That depends on what you mean by the phrase "I want to up the overall speed".... You want a bigger top end, You want a quicker bottom end, or Your looking for the best of both? How much wrench turning you looking to do? How much $$$ are you willing to spend?(Coop25 @ Sep. 20 2007,03:02) i want to up the overall speed on a 07 busa what are the best mods
+1 If you up the gearing for top end you may not be happy with the power loss. Be careful.(big coop @ Sep. 20 2007,16:34) It,s there just twist right hand all the way to throttle stop.
With factory bike, you will not be able to pull a bigger sprocket anyway. You will need more power to up the top-speed in addition to sprockets.(stlbusarider @ Sep. 20 2007,10:47)+1 If you up the gearing for top end you may not be happy with the power loss.

I bet you could do it cheap with a 50 shot of NOS, but obviously, that is not always on tap. You run out of NOS quick and than you are crap out of luck. Not to mention has the bottle preassure dwindles, so does the HP.(Charlesbusa @ Sep. 20 2007,15:28) Sprockets aren't going to help much because the problem is air resistance.
Can't ride in a vacuum, so you have to bump up your HP.
More HP to overcome the resistance.
I believe the only common mods to get over 200mph is either a Turbo or a big bore. Neither are cheap.
Ya but...it's not like the stock bike is exactly sleepin'(USN05LE @ Sep. 21 2007,09) The first thing I would do is get rid of the bolt-ons and go to a full system, followed by a custom tune. You might be surprised at how much those two, things in conjunction w/your powercommander, can wake these bikes up.

I think you are right. The bike accelerates fast enough stock and you could put in some good gearing and it will pull wheelies all day long with just the throttle. (I loved feeling the front wheel come up under full acceleration with my 16/40 setup on a full exhaust system, PCII, and, filter.(smonroe86 @ Sep. 21 2007,08:39) people are crazy to wake more power, the only want more power i would have and its got 4 wheels!!!
Thats the first mods toward more hores power, and it takes more HP to go faster and the faster you go the more HP you have to have.(USN05LE @ Sep. 21 2007,09:29) The first thing I would do is get rid of the bolt-ons and go to a full system, followed by a custom tune.
