Think she'd kill me!!
Bulli:
Sorry guys nice Busa but shame about the BS speedo. Notice how in American(55mph) traffic he is not overtaking one of the cars...yet his speedo says 90! BS all the way.
Ive done over 180 on the IOM(not here obviously) and trust me its more than a bit quicker than he was going! 172 at the wheel normally aspirated...and i used to have a 40 bhp NOS kit on there as well

Still want one ;)
one of the guys in the SOC (suzi owners club) has a busa that is wicked.....last time he had it dyno'd they nearly lost it due to it breaking all of their straps.. think it had 220bhp at the rear wheel....he was sending off fot a N2O kit and a turbo...NUTTA!!!
think he'd let me have a go???
BTM have lost a few mates to accidents, and the few close calls I have had have all been through SMIDSY's (sorry mate I didnt see you) usually too busy using phones or talking to passengers to either look around or even use indicators...worst of the lot are REP mobiles.. closely followed by your friend and mine CORSA MAN..yep the old £500 car and £1500 stereo brigade, usually try and race me in their 1.0 16v turbo (well the stickers say it is ;) ) then as you trounse them they get arrogant and try and win by force.. I find a well placed steel toe cap to either the middle of the door, or a knee to the mirror usually slow them down... even had one jump out at the lights - so I took off my helmet and told him if he didnt get back in hed be wearing it as a gum shield......:D:D:D

not ALL of the USA has a blanket 55 speed limit, plus by the lok of it he was' having a go' as most car drivers attempt to do!

There are places in the states where 70 is acceptable as here :)
There is also a derestricted road in Idaho just over the us/can border. Not tha I've tried it or anything :)
Bulli:
Yeah right, so they may have been doing 70...still BS. 220 from a busa really??? what had been done to it? Ive seen lots of dyno run bikes as i used to work in the trade(one of my mates worked for tts aswell) and even big bore , gasflowed beasts rarely make 220 (heres a video of one making 209...and i think hes spent lots of money). It accelerates quicker on the dyno than that turbo busa does in top!

More likely fantasy dyno. Loads of dyno operators give high figures as it makes the punter feel good. The only true comparison is running one after the other on the same dyno.
I know my bike is an old warhorse but it is 1277 cc 13.5:1 compression. 40mm flatslides 2mm oversize valves Kent pro race 1 drag cams and everything balanced.I have never had a problem with boy racers and by the time ive hit 3rd they arent in the same town anymore...let alone having a pop at me :wink:
