100 pounds heavier.
Come on now, what busa are you talking about? Its BUSA or BMW thead. All I see is a breathtaking woman.
THIS. End thread
I love the look of the BMW
but I agree with Commuta. There's loads of advice for touring (and not tuning) on the BMW bike forum, that says it all to me! Good luck with your choice, your bike looks good and like you have a lot of time and money invested.
I'd say keep the busa, get the BMW too.

Wow...I didn't think it was possible to take my favorite bike out there right now (the Beemer) and make it look that friggin' fugly :sadlike:
I can't imagine taking such a well balanced track machine and stretching it out like that. But then again...to each there own.
That being said, I will say I LOVE that blue tinted Brocks CT can!
