Faster than a Busa?
- Thread starter Irishluck
- Start date
who cares? in the end IT is STILL NOT a Hayabusa: fastest production bike for 8 years in a row, does as good on long tour rides as it does on twisties race tracks and drag stips.
The Hayabusa does 8 things very well.
Newer bikes do maybe 2 things better than the busa.

I agree...Love the Busa as nothing on the planet compares. Just pointing out what the thread topic was looking at. Speed of the Busa verse the Duc and the R1. Right now the Busa is the only bike in my stable. When I get ready to add another bike, it will most likely be the 2nd Gen Busa.

Busa was my first bike and my first car was a 450hp 76' transam 22yrs ago,Im still alive,let him get what he wants,can just as easily hurt himself on a moped.I dont believe in 1st bike,2nd bike B.S theres nothing out there to prove what anybody's "1st bike" should be...just get what you want and ride the hell out of it!!!
Sport Rider did the 1/4 mile on a bone stock 1098 in 9.87 sec. Stock 08 busas are faster depending on the rider. My buddy with the 08 leaves me in the dust at anything past 150mph. Up until that point it is all about who got on it quicker. The 1098 was not made for high speed racing in a straight line. I am cornering about 15-20mph faster than him though. On a twistie stretch of road the only thing stopping me from absolutely raping him is my constant wheelies coming out of the turns. The busa is still the absolute do it all motorcycle king! No one wants to sit on the highway on a 1098 for more than about 10 minutes. But hey, when ya wanna slap a goddess in the rear, accept no substitute!
