That's on the 1/4 though?
The time it takes to get up to 186mph when the limiter kicks in would be a different story compared to the H2.
Tricked out Hayabusa or stock - which one would you buy?

A “stock” production bike?

Stock bike comparison.
The Gen-3 has strong useable torque.
There’s been a few tests where the 3 dominates other than at the very top end.
Mine certainly feels easier and stronger low down than my Gen-2 or previous H2 SX

Irrelevant to me and a lot of folk. I don’t need pub bragging rights and I’m not out to set records. Prefer a genuine useable bike that suits the real world.

This is before the Gen-3 got Gen-2 cams, but with similar mods as a Gen-2 v Gen-3 tune.

I agree with that. Most folks don't understand that torque is what produces horspower.

I personally like a bike in stock/slighted modified form, these stretched and blinged out bikes aren't for me....but they are for someone and that could be you...I'm in the market for a used Hayabusa. There are some stock Gen 3's at dealers going for about $16K, then there is All Things Chrome in TN that sells tricked out Busa's like the one in the vid below.
This particular one is a 2020 with 10K miles, 360 fat tire, custom paint and "dripping in chrome" as the sales guy says. But it's $25K which is stupid high and is frankly out of my budget. And for sure, the bike's value would drop like a rock after a year or so. But I can't stop thinking about this bike.
They also have offered cheaper custom bikes in the past but they sell quickly.
Here's the part I'm wrestling with - I like the new Gen 3's styling and quick shifter (and cheaper used price) but bone stock bores me after a while. I'm captivated by the YouTube vids I see of custom Busas with fat tires all chromed out and All Things Chrome already has some for sale so I don't have to do the customizing myself.
Thoughts?

Did you get the bike you put the offer ?
The fat tire kit will kill the performance on speed and corners. It's just a show bike for cruising around slow.

Sprint Polyester Air Filter | Gen 2 Busa Information
Has anyone used the Sprint Air Filter that Brock sells? Any results? It's suppost to be better than BMC race filter, Pipercross and K&N.

I've always used K&N filters myself with zero issues...
Even met a K&N research team in Afghanistan who were testing filters in military vehicles.....never met any other filter researchers.

Hi. Mike Miller has done a lot of testing on filters and found a lot of dirt in air boxes with other filters and a lot less after ih replaces them with DNA filters. So on my bike for street use I will use the DNA filter on my turbo bike and other street bike that I have.
Yep, like I said, the air filter discussion is just like all the other ones on tires and the like, ask ten people get ten opinions....
I was impressed the K&N filters kept out the talcum powder like sand in Afghanistan....but that is extreme use and generally our bikes wouldn't be subjected to that...hopefully....

Your thoughts on this design? | General Bike Related Topics
I am in the process of rebuilding the busa and had my buddy Carlos do this art work. What do you like, what do you dislike? My tailsection and exhaust will be much different but this could be the basic color scheme and wheel combo. Just looking for opinons, ultimately I am going to do...
So to complete the circle I ended up getting a used 2022 White/blue Gen 3 with some tasteful extras - full M4 exhaust, Sprint air filter, Moore flashed ECU, T-rex frame sliders and Yoshimura tail tidy.
No fat tire, no added chrome, etc.
I had a great buying experience with Maali Motosports in Corona CA. The owner, Shahim, was great to work with, stayed in contact with me even after hours and even arranged the shipping to me here in Northern CA.
I got a much cheaper bike than the fat tire chromed out model I first looked at. And it has all the stuff I was going to add anyway if I'd bought a stocker.
I'm glad I did it!

Nice deal. When I lived in San Jose I found the last 06 LE at a SoCal dealer (I forget which one ) and flew down on an early morning flight and rode it back on hiway 1 and 101. The dealer comped my air ticket.
I had to fly when I bought my 79 CBX near Seattle. I trucked it back though and was glad I did. It rained hard every second of the trip.
