reaction .326
60 ft 2.140
1/8 7.328
1/4 10.886
MPH 143.125

This is my first bike, got it in april so my experience is very limited.
I know my 60 ft is not good. I have to improve my launch technic.
Track was very slippery, next time will be faster for sure.
(this is my best of three pass)
 
My first pass was a 11.483/122. My best pass was last Saturday 10.04/139. The bke is stock execpt I'm running a 16T front sprocket and the front end is strapped.

I also won the points race at Pacific Raceways the same day. Wohoo!
 
I havent ever raced a stock Busa, but I have a friend that just got one and weighs about 185. He has little experience drag racing bikes, but obviously has some balls cuz he is runnin 10.1's everytime with mid 1.7 sixty foots. Im runnin 8.8's in the quarter with my fat 205 pound a$$, but Im also stretched with some Nitrous and lotsa seat time. Good luck.
 
I started racing 2 years ago. My first pass on the track i ran a low 12. First time on the track and I thought that my boots was going to come off my feet. But know as you can see below, I've came along way....
 
Hey I never noticed that you're from iowa....sweeet where from?  I"m in Waterloo...maybe we can hit the track sometime this spring...will be my first time racing on a bike

Last Wednesday I got a chance to take my bone stock 05 Busa to Lebanon Valley, NY. Mind you I only got 251 miles seat time on the bike and the bike has a total of 3400 miles on it. Got 2 passes on it because the place was so packed. Both 60 footers sucked but here are the numbers:

1st: 10.84@133mph
2nd: 10.70@135mph
 
10-04-06 gainsville fl

2.3 60ft

7.4 1/8

11.08 1/4

131.58 mph
i need alot more pratice and keep the front down in 2nd gear
bone stock
 
My firts run and the bike was all stock, cans, filter, all stock and that was a 10.80
I just kept going and got right down to a flat 10.010
I had put a pipe on, PC, K'N filter all stock motor.
when I got down to the 10.0 zone

Now I have my 1397 and it's all a big learning curve, only just started going into the 9's@150mph
I have a long way to go.
just get to the track and pratice

My first time out on my 04 busa I went 10.66 in bone stock factory trim.

With an air shifter I went 10.20's because I was able to launch the bike better. I can never get my foot back on the peg to hit 2nd foot shifting if I start in a lay down launch position.

Then lowered 2" and extended 3", NLR 2-step and I went 9.91.

Then put on a Yosh RS3 full exhaust, PCIIIr and SLOWED DOWN back to 10 teens.

Now I'm going with a Big Bore Stroker with spray. Looking for high 8's.

I don't think that's all that bad since I'm 297 pounds!
 
My first 1/4 mile on the Busa it wasn't stock. 6 over and lowered with a muzzy full exhaust 15/42 gear and no pc. 9.98 @ 141mph. I had run it a few times @ my home town track (if you consider 2hrs away your home town track) which is an 1/8th mile. My first run in the 1/8th mile bone stock was 6.91 @ 112mph. Times have gotten alot better since then, now if I could only get this thing to hook on the big end I'd really run some good #'s.
 
first time was a 10.68 but now have a strap and pushing low low tens 10.1 10.2 getting 9 inches of stretch and air shifter with a hindle or swidewinder exhaust
 
Might try it this spring. My original bike Kawi 250 cc Mach III was quick in the 1/8, early 70's, the KZ 650 with Vance Hines 4 - 1 gave the 750 and 900 all they could handle in the 1/8 in '78 and was great off the line. I have to admit; I'm a little scared of the Busa. First run will probably be crap.
 
don't push it too hard on the first pass. Get use to how the track sticks and where you need to start slowing down.
 
Best so far, 1/8 6.05 at 123mph, 1/4 9.28 151mph, 17-45 gearing, 210lbs full gear, first pass was at Memphis, 10.23 at 139mph, avg., 60 foot is 1.45-1.51, 330 is 4.00-4.10, needs to better, bike pulls good from 7 on.
 
First run was 10.35, best so far is 9.97 @ 137, but I am 245 with full leathers, helmet, boots, etc...
