for the record,
if 9.86 corresponds to 146, then a time of 8.96 would have to bring the terminal speed to at least 156 or more
it's just simple math
so...
those numbers just don't jive as written
think about it
it will all make sense then
but...
on the other hand
we know kawa's history
there ain't no way in hell that they'll bring a bike out slower than our busa if they have to wait 2 more years to do so
they were always the king of speed in the past (before the XX... and only on some people's scorecards) and they will not rest until they are again
i really don't believe that they'll be able to increase the numbers over us the way we did over the XX but i know they will improve enough so that 100% of all testers out there will see that they have a faster and more track-worthy bike than our busa
the time has come when we must realize that bikes are no different than computers
we all know that the day you buy a computer, it is already out of date... that someone will see something 3 times faster for 1/2 the money 2 weeks down the road. bikes may take a year to improve upon but the top speed bike of the year will be just that... THE TOP SPPED BIKE FOR A YEAR !!!
