No...they wouldn't
As the Busa isn't marketed as a Sport bike, it's sport touring.
You're trying to put an apple in a race full of oranges
Watch a Busa vs 1k's on a track, plenty on Youtube, and they all show that the extra weight and wheelbase is minimal vs a 1k.
Lap times are are close enough to where it's whoever is riding the best that day.

Well they just might. GP bikes aren’t ‘marketed’ as super bikes either. They’re hardly similar. The old AMA and now WSB field bikes that are super bike class bikes, very similar to what can be bought in a showroom but not lighter, faster better handling, better braking and more aero GP bikes. While they’re not as nearly unlimited as F1 cars, GP bikes are considered to be the top tier motorcycle racing class and if Hayabusas were the better bike to base them on, they’d use them. Same goes for the IOM.

The Busa has too much power and weight. Yes, it can do amazing things but with just a little track prep it would eat tires in 1/2 a race and wear a good rider out (managing the power, not just the weight). You could easily have Buses hitting 230+ mph on straights then trying to bring 500 lbs to a speed that they can manage the turn at the end of the straight. Brakes would glow white-hot in just a couple of laps.

I think it's simpler to just start with something like a literbike that's simpler to race and much safer. If you see a Busa beating a literbike in a turn it's beating the rider, not the bike. On the other hand, the Busa will eat most things on the straight.

Yoshimura tried racing Busas (the X-1's) in endurance racing to some success and I think they had a Busa series in Japan.

Yoshimura Hayabusa X-1 - Heavy Bus

Well, what would you do in the off-season if you worked for Yoshimura R&D U.S. and found a Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa lying around? You'd ransack the candy store, that's what, especially if your pipeline to Yoshimura Japan was expectorating tasty chunks of Hayabusa Formula X racer. The Formula X...

Wow Busa series would be amazing! Gotta look that up. You know I keep hearing about people getting worn out by tossing around a heavy bike on the track. I never really experience that but seems some people do. I feel the same after a 2 days of 100+heat on the track tossing a Busa or a liter bike. Maybe it's my size that makes it not a issue. Many have complemented me before on the track about how I can do all day and not we wiped out on the Busa. Do any guys over 6 feet feel the same? Do you find it any easier at the track compared to the smaller guys after a day of racing?

I was surprised to learn that the kickazz Suzuki Pro Stock drag bike motors are based on a liter sized motor vs the Hayabusa‘s.

Personally, I like the stability and with counter-steering, I have never felt I was "wrestling a pig" as my track buddy called it. He rides a little Ducati 1100. I look like a bear on a tricycle on that thing. I was taking care of my chain at the track as I always do: I pick the back of the Busa up by the grab bar and rotate the wheel with my foot. A guy asked me "did you just pick up a 550 lb bike on one leg?" Haha. Oh to be young again!

You road race your Hayabusa? What series are you running in?

How is it faring against the competition?
 
I have watched several of his video's and although I think he does have good riding skills I think that he is obsessed with getting views, subscribers and likes. Obsessed to the point that I think we will see his name in an obituary within the next year or so. He clearly has Superman syndrome in that he thinks he won't die. He is reckless and puts the lives of everyone else on the road in danger. I mean if he wants to commit suicide then fine go ahead but I'm afraid that he will take someone else out in the process. I have never been one that wished for this on a rider but in his case I wish the State Police would track him down and use his video's to charge him accordingly. In his case it would be justified.
 
Out of all the crashes Ive seen watching Superbikes TT GP etc I dont think Ive ever seen a glove and a boot come off, closest was simoncelli whos helmet came off but he did have a ridiculous haircut. Still cant work out what this guy was trying to do surely not overtake the mini round the outside?

In Europe the Busa is marketed as a Hyperbike, no mention of touring !!

There are a ton of 'hooligans' posting on You Tube and they seem to all mirror one another in their crazy riding endeavors....

Someone said it earlier on one of the threads....."it's little wonder people hate motorcycles with these guys running all over the streets."

Personally I am very conscious of others when out on my bike...I never rip out of my neighborhood and never rip in someone else's neighborhood....if I decide to light it up somewhat, I go out to a deserted back road I know so well and get it out of my system....

...but that being said, there is nobody that cares how I ride my bike as I don't post to You Tube with a crazy death defying video....

I know, I post one of his videos on here at least monthly and have watched them all...he is the exception not the norm...

If you ask him, he has put a ton of work into his bike to do what it does.

In most videos its got Ohlins rear shock , decent tyres and Brembo brakes as well as a bit of weight reduction only in the later videos is it on Ohlins forks

Anthony now runs FGRT208 Ohlins fork , TTX36 Ohlins shock , standard M4 Brembo calipers with Brembo T-Drive rotors , Yoshi pipe , Dymag Wheels , and couple of other extra bits and pieces . He is in the top 10 percent of riders , so whatever he rides , he will kick ass .

He posts on here from time to time and had a good write up on what it took to get his bike to do what it does. He does a great job man-handling that bike around the track and that's a fact...

I've never had mine on a track but had a fairly short racing background in Canadian open superbike, it would be kind of interesting to see what it will do on a track just for my own knowledge.......
 
I take mine to the spot out in the cut, half mile straight at a dead end(where my old gen2 wheelie video was done).
I rip the highways when they're clear, which is often.
I did my stupid in traffic when I was young.
Last couple decades I got better.
I don't endanger anyone but myself anymore...and whomever is riding with me, and I guess those kids yelling out the car window for a wheelie as I cruise by at the Speed Limit...and the ones on the side of the road on their bicycles...oh and Work Release Prisoners picking up trash, them too, those guys Always signal for a wheelie(the guards always frown or look away)
So mainly just those people, I try not to endanger anyone else.

And, FWIY
My friend can wheelie for miles, do circles, etc
I'de rather have 10 of him in heavy traffic than one squid.
Anyone can crash at Any time...but control is control
Now, let me go practice before I get too rusty to back up my trash talk, lol.
I'll be back with 'safe' wheelies and general hooliganism soon enough...after everybody forgets
lmao
