Is it true that a stock 1400 is just as fast as a 1397 in 1/4 mile ?
i had my bike dynoed yesterday and there was a guy with a 08 busa that made 176 hp so i seriously doubt that a 10 would make 196 without major mods.

That's like at 10,000 rpm. 99-07 Busas make around 140rwhp at 6-8k rmp (correct me if I'm wrong). How much time do you spend at 10,000 rpm on the street? For most of us, the Busa's power is much more useable.
I'm pretty sure that the zx-10 wond't go 190mph+, too.
Basic rule of thumb, if a printed number seems high it's because they measured at the engine (bhp). There isn't going to be a single release of a bike that is leaps and bounds more powerful than any of it's competition.
1397's have huge variations on the build specs. Could be from 190-225rwhp depending on what all was done.

all i know is dont race a busa with a 10. i have a buddy that talked major "S" about his 10, because my plate says "saybye"
he wanted to talk smack to the tune of, "you think that plate means something?"
i say "yeah it means a lot when i gas this bit**"
he says "lets see"
im "o.k. i'll give you the hit and 2 bikes"
after 2nd gear he lets off (i guess)
him "damn i guess that does mean something"
me "have you never seen a busa before?"
him "lets get in some twisties!!"
me "uh, uh, uh..."

I say 173 at the rear wheel if that.
Even IF it had 196 at the tire it still wouldn't be capable of the Busa's top speed. Its just not aerodynamic enough. Somebody correct me if im wrong.
HP numbers are great if they are usable. I love my turbo Busa because I have the power where I can use it. It handles quie well in the twisties as well. I do have to confess that for somone with my limited skill set my Ducati 999 (which for your number fans is a relatively low horse power bike) let me get away with more in the twists.
