You guys 
well, according to this Suzuki Hayabusa (2nd Generation) Vs Suzuki B-King GSX1300BK they've got the exact same gear ratios but the b-king is both heavier, less aerodynamic, and has a bit less power. I could probably still see it getting close to 175 or 180mph stock on a good day with a little tailwind though. with the limiter disabled of course. main limiting factors being the poor aerodynamics and lower power output. Given these facts though, with equal riders, I just dont see how it could outrun a busa stock for stock.
so what about gearing?? there the same "aparently"
all i know, my b-king, is fast, very fast, but you couldn't compare it to the speeds of the busa gen 1 or gen 2...
Even a turbocharged b-king, against a standard hayabusa will NOT keep up, or might do up to 100mph, then airedynamics kick in... hence the top speed compared to the b-king and hayabusa... around the same amount of power, hayabusa abit heavyer, but has a higher top speed...
Im getting rid of my track busa as i dont like it any more, but a year ago i did...
then i joined hayabusa.org
and hayabusa's have grown on me... i dream of them!!!
id sleep on it if i could...

Just for the record - I didn't state the B-King was FASTER - I was just responding to the idea a turbo B-king couldn't take down a stock Gen I or Gen II Busa and that the B-King is capable of only 155 MPH. I know from experience it will hit a true 157 in 5th gear(GPS) and has got a lot left. I've owned both and the Busa definetely owns the top end and the quarter. But the B-King is only marginally less capable than the Busa and has a lot of qualities the Busa doesn't.
Bashing the Busa in the speed department is like calling Tiger just another golfer... No Busa dissing here.
For those who are interested here is a quarter time slip with 9.9 time for the B-King and a Dyno run to 155 in 4th gear. And thats not chop liver...

Just popped in to see if anyone got beat up yet...:tiptoe:
actually the b-king is almost 30lbs heavier than the 2nd gen busa and around 45lbs heavier than a gen1 busa.
what you call "qualities", I call "deficiencies".
Seriously though, I dont think anyone doubts that the b-king is a very powerful bike. if I were after a standard, its the only one I would ever consider.
Not many motorcycles faster than than the B-King - Common thread between the busa and the b-King... Awesome power plant...

the busa is so much faster!!!!!!
on the suzuki gen website, it says, all the stats apart from fuel capacity are faster than the b-king...
on a strait line drag, the hayabusa is at 140mph when the b-king gets the 120mph...
around the same weight and bhp... but the busa is faster, only difference the busa is nearly a foot longer!

Shane's bike was not "stock" John
The bike was completely Stock, The only thing it had was a ivans TRE and that was it.

TRE for sure...not sure if he changed the gearing, or what else he did to it...stock I think they are only good for about 155
No gearing change, nothing besides a TRE.
True they are limited in 5th and 6th gear, they will actually run faster in 4th from the factory than they will 5th and 6th.
The busa is NOT a foot longer, Wheelbase on a Gen 2 busa is 58.3 inches, and on an 08 B-King is 60.0 inches That is the facts!
