Mine never ran right either bro , because of carby supplied .I wish I still had the 91 Gixx 1100 with a blower that I sold to buy the Busa. I never got it running right, had carb issues, but with today's fuel injection stuff it would have been a cool ride.
Mine had a 2 barrel mikuni blow through setup, throttle twist was longer than a whoer's dream and it refused to idle at anything less than 3k. I think with the standalone FI technology available today I could have built it into something streetable, different and fun. Plus, that bike is hands down my favorite body style.Mine never ran right either bro , because of carby supplied .
MV Agusta 1000 Senna Black 5000km , could of got it for around the same time and price as my L2 , but glad I got my Busa , because it was my most desired dream bike , and now it truly is built to that always dream stage .
Yes , it was a twin mikuni , like an old jet ski carb or something . Sims and Rohm supplied the whole kit , but we got the run around , because they were busting up as business partners when I paid for mine . It was 1276cc , I got it breaking down badly at 6,000rpm on dyno test , made 165bhp at 6,000 , and then refused to rev on . The bike when I thought it was running okay , I drag raced it 1 run , it stretched the non o ring chain 2nd gear real bad , so turned it off and coasted 10.3 @ 89 mph .... I could really launch it though , used to beat other GSXR's on street trying to sort it . It was a nightmare though , and yes I could of got it going today with the fuel injection too I think . My 1340cc / RS40 I turned it into was much more fun after all that .Mine had a 2 barrel mikuni blow through setup, throttle twist was longer than a whoer's dream and it refused to idle at anything less than 3k.

That's a similar scenario to mine. I ended up calling Billy Rohm and talking to him, Sims was into choppers by then. Billy was super nice and I probably could have got it right, but I got impatient and frustrated, so away it went. I can only imagine how difficult it would have been trying to get it right from OZ!Yes , it was a twin mikuni , like an old jet ski carb or something .

If I'd known how rare it really was, I'd never have parted with it. But, then I wouldn't have been able to buy the Busa, so there's that. Everything happens for a reason...Two guys on here had Sims and Rohm blowers-that’s awesome! Rare as hens teeth!
That would have been a blast to ride....Tried to turn my double engine drag bike from gasoline to fuel. Never did get the magic formula. It would never have gone as fast as a stock Busa. But it was such a rush to play with. Nothing like the misplaced enthusiasm of youth
I had to sell my '07 R7 because my now ex wife lost her job. Full titanium TiForce exhaust, GPR stabilizer, and PC3. Was so much fun to ride. Dont regret my Gen 2 Hayabusa though. Not even for a second.
R7!!!
How many of those came to the U.S?
Those things are rare here.
