Talk about excess and unuseable horsepower.

woah way too much power

Mickdady · 03-12-2005, 04:30 PM

Nothing like Turbo lag when coming out of a corner

MTL_4runner · 03-12-2005, 04:56 PM

He must have to fill up after a mile or 2, those gas tanks aren't very big and at 700 HP gas goes quick.
That thing must have a theoretical top speed of over 500 miles per hour.

The 500HP Dodge Tomahawk had a 400 miles per hour theoretical top speed:

I've got some videos of turbo Busa's and they are insane. One guy does a wheelie to 140, then when the front tire comes down I count 7 seconds to go from 140 to 220 and he then stays in it for another 1100 rpm. That's got to be well over 250mph.

why? Isn't that the reason why there are so many deaths in our roads?

I don't care how "good" you are at riding, be it on a closed course, and you with unlimited training, you shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff and it should not be "worshiped"(sp?) or seen as "cool".

Waterboy · 03-14-2005, 08:03 AM

That thing would be unrideable on the street, hell anywhere besides the dyno really.....I want one. jk

My favorite part of the article.

Quote:

The domestic bike category was dominated by, well, what else would you expect ... Harley Davidson. The champ in this class was Kevin Kelly of Weston, Florida who managed to get his harley producing 247 horsepower in the V-twin Unlimited category, narrowly ahead of Nick Trask of Phoenix, Arizona whose Harley generated 228 horses.

What other domestic manufactor is there? I guess 247 hp out of a tractor motor is quite an accomplishment but seems a little shadowed when you just get done reading about a smaller motor making almost 3 times as much.

X-AWDriver · 03-14-2005, 08:39 AM

The Harleys do put out HP in the NHRA Top Fuel drag bike catagory but they are given a little more displacement advantage to hang with the Japanese bikes.

MudMonkey · 03-14-2005, 12:03 PM

In another board I belong to, people are putting the Hayabusa engines in the classic Minis. I should put that link up on that board, and see what they say.

unreliable on the street, thats where they use them, I use to follow the underground bike racing scene and thats nothing, guys with 600 and 750 can take stock Hayabusa and then you want scary, you take the guys with highway gears that only wanna race from 60-200

I've met some crazy guys, guys who will pull up to a police car wave to the cop, do a wheelie or something to make the cop throw the lights on and then loose the cop

FilthyRich · 03-14-2005, 01:57 PM

If i never see another stretched, lowered, chromed sport again it will be fine by me. They only work on a dragstrip and handle like crap.

And those are the riders that should flip their bikes and seriously injure themselves.

People that are that inmature and irresponsible with anything with that much power deserve to hit something and never be able to ride again.

CynicX · 03-14-2005, 03:46 PM

Some people are immature and crazy, but it doesnt mean this guy is. He might just be hella rich and wanted to win the dyno contest so he took a hayabusa and put a ton of cash into it. Everyone knows thats way too much power to handle, sure you can ride the bike fast as hell but not at 100%, and if you try it will leave you by the wayside. I think its pretty "cool" that it can make that much power...it fun to push mechanical things to the limits and beyond....

Thats a powerful statement to say, have you ever heard that events in life come full circle, you better watch yourself, I would never wish injury or death on anyone

stevrock · 03-14-2005, 07:38 PM

I was only stating that they shouldn't be allowed to ride because who knows who else they can injure.

Would you be happy if some guy on a bike paralized a child of yours because he couldn't keep control doing a wheelie?

PS: I'm not supersticious, but if it happens, you'll all get to know, and see the pictures.

EDGE · 03-14-2005, 08:19 PM

I don't need to defend these guys they may like speed but they are only putting themselves in danger, many of them are fathers and husbands and work 8-10 and even 14 hours days, their average joes just tryin to provide for their families the best way they can.

They race mid week, middle of the night cell phones and the cops that race with them give them the heads up

Many of them have died in high speed accidents, it happens but thats the way they want to go, does not stop them from riding.

I get the misrepresentation of the sport, not that it really is a sport but enough participate, sport bike sales have increased steadily from 96 cause of the low price and the performance 1 can add for such a low price, all those newbies who think a fast bike makes them cool are the ones that are indirectly giving it a bad name.

