As most here, I thought the race was BS. It looked like in one run that the gixxer guy came up out of his semi tuck and had given up for a second and then decided to get back on it, which would automatically open up a huge gap for the viper. Also, where is the data showing that a Gixxer 1k will in anyway pull a Busa from 70-170? I don't think so. As for how much money, who the f*ck cares. Thats a crutch that us bike guys seem to want to lean on whenever we come across a bad ass car. Generally if someone has enough money to drop $30,000+ on top of the purchase price of a Viper. They could probably afford the $11,000 purchase price of a busa and the addition $10,000+ to turbo it and make it bad ass. So who the hell cares if it costs 10x as much as a busa, its a car. If I buy a $5,000 bike does that instantly make all challenges by a busa null and void because new they cost twice as much? Flawed logic.
