World's fastest Busa @ 328 mph

[Sane_man]

The world's fastest motorcycle, a Hayabusa which went 328.304 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats last month will be on display in Northern Cali at Fairfield Cycle on Nov 6th.

The AMA champion and rider Jim Odom along with Rodney Smith will be there to sign autograph's.

I'll go and take some pictures at lunch time, since I have class that day.

Check it out if you live in the North Bay area.

Hey, that bike looks stock! Impressive. He must have done the air-box mod.

 

[Charlesbusa]

Stock,.... hmmmm

maybe he put a slip-on in addition to the air box mod

Is this legit? If so, someone give me a link to a news report or something.....:O

I found pictures of the Hayabusa, which doesn't look like a Hayabusa or a motorcycle at all except it does have two wheels.

It does look like a metaphor of the Busa, a phallic symbol. :laugh

Legit?

I got this from the newspaper and spoke with the Suzuki Dealership who tuned it, which is 5 miles from me.

It looks like they put a protective shell around the bike. Here are the speed run's of the Bike.

looks nothing like a busa or any bike for that matter. looks more like a sub on wheels.

I hate it when they do that. Use an amorphous blob with a famous bike/engine name. Stupid.

 

[Sane_man]

Ya, it is rather misleading. When I see it on Saturday, I will take detailed pictures and will see if it deserves to be called a Hayabusa.

 

[UNDRPSI]

that looks stupid...... not even realistic! If they are going to say "worlds fastest bike" then dammit it should be a bike! not a shell.

 

[Sane_man]

Here are the pictures I took of the "Hayabusa" today.

The Ack Attack is about 20 feet long, and for all intents and purpose's, it's nothing more then two Hayabusa engine's in a different chassis. It still has chain drive, two wheels, and it has a turbo.

Here is the front view.

Here is the cockpit.