Guess it all depends how you look at it.

Now as far as your child analysis, if a guy goes down in traffic doing a wheelie he better pray no one drives over him, and a car and it's passenger are way safer then the guy riding the bike, a sports bike hitting the back of a passenger car at 130 is like hitting a wall.

Who pays for their long-term care? Insurance, then the taxpayers.

Think it through a little more. There are other things that I would like to spend my money on.

stevrock · 03-14-2005, 09:05 PM

It all depends on where you live I guess.
I can't say that they should die, because they may have a family to support and I don't wish death on anybody.
Insurance will "only" cover up to $200,000 in my province, anything over that and you're on your own unless you opted for higher coverage and started paying for it before the accident. IMO, their own fault for not spending the cash, let them suffer with the pain.

I was driving on the highway and I see a tall obect, one headlight, coming towards me. A guy doing a wheelie on a bike on the highway, around rush-hour (yes, we get up to the speed limit). That's not responsible.

I would like to take something I said back earlier though, about the whole closed course and training and whatnot. If there is a way that damage can be limited to the bike and the rider, then it should be ok to do. Like a closed course.

I can understand the riding part, and I hope to get a bike within the next couple of years, but I will take all my training and I will most likely have a bike where the wheel couldn't be pulled off the ground if I popped the clutch.

Racing can be done fairly safely if you look into F1 where their safety standards are dropped down to the public level.
As with cycling, if the right protective gear if worn, it can prevent serious injury in a fall.

Sure I have friends that ride bikes, 2 of them then I know of that crashed their bikes this year, both are ok, but they ended up wrecking them doing wheelies.

SEAN_at_TLT · 03-14-2005, 09:18 PM

I knew a guy who went down doing a wheelie at about 100, he died and maimed three other bystanders that he slid into, including a girl who's legs got severed. This guy was a solid rider by all acounts, it's just that when a tiny error occurs under those circumstances death is often inevitable.

I also knew a girl in HS whos mother's car was t-boned (driver side) by a crotch rocket fleeing the police, she died instantly. Her car was nearly cut in half. The rider flew over the car and suferred serious injusries but was not killed. I swear this poor girl was never the same.

If someone wants to go 200mph on a closed course while doing wheelies, knock themselves out. But it's just not acceptable on public roads period.

CynicX · 03-14-2005, 09:25 PM

Well I agree I dont want to be killed nor do I want to see anyone else killed by a maniac on a bike. I realize some of you are in Canada so humor me. This is America and part of being American is living the life style you want, whether it being gay, different religion, or owning and building a crazy fast motorcycle. If its wrong for someone to make a fast motorcycle. We all might as well be on vitamin only diets, under survallience, in cages, on antibiotics....

All in all this motorcycle is no more dangerous then an un-experienced racer boy in a stock Honda Civic....

SEAN_at_TLT · 03-14-2005, 09:37 PM

I don't think anyone should be limited from owning a fast bike but certain people were condoning dangerous driving and playing down the danger to others it imposes.

dragr1 · 03-14-2005, 10:34 PM

Wow this post has gotten heated. Here is my view, I don't promote street racing, although I am an ex street racer myself. I have seen a lot of stupid things, mostly from younger kids that came to the races to party and fight and not to race. None of the racers would drink and none would race if traffic was anywhere near the area. We usually raced on Friday and Saturday nights starting at about 1 am and mostly in Industrial Parks or Industrial areas that were closed down. I'm not saying we were perfect b/c I did some really stupid stuff.

However, if someone wants to buy and modify fast bikes then that's their business. It's no different from modifying a car or truck. I will never wish harm on anyone, but nor do I wish that this kind of activity would go on in a populated area. Each to his own, just please use good judgement and watch out for the other guy, b/c they won't know that you are barreling down at them at 100+ miles per hour.

As far as glorifying the guys that are doing this stuff and posting it on the net. I'm glad they post it b/c I like to watch the videos.

X-AWDriver · 03-15-2005, 08:11 AM

You can mod a bike or car all you want but living in America doesn't make it ok to break the law;living your life the way you want whether it be gay,different religion or such isn't endangering my life or breaking the law but being stupid on public roads is a different story.
