There has probably been a thread about this. but, anway . . .

i wondered if somebody could tell me what the fastest standard production bike in a straight line. i am thinking the gsx1300r. but, not too sure. if you were going to do a 1/4 mile or even mile drag. which one would be the fastest. can someone please help me with this?.

iirc, the zx14 can do a 9.8-9.9 1/4 mile straight out of the box. Couple of basic mods, and it drops to low 9s.

Someone told me the new busa was going to be a 6 cyl I think, so the power war is ooooon :ride:

Qkchk

6th June 2006, 17:37

Thinking about the recent dragwars we had in April, the R1 came out on top - that is if we are only talking a 1/4 mile, anything after that and Im sure the ZX1400 will take it.

The Stranger

6th June 2006, 17:38

at this point in time the zx14 eats the busa, and for the money the 14 is far better buy

the new busa won't be out until 2008 - is what the word is suzuki.

So if you looking for fastest in straight line, get that scream eagle harley thingy, or the zx14($21k brand new which is good money for the bike) busa($20k brand new)

Bang for buck I would go with the Busa

Ok, not exactly out of the box, but save money, buy the Busa and use the saving to work the motor.
There is a heap of performance stuff out there for the Busa.

I hear they can take them out to about 1650 cc.

Also when you have over 100hp on tap, you can almost be guaranteed of a decent midrange. My thou wheelies off a twist of the throttle, on the 750 you had to plan it out in advance.

because some people aren't satisfied unless they have the biggest, baddest, fastest, best, even if its more than they need.

And seen as how 20k will get you the some of the fastest bikes in the world. Its quite easy to succumb

most of people who start threads on here asking which bike is faster, how fast is this bike, how fast is that bike - which is the fastest bike i can get for my money etc etc probably never ridden anything quick. They dont understand how ludicris an R1 etc actually is.

Doesn't take you long to realise that you need talent, quite a bit of talent to out ride a bike with more than 100hp+ let alone the 155-160 of some of the top 1litre bikes.

Or look at it from another angle. You reckon you could significantly outrun yourself on a gixer thou if you were chasing yourself on a gixer 600?

And not that i have checked - but i would guess manufactures ranges are probably only 10-15% made up of bikes with greater than 100hp at the rear.

Wise words, I got the shock of my life once to have passed a GSXR600 on the Tukkas. The guy (not a biker I recognised as welly crew) was all over the show, couldn't believe he was licenced. We pulled up at the top and he started talking to me. His tyres were bald and he admitted to being a learner.

That bike should have been able to eat me for breakfast then come back for lunch. It goes to show its not the weapon its how you use it.

Had a number of 750's now, and I know I'm faster on the thou. And like I said having a 150hp bike means you have a meaty midrange, oh how I love that midrange. Don't get that on a 750, and most certainly not on a 600. Even though my bike would hardly ever see 11,000rpm while cranked over in 1st or 2nd gear on the road, I know I would be hard pressed to go back to a 750, don't think I would ever consider a 600. Just love the way it delivers the power.

Another point is until I rode a thou I used to think they were too much for the road. Now that I own one that line of thought has gone straight out the window.

7th June 2006, 13:22

I feel some people in this thread are missing the point of a big bore bike, Well One Armed Bandit has a good handle on it me thinks.

There is something VERY intoxicating about the sheer midrange torque as they surge ahead on just a whiff of throttle. (600 riders, till you ride one, shut up) You do not have to ring the last few % out of a big bore to enjoy it. It is not about the outright speed as much as the FEELING it gives.
Big Bore Bikes are pussy cats anyways, it is only when you try to get the last 10% performance (and I mean that in every sense of the word, as in handling, corners, power at the same time) out of them on the track, and prolly 20% on the road that they turn into tigers with claws.
Now that just happens to be the zone I like to play with my big bore kittys, it does not mean that every big bore rider has to explore those outer limits to enjoy riding one.
In short, it's the feeling they give at all times, not just at the edge of their performance capabilities that count. Capiche?
(BTW, my ZX9R has a muzzy 998 big bore kit in it, and man is it so much more fun now!!!)

For the record, I ride my old 1989 ZXR750 postie bike on the road, and just love that too! :love: (any modern 600 will trounce it!)
But come time to do that Cliff Hanger hill climb in the Waiarapa the other month, which bike do you think I pulled out to use from the Green fleet?
Yep, the superbike, and boy did I have fun thrashing it, I topped it out in top gear in 2 sections including a series of flip flops, what was that about never being able to explore the outer limits of a big bore? Trust me, they are easier to give a hiding on a quiet open country road than your average NZ racetrack!

okay i think i can somewhat speak on this subject, in the family fleet, we have gsxr 600, gsxr 1000, gsxr 1300.

