Default Keeping up with a Hayabusa...

Yeah, it didn't go too well. It was definitely fun trying, though.

This guy had a chick on the back and just disappeared right in front of me, through twisty city streets. Insanely fast.

I think the 193hp BMW S1000RR is the new king of the hill, but, yeah... not much will keep up with a 'busa. By the time a 'busa is shifting into second you'll have rowed through all five gears.

I sold a Honda CBR 1100XX for my 48, and I wouldn't look back. Yea it was fast, to damn fast for me, and I didn't like the riding position. But all that H.P. was fun.
