Hyperbike ownership

[Crasherfromwayback]

Personally what I find frustrating about the hyperbikes is that they aren't very good for tall guys - and there are plenty of us.

You'd think 'big bike - bit of room' - but peg to seat height is the same as a supersports.

Yeah the cut outs in the tank are no good for you big fellas eh! Same prob with the B-King. Cost me a few sales that did...

Yeah on a gen I they did very well at Bathhurst with Johnny Hepburn, can't remember if BB was there then too. A GSXR1000 will wheel stand off a wee crest at 250kph on full throttle because it's powerfull and light. A GSX1300R will do it because it's heavy and packed with fuck you cunt HP and torque.

Heh, yeah my mate has a Gen1... I call it the Millenium Falcon cos that what it feels like when you sit on it but also gets you to warp speed before you know it... very impressive power but he needs it cos he 130kgs and 6'3... He's lost about 20kgs this winter so power to weight will be up this Summer

Watching with interest , don't forget the torque factor and dropping it into the equation as it needs to be factored as well.

GSXr1000 182hp crank and 117nm @ 12k rpm

GSXR 1300 Gen2 196hp and 154nm @ 10k rpm

Simply, there's where your extra ponys come from , longer legs and more cc's , the 30 + % more torque makes all the difference.

The Busa makes enormous torque through the midrange whereas the typical 1000 Sportbike is designed for high rpm and good fun round the track. But relatively very low on mid-range torque.

You've never ridden a Gixxer thou then?

The things have had stupid useable poke, from 4000 rpm since the first model. And a useable rev range from 2500 all the way to the limiter.

K5 is my favourite of the motors. INSANE torque!

The busa clearly has more, and seems like it's the quicker bike on paper.

I know which one most riders would be safer on though, given the appaling state of the skills required to be on the road in New Zealand.

A Busa is actually way easier to pottle round on than any GSXR1000 too mate. You really must go for a good thrash on a GenII Jobby. You'll be a believer.

You'll be a believer.

You gonna throw in a fancy battery with that?

Jimmy has a shit eating grin on his face, everytime he gets off one. I'll have a hoon one day.

I don't remember riding the gen1 come to think of it. For some reason I'm sure I have though.

That's because Jimmy gets off on eating shit.

I heard your steak and wedges were restaurant quality, he rates them, now I learn they're shit.

Hahahaha...if I may say so myself...

What mods? Sound like they are almost bone stock

Reads like the guy on the R1 was a pussy too!

10 seconds +!

[fatboyzed]

Not sure but think the r1 was standard (owner would have to confirm) the 08 busa wasn't road legal and had lots of pretty stickers all over it.
