You know........I have come to the conclusion that none of you guys are playing with a full deck! Hmmmmm, maybe that's why I love it here........birds of a feather, eh?

 

[300Busa]

  That commercial is great...  

What's so amazing is how smooth the bike is at that speed; you don't feel like you're going 100 and that's what I intend to tell the cops if they catch me doing it

 

unless you have a speedo healer, you really aren't doing a 100

 

[300Busa]

just remember, well I like to tell all the kids that like to drive that fast, "if you had to stop quickly at XXX speed, could you?" I tell them get up to 100 miles per hour and try and quickly stop.  I do this to get them to put it in their mind that nothing related to stopping happens fast other than a crash at that speed.  knowing how long it takes to slow down in an emergency should put it in your mind that there is a time and a place for those speeds. okay off my soap box.

Aaaah, the first time you see a cop in the triple digits, you learn real fast how quickly you can slow down at that speed

Or if it is too late, you learn how quick your bike really is. Not that you should do anything illegal, just what I have heard anyways.

Mapquest should add the option of "Busa time" to the driving directions.

 

[Revolution]

dangnabit! so it was'nt 100mph?!

"that bike was fast" "it was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!" "shoot"

 

[300Busa]

were you in a full-tuck position or just sitting upright? I know that when I go into full tuck mode at say 80mph, I gain another 15mph just by putting my chin on the tank and being more aerodynamic.

 

[Revolution]

yeah i was full tuck, mannnn it was sweet.

 

[HayaVegas]

I am curious how smokinGunz has almost a thousand posts and hasnt hit 100 on a busa till now.

Be careful smokingunz. If you do happen to hit 150, do NOT, sit straight up...or you may watch your busa ride off without you.

However, I dont think you needed a full tuck at 100, - I have ridden sitting straight up at 100 with no hands just to watch how perfectly the bike tracks.

Now you are going to do it all the time,why??? Because you can and 2 because it is so darn fun. there is a straight strech like that on my way home.( Itake the long way home of course)Dude in mommys minivan wanted to race me last night.He actually got it to 110. Then I shut her down.She wanted to keep "playing"I call it.You will find Dodge Hemi pickups will want to race you too.Its pretty funny.Just because they have a hemi they think they are gonna git ya .Nope!

Hey, I got a Hemi in my 300. And I can beat a bike!!! Maybe a 250 or something!!!!! I would go as far as to say maybe a few slow Harleys too.

I noticed with a double bubble, it is alot easier to sit in a up position at 80 to 100. I am thinking about getting a touring, does anyone have any input about sitting position and speeds with one?

 

[busa-rich]

yeah yeah yeah i know this is slow for you all.

i've never been up to 100mph. went up to 90 on the harley but that was it. maaannnnn the busa is rock solid and smooooooth.... hit the mark then just coasted down to speed. did it on a road that has no side streets, no driveways, and no oncoming traffic for safety.

ever see that comercial about identity theft with the two old ladies talkin' about motorcycles? "them bikes was fast, tell you what...shoot"

Long island has roads like that

once you get a taste of triple digits you cant stop..

 

[Revolution]

good info, thanks vegas

 

[quikbusa]

Almost 100 more mph to go. Be safe.

ya poor ####### !!!!i did a big ol ..205 (speedo indicated )this past weekend ,and was pissed cause it didnt pull to the 215 to 220 the speedo says!!!!!!!!you know you can still get out of the addiction while you have a chance ? get out now if you can!!!!!

 

[crepitus]

THE GOOD: Way to go! New milestone in your life. Sounds like you felt pretty good about it!

THE BAD: busa only doing REAL 91 when speedo hits 100

THE UGLY: ADDICTION! You really can get used to, or NUMB to high speed. 100 [strait up on the dial] is my FAVORITE normal cruising speed - though I rarely find the wide empty spaces to do it

These bikes are different for everyone. Use it however YOU feel like it.

what is the actual speed when doing 70?

 

[moeluv]

Hey congrats but i've done 150 sitting up (laying n the tank with my stomach is still sitting Up)
