Hayabusa

[texmo]

Is the Hayabusa the fastest bike ever? or is it just the fastest production bike, if so which is the fastest bike is it the MTT Y2K superbike the one that has a rolls royce helecopter turbine engine in it?

And do any of you guys have a bike that can go over 280km/hr?

Publicity sells bikes,Suzuki have made a legend and spun it for all it's worth,you are part of the spin.Ah,it was much more simple when kids were more naive - the Vincent speedo said 150mph - we were awed...the fastest bike ever.

I saw one outside a bike shop in,I think, Te Awamutu or thereabouts.Best bit about it was that this one was dusty and had worn tyres,i.e. some guy was using it for what it was intended for and it wasn`t stashed away in a garage somewhere doing 5 miles a year and getting polished 3 times a week while the owner watches the prices going up.
As for the Hyabusas top speed here at least they`re now restricted because good old Suzuki`s trumpetting got do-gooders all over Europe pointing at the adverts and threatening to ban bikes capable of such speeds.That`s looking more and more of a certainty in the U.K. as record numbers of bikers kill themselves and the the main cause has changed from cars pulling out to bikers losing control while speeding.Devon and Cornwall Police have recently directly suggested to the government that a ban on the more powerful stuff is brought in cos they`re fed up of shovelling blood and guts then having to explain to some guys parents that he wont be home for tea.The ineptitude of the manufacturers dosnt help,their answer to government requests for a bit of self-control was met by a "voluntary limit",that being that they limit bikes to 180m.p.h.,i.e. nearly 150% higher than the national speed limit,piss-taking like that deserves to get slapped down I`m afraid.

MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE

Engine:Rolls Royce Allison 250 gas turbine
Power:320 HP @52,000 rpm (286 HP @ rear wheel)
clocked at a record-breaking 227 mph.

My riding partner has an unrestricted 'busa and it kills my Blackbird throughout the accelleration range and top speed although the 'bird is still good for around 290km/hr. The downside of the 'busa is that it eats rear tyres. My mate averages less than 4000km. The bird averages a bit over 6000 km so there's always a downside to performance! Buying one is only part of the cost.

I would love to have a bike that has rear tyres that last that long. Both the VTR and the R1 would give me about 3500km MAX. Me thinks it is more the riding style and judicious use of the throttle than the bike

[Blackbird]

Most of my spare money goes into investments rather than tyres, so I'm easy on the acceleration which is the real tyre destroyer! I'm also a bit de-tuned at present due to a lack of riding and also writing off my Subaru a few months ago

I'd be interested in what conditions that run was performed under and what development the bike had,as I didn't think any stock Hayabusa had clocked the 320km mark.

When John Hepburn set the NZ record a few years back the average of the runs was about 315km.

Kawasaki were meant to be attempting to break that with a ZX12 but the day it was to be tried it was called off because of the weather and I think the bike wasn't ready

How much is a Hayabusa brand new?
I wanna put a Hayabusa motor in my scooter

Holeshot have a nice red 'bus going spanking new for $19K at the moment.

Better get in quick with your lunch money before someone else snaps it up...

[texmo]

YER....... now to get $19k plus another $5k to fit the motor..........

[StoneChucker]

My R1 has 180 bhp (with ram air), and is limited to 300km/h. Been up to 250km/h so far. I haven't had the chance/balls to take it to 300 yet. My skill level is low enough so I can spend the next couple of years "growing into" the bike.

There are so many different bikes, it depends what you want it for I think. Some have high top speeds, some are quick off the mark, etc...

180bhp nice effort man

[Two Smoker]

pretty much any 2004 litre sports bike will do 300kmh and have 180hp, Death Inc had a ZX12-R and he said that is the only bike that is really pulling (still) at 300kmh..... Old man has a Blackbird which pulls like afucking train....

fastest ROAD bike i know of will be Ghost Riders Busa Turbo, 499hp at the wheel and has a top speed of about 350kmh.........on one wheel hehehe

personally riding 600's doing 230-260 is fast enough for me at the moment.....
