My last car done 80-130 in 2.3, each 10mph increment was just over 0.4 secs and this car WILL be faster so the big boys are catchable for sure!
Amazing!!!
Andy, have you ever been in said scenario? I bet it's a right giggle if you have a superbike (or any Audi/BMW/Porsche lol) on your ***... Only for you to RAPIDLY! disappear into the distance 'bellowing', "Seeeee yaaaa!", Fast and Furious style.
I bet said bikers on the receiving end, end up doing this: "
", eh?

I wouldn't think 500bhp would worry a big bike too much but if they just expect to show up they can also be in the wrong gear and you could just fly past them as most bikes like you to pass them then they try to power down and show you there speed. So funny when they can't catch you
Yeah. That's why I ironised 'competitive'. In that you could prob surprise an unsuspecting superbiker, who wasn't fully 'dialled in' from the outset. I.e. it takes a lot more ***** to ride a big power bike fast, than it does a relatively easy, stable 4WD car, with 4 tyres and a stable base. And not all bikers would be so equipped to do so. (Same applies to car drivers too, of course.)
But I agree that, should he turn it on, he'll have you easily enough. Simple power to weight. A state of the art 900-1200cc big sportbike can have around 190+ now, don't they? And the most svelte typically weigh around c.175kg? That's around 1100bhp/ton!

And don't forget most big bikes aren't rode by british champions, once the boost goes down and the pot holes in the roads it takes big ***** for most bikers and I haven't seen one yet.

That makes me get all sweaty
(sorry for the imagery) -- their abilities are on a different planet when compared to your typical road biker..... But then riding like that on the QH would be suicide to all and sundry, anyway! Deep respect.

The first rule of building and racing anything at this level as a hobby is to accept there will always be someone with something faster!
It is by far the best way to retain your hobby, your business, home life and sanity !
The UGR 1500whp lambo runs 235mph in the mile....... and still gets his *** handed to handed to him lol.

either way WOW
I believe it's a GSXR1000 frame with a 1300 motor mounted, or a massively bored and stroked 1000 (but that would be a failure waiting to happen, as the cilinder walls are close together, and going from a 1300cc 4 cilinder to a 1300cc 1 cilinder would be very likely.)
"Its not a gsxr 1000, i was there with my gsxr 1000 turbo -03. And i have been driving this white bike. Its a suzuki Hayabusa 1300. But it got the fairings and fueltank from a gsxr 1000 01-02. It´s equipped with the mc-x 400kit. That produces 340hk @ rear wheel."
