" In addition, Suzuki announced the Dragon, a new turn-key Pro Stock Dragbike based on the Hayabusa 1500 motor that will be available through dealers this fall. Priced at just under $45,000 the bike will feature a state-of-the-art EFI system, an enlarged 1655cc motor and will be legal for NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class. The prototype test machine has run a corrected-altitude pass of 6.98 seconds in NHRA legal trim."
Shit, another purpose built drag bike.

Ah yes, if only . . . but you'd have a lot of fun putting the power down on that thing. 570 hp, yet the pic seems to have standard rear tyre and swingarm. If all you needed to do to get sub 7-sec passes was to bore out your busa and fit a supercharger, dont you think there'd be a few more people doing it?

Anyone know what the fastest run on a bike fuelled by petrol is?

Reported on April 1st, eh?

**terbang** · 3rd April 2006, 09:35

Oh cool more horsepower..!

Have a closer look at the headline in the announcement. "Suzuki Announces Hayabusa 1500
Saturday, April 01, 2006 "

Have and even closer look. "Saturday, April 01, 2006"

And an even closer look "April 01"

So, Who got caught then?

**bugjuice** · 3rd April 2006, 11:59

Got to be April fools joke, announced 1 April does look a little like a zx1400.
there is also a Ducati 1200R for 2007

**Qkchk:Me** · 3rd April 2006, 18:16

Hmmmm, if thats what the next busa looks like, I think the Zx1400 would be a better buy............ well maybe not. Time for a change? Bring on the XB12SS, R1 or RSV.
