How about a pic.Sounds like it must be you. I've put over 5,000 miles on my Ultra kit (602 RWHP/327 torque) since it was built. I've ridden it every day - back and forth to work, up to Bear Mountain, down to Deals Gap, everywhere!! I've owned (and ridden daily) five turbo street bikes over the years and the Ultra is the not only the most powerful, but it is the best running and fastest street bike I have had in 25 years. . . I would ride it today, but its friggin 20 degrees!
My neighbor built a 03 busa . Put in a big block kit, 12 inch extended swing arm,nitrous, lowered in to 1/2 off the ground custom paint and lots of chrome.If I remember right it Dyno'd at 320hp. Drove it around town for about a month. Hit a low spot and put a hole in the oil pan. Ended up draining the motor of oil before he knew what happened and it locked up.I think most of the big hp bikes are project bikes people build for bragging rights. Once it's built they move on to the next project. Some just build for dyno shoot outs, others are strictly track rats.
Sure there are a few high hp bikes on the street, but they are not real common.
Considering that a stock early Hayabusa has a front wheel suspension travel of approximately 4 1/2", and a rear wheel suspension travel of about 5 1/2", I would say that running a 'Busa 1/2" off the ground in the street (with or without a low profile pan) is pretty stupidMy neighbor built a 03 busa .
