I have a book called "the ultimate history of fast bikes" By Roland Brown..


It has eveything

[DEATH_INC.]

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...

They got a nice silver ZX12 too,1 careful owner,never been wheelied/thrashed....
When I had it,I raced a couple of busa's at the drags,one stocker that I beat at the top end(muffler on the 12 only) and one really modded one(lowered heaps and pipe pc porting ect) that beat me,but only pulled away over the first 60',after that I could hold him,but couldn't make up for the start.
The euro mags generally had the 12 first the busa second,the yanks normally the other way round......only 3-4 k's between them though......
My 12 pulled 330kph on the speedo,which was actually about 307(calculated)and it pulled hard all the way there,and would do it in a real short space,but you usta run out of space real fast,so I never found out what it would do if I let it wind right out.It did 340 kph on the rpm limiter at the coldkiwi last year doing a burnout though

[Magua]

Why did you sell it, Death?

[dangerous]

My mate that recently brought a Busa looked at a ZX12 too, I rode this bike while he had it out on demo....... it was volatile totally insane, mind you it was a bike selling down here as it came from up north somewere (someone may know of it) it was a x drag bike green, lowered, full Muzzy system, there was a hole in the single seat cowle were I asume there was an ariel for timming and it had dark green wheels.
Give me the Busa anyday, mind you I should realy ride a stock ZX12....... oh yeah the idle on that 12 was up and down and all over the place something to do with the power comander.

[Sensei]

Hey Death INC : What time's did you do over a 1/4 mile ? My old GSXR1100 Best was 10.20 Sec 1/4 & 168mph Flying . I'm sure you should be able to top these . Sensei

so that was YOUR old bike? Geez that was good to watch. The bloke was lucky to only cut his number plate in half and not waste his rear light when the steel belts went flying!

[DEATH_INC.]

I sold it because I had too many near misses at high (250+) speeds,the handling wasn't up to the way I ride.......
I only ever got 10.5 secs @ about 227kph,too much wheelspin/wheelies.Did a 11.5 on the rear wheel all the way though......
It took me about 15 mins to unwind all the belts from the rear brakes afterward.....

Hahahaha - That's cool :

[erik]

someone passed me on the motorway a couple of days ago on a busa, even had "busa" for the numberplate, I thought that was pretty cool

[Omega1]

Cool bikes, the Busa ZX12 ,I have always wanted to take one for a ride but could never imagine owning one,I think a ZX10, R1,or Gixxer thou would be as far as I would go even those would probably to much for me,I dont know but someone who has ridden both could answer (eg.gixxer 1000 and say a Busa) is the acceleration the same? is it just a difference in handling?

Yeah, and he's *another* Te Atatu dweller.

The suburb is crawling with motorcycles, it seems.
