200MPH or Bust
« on: December 19, 2008, 11:29:39 PM »
SuperStreetBike Mag - Cover Story - 200MPH or Bust
 
In short, the Mag guys take an 08 Busa and see if they can use every day bolt on parts to get it to 200mph. Full exhaust, PowerCommander, Quickshifter, K&N Filter, GaleSpeed Aluminum wheels, Beringer brake kit, TRE............................But just in case they could not make it with the average bolt on mods, a little puff of N2O was added.
 
N/A: 186HP
 
N2O: 211HP
 
Rider: 240lbs (Just Your Average Meat Eating Beer Swilling American)
 
Test Site: Southern California Honda Test Facility SEVEN mile oval and TWO mile straight!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
First N/A Run: 185.8 MPH
 
Several N/A Runs later the best mustered: 187.8MPH
 
First Run on Spray: 191.3MPH
Second Run on N2O: 193.4MPH
Best Run on N2O: 194.2MPH
 
Final conclusion: Dang, It's Not As Easy As People Say!!!!!!

Pretty sad they could not break 187 all motor and 194 on the juice, I am sure it was not Scott or Lee riding as they would have gone faster I am sure.

Pretty sad for the riders and team involved...even a stock 01 busa has gone 187 in the dirt with elevation of 2,500' and no juice...are the 08's that slow or just the people involved..240 pounds..?  Who in the heck was pilot..?

I don't think it needed better brakes it needed a better rider..

I think it was 211hp. Sound liKe they need a smaller rider, not only is the 240lbs a handicap but its probably not too aerodynamic. :-D

What wrong with 240 lbs?? I think of my love handles as aerodynamic side humps.

It was "Krystal, do these leathers make my butt look big?" :-D The expression on her face was pretty funny as well.

I still think of that moment  :-D  It is probably the funniest thing I have ever heard a guy say .... hahahahaha

Our stock 08' Busa went 206.64mph at Bonneville on the short course.... without NOS :)

Scott G said it best." Everyone who rides a Hayabusa secretly believes they can go 200 mph. Then they find out how hard it is." Amen! We all know every local bike night is full of Busa, GSXR and even Harley riders who have been over 200mph on the highway. Never been to a speed trial or race track and don't have a time slip but their GPS, speedo, seat of the pants or alcohol induced memory doesn't lie. Just ask, they'll tell you all about it. Good article SSB Mag. Merry Christmas!
