499HP TURBO HYABUSA the 2 wheeled kind

[phatzo]

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!

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)

[SFRT - Frenchy]

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

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.....

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.
