Hayabusa genuine top speed?

[nadroj]

As far as I know they were all (gen1) 175 hp at the crank, with the only difference being the 340kmph speedo ones of "99 having no timing retard on the 16 bit? processor.
Of note is the different timing for cyclinders 1 & 4 to 2 & 3 on all but models E03, 28 & 33 (USA, Canada & California)
A decent tune with K&N filter TRE & aftermarket cans can produce aprox 175 RWHP.
Gen 2 at 197HP at the crank would equate to aprox 175 RWHP.

just because it failed to top the Busa.

Um...come again? I can find plenty of comparo tests that say exactly the opposite. And the 12 was easy to get plenty more power out of.

In top speed testing on the release of the ZX12 it failed to beat the Bus. Then of course came the restrictions. On road and track the 12 was great but it couldn't crack the 300km/h mark.

Nope, the yanks couldn't beat the bus for some reason, every euro test I've seen it could.
The only Bus I ever ran on mine wasn't even close after about 300 yards...

One of the sad things about my current situation is that I'll never get to ride one, now.

Don't worry Ed, I'd fall of one in the first twenty seconds.

[gunrunner]

But isnt the original model the fastest as all later models were sort of restricted , but there are ways round dat ..

I don't think I've got big enough balls to ride one and IF i did I think I'd be left sitting on my arse on the footpath as it took off

It's a great bike in its own right.

Not to mention so much better looking than the Bus

Beauty is in the eye ... I've got used to the Busa over the last 12 years and the latest looks good to me. I do agree I like the 12 and reckon the 14 is ugly.
