Hello all my friends have been telling me about a new hayabusa that is capable of 230+mph Cool

i was just wondering if it was true??

AFAIK, Suzuki aren't releasing a "new" Busa (not in 2004 anyway). A near-stock, but derestricted, Busa can probably just about manage 200mph, so it would take some serious tuning and engine mods (such as an 1800cc kit, turbos etc) to get anything near an extra 30mph.

Bottom line: it's bullshit.

To do 230mph on a bike requires a ridiculous amount more power than to do 200.

Even to get a busa up from the 190ish stock top speed (or whatever it is) to 200mph requires quite a lot of work. The aerodynamics at this speed means that wind resistance is so great that power required is quite possibly going up exponentially to go faster.

I've never worked out why anyone would want to try and do 190 on the roads, let alone 200 , or 230!?

For drag racing fair enough, but people tune up their road bikes when there is no point.

Just my opinion though, I prefer twisties!

You'd have to try and get that fast just for the buzz of adrenalin. And of course just to see how the high street looks as you rocket through town. Very Happy

You have to try some things. Life wouldn't be worth living otherwise would it.You can't say you wouldn't.

Doing 200mph might be a great idea but I can't see why you would do it through a town. Maybe a motorway at night or a very long straight on an A road but never through a town, are you stupid? Confused

it is but you'd just have a 200mph chance of hitting something or someone. Ok i'll try it on the motorway then. Only wanted to see partners at high speed.

i've never even seen a partners truck at normal life speeds. So I wouldn't see it would I. Because I don't know what they look like

Speaking from experiance, partners do use 7.5 ton trucks and its surprising how much stock is shifted in a week, even from a small store.

https://www.divuk83.com/downloads/hayabusa220mph.wmv not sure wether this clip is genuine, but it does look cool. Mr. Green

The clip is genuine, the speed is not.

To start with there's no way that's 220mph.
The bike has been down geared I believe, but the speedo has not been corrected, so it goes slower (but accelerates quicker in theory) and shows a proportionally higher speed than the original.

Yes its true ive ridden two versions of hayabusa's that can do 230mph!
the first was a dragbike so it cant really be counted but the other is a road bike! Twisted Evil

it has twin turbo's,nos,electronic gearing and i dont think i have been so scared in all of my life when i rode it! (well not on a public road of course)
