both seen before and both cool, still hate busas though..

Hi Ali, at least you posted something!!

I was begining to think is it cr@p, good, boring, waste of time.....

I'm not a big fan of them either, but for straight line speed they are pretty quick. The accelaration after the front wheel comes down at 140, is awesome. You can see that the guy is then able to give it full throttle once the wheel has come down.

I'm not convinced that the speedo reading is genuine, it's off the clock before it revs out... :d

The speed dial has a pin where the needle can go no further!

I think its real! It does have a Turbo bolted on it!

That has got to be bollox

Haven't watched the clips above (yet) but the DVD of Ghost Rider has him pulling a wheelie at about 200mph (apparently), and that's a turboed Hayabusa.

Having watched the rest of the "movie", I'd not be at all surprised if he has done it. He's insane. :D

Mr Leigh, why do you think its bollox?

Standard Hayabusa is good for around 180 / 190mph.
Does it not seem possible, one with a turbo bolted on would do 220mph?

Saw this on a bike site a while ago. I know nothing about these things but the opinion there was that the clip was faked.

Watch the speed at which the white lines on the road come towards you, particularly as he slows down & compare to speedo.....the junctions on the left don't seem to flash past either....

Mmm, does seem iffy.

I stand corrected! :)

That's exactly what I thought on seeing it - no way he is going that fast at the end - so speedo looks way off.

Yep just watched it and looks far too slow in terms of the white lines, especially at the end when the speedo is reading 100mph yet the white lines are hardly disappearing as though he has come right down to about 30 mph or so. Looks like its a recalibrated speedo if you ask me, set to massively over read.

Have to agree that its going no where near the speed shown. The turnings it passes should be a blur post 150Mph.

Id guess its doing 100 tops looking at the scenery.

Sorry for butting in but i beleive its real.
Have a look at: www.totalkaosperformance.com (http://www.totalkaosperformance.com) they can do a turbo conversion on a Busa, using a dual ball bearing turbo they can give you 430 BHP with 265 ib/ft of torque!!!!!!!!
Dyno graph nicked from above site:

RB5 I don't think anyone doubts what is possible to achieve with a Busa but we just don't believe the one in the video is doing the speed that is indicated, quite simply the white lines are disappearing far too slowly.

Exactly - I have seen other videos of a Turbo Busa going unbelievably quickly - and it looks like it too. So of course it is possible - it's just this one isnt.

Just what I ment :) It goes over 200mph like its going from 30 - 80! I do fully believe a Busa can do those top speeds after test riding a std one..

FWIW, The busa speedo was fake...he was running a incorrect speedo sensor
