This bike is flat out scary, check the speedo on the bike with the camera, 289kph while the Busa wheelstands past it.

Have a buddy with Hyabusa with a stretch kit and NOS.....but that is just SICK! :eek:

This is probably my favorite busa video:

The speedo is probably off, but he was definitely going a least 200mph.

From my experience with the busa the speedo looks spot on but it would have to be ungoverned (if thats a word)
-
Only the 2001 came ungoverned I think, but from what I heard it's not much work to ungovern them. What are they 185MPH rather than 205 ungoverned?

Was pretty impressive up until the videos of them running through traffic. Senseless risk

i used to have a buddy that had one. it was stupidly fast. he dumped it twice within the first month of having it.

ZX-14 pwns the Busa :neener:

The are really close with every test and competition that I have seen between the '08 models. It's really just a matter of preference. I'm speaking about stock models FYI.
I just happen to be slightly impartial to the ZX-14 at the moment even though I'm looking at buying one of my buddies' 08 GSXR 1000 Limited Edition OR using a certain special hook up to maybe buy a Triumph Daytona or possibly even afford a Ducati with some special pricing.
Oh, and let me add that anybody with 499 HP on the rear wheel of a bike is just flat out mentally challenged or crazy take your pick.

Now this is a bike to reckon with...Un fortunately the designer died and I'm not sure what has since come of this bike...I do however remember when they trialed it in a race and as the rider was passing one of the top placers he popped a wheelie...after the race he said that he had only open 3/4 throttle because he got too scared.....

Ghostrider is like kenny on southpark if he dies they put another guy in black leathers and send him out! :aok

i almost bought one of these ^

ok.....what the hell is the point in giving a bike 500bhp and then taking all the bodywork off so it no longer cuts through the air cleanly? I mean why? Why would you do that?
It's bad enough that someone has done this to a 40' long Busa and not a bike that'll actually corner properly....like an R1 or ZX-10R, but taking the bodywork off as well and reducing the top speed by a good 40-50mph??!
Why?
Cos he's a posing ponce with more money than sense.
The only reason I can think of is cos a ZX-10R with 500bhp would flip onto it's back if you so much as look at it funny, a Busa will at least be more controlable when the front end lifts due to the longer wheelbase and swingarm. Which means all this bike can do well is wheelie. Therefore my hypothesis stands, he's a posing ponce with more money than sense.

None of them came ungoverned.
Stems from a gentlemens agreement all the big Japanese bike firms made back in the 90s, not to make a bike faster than 300kph (186mph). However......I read a story in MCN last year saying pretty much all 4 firms had decided to say sod it and ignore the agreement from now on. You still won't see stupidly powerful and fast bikes coming from Japan though because......these big bikes aren't made for the Japanese market, they're illegal in Japan. All big bikes are made for the American and European markets.....and, for some reason, the Germans get really ancy about fast bikes and threaten to push all kinds of stupid safety laws through the EU parliament every time anyone hints at a Bugatti killing bike.

Swoop I almost bought an Hayabuse last year, a 2002. Doing my homework I saw a beautifull coper/silver one, but way $$$ and learned she was the first year model, they were not governed.
<found it>
In 2000, fears of a European regulatory backlash or import ban[11][12][13] led to an informal agreement between the Japanese and European manufacturers to govern the top speed of their motorcycles at an arbitrary limit, allowing the Hayabusa's title to remain, at least technically, unassailable, since no subsequent model could go faster without being tampered with.[14][15] Model year 2000 and later Hayabusas, as well as their competition, are electronically limited to 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph),[16] giving the unrestricted, 190-mph 1999 models even more cachet with collectors.

So my copper/silver beauty was a 1999 thus ungoverned :rock:

I stand corrected.
Well, I sit in front of a PC corrected.
So it was the busa that caused the agreement in the first place :).
-
I ride to work and back everyday and have a suitable 650cc v-twin for the task, but, as a rider I love the flat out power of some of my older bikes. I didn't want to start any arguments but just for other riders to have a look and fantasise about the absolute power this thing has.
-
If those dolts would do their tricks in closed areas it would be just fine. But they risk innocent bystanders by driving 280km/h in middle of regular traffic. Did you see how close the 'ghostidiot' came to rear ending an another motorcycle in the first film?
He's going to get what he asks for inevitably but I hope he doesn't take innocent lives with him. Darwin will chuckle in his grave.

That actually may have been on the Autobahn were it is perfectly legal to run at those speeds, still reckless, but legal.

LOL, this from a person that likes to corner at a 30* angle from the horizontal on public roads. :devil

AFAIK the ghostrider is swedish where they have a habbit of running souped up cars and motorcycles in middle of daily traffic (you notice most of the cars were Saab/Volvo).
The swedish police is totally ineffective at stopping both robbers and speeders in traffic.

I don't get why you're lol'ing.
I complain the busa can't corner well......and suggest a bike that will corner well. ie mine, cos I occasionally take her out for some 30* cornering on sticky tyres.

Never occured to me that a 500 hp bike would need aerodynamics......

It wouldn't need aerodynamics, but it would definitely increase it's top speed and performance.

Sorry but you would run out of road before the Ghostrider bike ran out of horsepower.....

I prefer the term 'wannabe ghost idiot rider' instead. :old:

213mph at El Mirage, CA SDRC :rock

They also run the hayabusa in a 32 Ford streamliner that has gone over 200 as well.

You obviously don't know much about how aerodynamics work, they don't just help out at the top end of the vehicles performance, they also help increase the vehicles 0-???mph time, and handling as well.
-
trax1, dont assume to know anything about me....
Also if your going to school me at least get your facts straight, increased aerodynamics work to decrease 0-XXX time. Besides for this bike the limiting factor for acceleration for most speeds is the weight over the front wheel and keeping it in proximity with the ground. This is in light of the fact that some bikes like this can lift the wheel of the ground at speeds in excess of 150 mph by simply applying the throttle.
Now go back to the your AHXARL sandbox....
Strip
-
First off your just getting into word play now, by increase you know that I meant it would be giving you a better 0-???mph time, unless your just that dense to think I actually meant that making the bike more aerodynamic would slow it down.
Remember your the one who basically said that with that kinda horsepower that aerodynamics wouldn't come into play, which is just idiotic, with that kinda horsepower & those speeds aerodynamics play a big role.
-
No genius I said he would run out of road.....ie speeds in excess of 200 mph on public roads doesnt mix well. Sure it go faster with it on a straight section of prepped surface like Bonneville. On public roads with traffic present he would go splat before ever hitting max speed. That is regardless of how well the damn thing cuts through the air at speed.
IE run out of road......which is what I did say.

Yay!!!

Apparantly you have never driven on the Autobahn.......you would run out of gas before road........... :bolt:
