    So, what on earth are you supposed to do with another 270hp on top of that? How could you even control something with that much power? A slight over revving in first gear or anything, and you'd most likely do a backflip

    I dunno how that ghostrider dude does it on the turbo 'Busa. Kudos to him for owning something as ridiculous as that and still being among the living.
    Yea about the living part! he isnt in that club any more!

    You could of course put an extended swingarm on the back and have it spin up instead of wheelie. Seen a video of a guy on a Turbo'd 07 ZX10R with a 12inch extended swingarm - doing 300kmh (off the clock) with the rear spinning up.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.

    You do realise this is nothing new, not saying its not insainely impressive but a 450hp turbo 1000 is old news....
    Guys in the states are making 650hp+ on stock capacity busas.... street leagal too.

    Theres a vid on youtube of a turbo busa running on the street, street tyres lights plate etc then at the track, ends up running 7.8**sec @185 odd mph (300kmh) in the 1/4 mile...... and thats somewhere around 400hp atw.

    Search up: 'dani's hayabusa' if you want to see it.

    the boost would be a gradual increase to gear selected and ground speed , you would not have 450 hp in first gear at 10. k the bike would be rideable.
    you can never have enough hp .

    i heard he got sick of people imitating him and killing themselves so he just stopped.....
    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
