I'm going to question the riding/racing/launching/shifting ability of the Hayabusa rider.

No The Harley got off the line quicker. Note the tire smoke from the 'Busa.

Hayabusa guy still has one leg dangling at 660 foot mark. Probably wearing tennis shoes as well. lol

That's like saying "My Fat Bob 114 beat a C8 Corvette" Sure if the vette was driven by an 80yr lady and it was her first time with a clutch.

Good grief.. The guy even left the bags on...

The Suzuki is 200 Lbs lighter and has 160 ~ 180 Hp stock. They don't say what mods were done to the RK, but even with a 131 I doubt a Road King could beat a Hayabusa. The guy must have spun out good off the line and perhaps missed a shift or two on the way down the track
