Hayabusa genuine top speed?

High nines out the box

Most new 1000cc and up sports bikes are very fast and it's a piece of one-upmanship to be quickest over the quarter. I'm more interested in the top speeds of these bikes as it was the aerodynamics of the Busa that got it there as much as the power. That's one of the main reasons the ZX12 didn't make it as while Kawasaki did pay some attention to drag, it wasn't nearly as successful as Suzuki.

I doubt the new 14 has the slipperiness to top the Busa, even if it has a bit more power.

Not to mention so much better looking than the Bus

Oh my. That looks proper good.

I've never seen one run a 9.7 though without being strapped down.

So we know it has all the power, but, I have to agree with you. It doesn't look overly aerodynamic big as grills on the side etc.
Time will tell though