Riden them all, each are awsome bikes, and designed for simlar, I love riding my 600 most of all, i got a 600 since personally i like smaller bikes (previous was a 96 gsxr1100) but the busa is a hell of a fun bike to ride. it just has massive grunt, everywhere, and still handle pretty much whatever anyone can throw at it. Were the 1000 is stuck in the middle, of the two. in terms of weight, power etc etc. The busa owner, riden my bike a few times, and likes it on track, but open road much perfers his 1300.

Each of us are different, ride different, corner different etc etc, different tastes. Other wise everyone would ride the same thing, and now much fun that would be(not).

We buy bikes for what the style we want to do, drag racing, straight line you are after a big bore bike, zx14, zx12, busa etc. due to massive grunt. and the like.

JWALKER, like i said first off, go look at zx14r, zx12r, or busa, buy which ever one gives you the biggest boner, and go from there, for the pick of the bunch at this point in time is a zx14r(short on the ground in the country at moment as in stock numbers to buy). But any of these motors will be cabable of unleashing alot more hp, to get quick times on the strip

If you've got power, you don't need to use all of it... you'll find the controller in your right hand.
Having said that, I like to keep the revs up, blipping the throttle through downchanges, and engine howling out of the corners. 1000cc+ bikes need to be ridden with more respect than that... or it will bite the unwary.

Triumph Rocket III has better 0-100 times than a busa

Triumph claimed 2.8 secs, to my knowledge that hasn't been duplicated.
Their rider was probably some 20kg Somali refugee.

I've had a go on one and I would believe it - too busy hanging on to think about timing. Amazing pull from very low revs. An aptly named bike, the Rocket.

When they 1st came out & were being tested by various magazines, one outfit (can't remember who) measured the acceleration at 1.3Gs for the rocketIII.

Funny though that no-one has mentioned a Munch Mammoth, more easily got than a Y2K. Powered by a 260hp Cosworth motor.

Or a Boss Hoss V8 if straight line punch is what your after

Didnt ta magazine do a test where the compared the acceleration of a Rocket III to a CBR1000RR... The CBR had the SAME 0-100 time as a rocket III then ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner everywhere else....

The ZX14?, hah!, The Fastest production bike of all is the Y2K Voltinator from Suzuki :blip: , Eats the 1400 for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :spudguita

the Y2K isnt made by suzuki eat ass. its made my MTT (marine turbine technology) and yes it is the fastest production bike in the world with 5 factory made each year. 300hp and a top speed of 227mph on the salt flats. john leno has one and melted a front bumper of a car at the lights cause it stop to close to him.

illegal in california now becuase of the exhaust temps

There is nothing like the big torque of a large cc bike, that is what gives it a powerful midrange.

As they say - There is NO replacement for displacement.

You got to have ridden one to experience the feeling, you can just not explain it.

Hell it get ridden round by most riders in the twisties ...... but, we all end up getting there at the same time.

because its a suzuki. and its to heavy.

it was only made to be the faster than the honda black bird. and displacement had to be increased by 300cc to beat it, i would like to see suzuki have the same engineering skills as honda and build a bike with same displacement. honda could come along and rebuild the blackbird with a 1300cc engine and i bet it will kick the pants of the busa.

oh and my mate has one, and its like driving a tank with 2 wheels.

onearmedbandit

19th June 2006, 00:05

To gain say only 10km/h when you are already doing 300km/h takes a lot of horsepower Dan. But when you bear in mind that the Blackbird is 1137cc and the Hayabusa is 1298cc (giving 161cc difference) rather than your claimed 300cc I think the Hayabusa is doing quite well.

No arguement there, I've always compared 2 stroke 250's to inline 4 400's in terms of power, but the 2 strokers are lighter. Love the smell, sound, and accel of the smokers.

thats cos most of us dont have any idea how fast these bikes really are. i got to ride my dads fj1200 today, and now i think i wouldnt have the balls to crack a zx14r open in a even slightly twisty road, an fj was fucking mental quick.

i think ill leave this debate up to the people who have ridden the mental bikes themselfs and are unbaised.....
but fuck that fj1200 was incredibly quick and scary...and i didnt manage to get the throttle wide open in 3rd! i dropped nuts before then.... the big bikes more than likely dont have the handling of the small bikes but i can see why people ride them, and its not compensation either:nya:

Funny that there is so much discension on this thread when it is all really chalk and cheese. Two of the best things about bikes are accelerating the arse off almost anything with four wheels and fangin around corners, and each requires different bikes with any amount of compromise in between.
The Rocket 3 is great for stretching arms and compressing arse cheeks but I bet you would work up a bit of a sweat round some tight coromandel windies.
Busa's are pretty nuts but even throwing them round windy roads is a handful. Either of these are MEAN straight line machines, so it really just depends on what flicks your switch and how many moths you want to keep in your wallet.
Found a great little side article in a Pommy bike mag (it's still floating around on the shelf somewhere) the gist of which was that if you rode a busa at 9/10 all the time you would spend more on rubber than you would on petrol!!!
