Wanna know what the Busa's geared for in sixth?

[The Big Red One]

Just thought I'd share this site

http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/misc/SpeedCalc.html Going by the owners manual, with all the stock gear ratios, the Busa is geared for 204.6 mph at redline in sixth according to this gear/speed calculator. After reading this http://www.qsl.net/n5mya/bike6-99.html ...thats what the Busa would do if it was just nudging the redline...200.2 mph. So I have to believe the article is true

Woooweee...now thats one fast stock bike we own

Hope this calculator helps some of you guys out with those tough "gearing decisions"....lol.....its helping me

Plus it will help with finding out how accurate your speedo really is.

Couple numbers
Primary drive = 1.596 (83/52)
Stock sprockets = 2.353 (40/17)

Gears
1st = 2.615
2nd = 1.937
3rd = 1.526
4th = 1.285
5th = 1.136
6th = 1.043

Your busa is limited on top speed by the amount of torque it develops to push you that fast. Your stock busa will never see redline in 6th gear unless you get a down hill run. If you reach 190 on flat ground, you'll be lucky and that will take lots of that flat ground and a good day to reach?

Hey Jace, just order you a set of custom guages with the 220 on them...

Or you could have just gone to this site: and all the ratios are there for the Busa for you. Just plug in the sprocket numbers... (i.e. 16t/40t, etc.). Hope you all like this one better.

If you scroll down on that same site, you can do horsepower calculations also...
