Any bike that is good for sub 10 second passes with a little practice is fast in my books.

When I had my CBR1000RR, a friend had a busa. Both bikes were stock with exhaust. I would tear his *** up at lower speeds, then anything past 140 he would pull me. From a 150MPH roll, he would start pulling away pretty hard.

And that new BMW is BAD!!! I just can't stand the looks of the 2 different shaped headlights.

Those bikes are off the graph. All that power is so unpractical around here though. If you even grabbed a handful of throttle, you'd be at "go to jail speed" in a blink of an eye. Not speeding ticket - bike seized, license suspended, criminal charge kind of speed.

In-flippin-sane. I'd run out of driver long before I ran out of throttle on one of those.

Give ya props for trying! Kinda like a Piper cub trying to keep up with the space shuttle though. I'll play with the 600s but forget anything 900 and up.

A 600 would still spank almost any Harley. RPMs and weight is where it's at.

Lady that lives outside of Tulsa has a Turbo-Busa that is suppose to put out 295 horsepower to the rear wheel with a conservative 'street setup'...

I don't know a thing about Busa's (or Turbo Busa's), but was told that if you want to go 'wild' you could set them up for over 600 horsepower..

I have to 2008 hayabusa as my fun bike. This is a video of me and a friend playing on a back road. He is on a built GSXR 1000 and if you look at the right side of me at the end you will see him come by me at 165 mph. My bike runs 9.50 in the qt mile.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-86gwt-Pqg
