Place your bets….TOP SPEED!

But only if the rider tucks out of the air stream
if the rider is a big lad say 300 pounds that ain't easy
I've not read anything regarding the gen 3 having a lower drag coefficient than the gen 2 although it makes sense as it does look a bit more slippery up front,
Weight by itself shouldn’t be an issue for top speed but for speed to distance (heavy stock cans for example) weight will be limiting. Some LSR rockets are heavy as hell but they’ve got miles to get to speed. If a stock 99 Hayabusa made 194 as advertised, I wonder what distance was covered to attain that speed.

Using a BMW Navigator IV for GPS top speed, Gen 3 with full Akra, no hump, mirrors closed, Suzuki touring screen (+40mm or 1.6in taller), 190/55-17 rear tyre, 98 RON premium gas (Europe), level road, no wind, 3km (1.9 mi) stretch, Shoei X-Spirit III helmet, rider weight 198 lb, maxed at 308.6 kph or 191.8 mph fully tucked. If more space was available my perception is that it would go a smidge faster.
I imagine the hump fitted would add something.
A true 191.8 is still a respectable speed to me.
Good luck out there! 
186mph
unrestricted...but otherwise stock.
Not enough hp to carry a big guy any faster(ok, maybe 2-3 mph with enough road)

Track is 2.2-mile so place your bet on any distance. I’m going to try and Dragy all the data.

in the UK Suzuki GB have organised a standing mile event
you can ride a Gen3 or your own bike for just £5 its on 26th April my birthday - but my bike is not ready
i guess this event will be mobbed. BARGAIN
Elvington York is an official top speed track - you can run 1.4 mile , but is limited to standing 1 mile on the day
Just need to make sure 2 piece leathers zip together with back protector
Suzuki and Bennetts announce Busa Bonanza

Respectable speeds regardless...Wind is plain STUPID right now guys!
Hopefully later today or in the morning conditions will improve. Had to shutdown after the Mile since it’s a new vehicle. Next run I’ll stay in it but wind isn’t going to produce any records. Cross our fingers for later.

@Got-Busa?
does the bike have aftermarket akrapovich with the extra 4 hp?

No, this is a completely stock bike. I wanted to baseline it before I added any mods.
I think people will be surprised once the wind drops how good the Gen-3 runs. It definitely feels more aerodynamic over my Gen-2. After 160-180+ is really where these bikes shine.
