    After reading this story I had to chuckle a bit. What track has enough room for a 'Busa to hit 190mph in Florida (besides Daytona)?

    The salesman says, "You must have 5 years experience on a big bike to ride one of these." Is that on the credit application, or in his sales pitch? Most dealers would love to sell one bike line out continuously.

    That was definitely one for a big laugh. How many Hayabusa's have you seen on the track in the hands of a serious racer? The only one I can thing of is the one in FX, but then I left one in the dust on my 600 at Roebling because he could not get through the back section. (Oh and by the way, I'm slow [​IMG] )

    Orlando Speed World? Thought the only track there was Disney's IRL track?

    I think that Orlando Speed World is a Dragstrip. BTW, what a stupid article!

    Ha ha ha ha. Last time I checked a 'busa would smoke either car, but I could be wrong [​IMG]

    This article was pretty good ... NOT! LOL

    Well, then again, at least Mr Jones get his kicks at (what I presume is) the dragstrip.

    The only busa I have seen on the track is the one that Graves chopped and tweaked.
    oh well, they are writing about motorcycles so they can't be all bad.

    Ebsco ran a couple in the 24 two years ago, not a good roadrace machine but neat in their own weird way....

    Rad Greaves ran a Busa in AMA Formula Extreme that was completely reworked and tweaked with the help of support from Factory Suzuki. In an article i read that the data acquisition showed that on the front straight at Brainerd the rear wheel was turning 18 mph faster than the front!!! Thats HP!!!
