So that means you have one of two years. Every other year was nuetered to 300kmh.

for .45 cents at radio shack you buy a little resistor (75,000 ohm) if I recall correctly, solder it in your gear pos. sensor wire, or go to ebay and buy a plug and play model. and that little problem is solved. or just buy a 1000 punch it out to 1070 cc's add nitrous and some cam's lower it and play with the overweight 1200 cc + bikes thats what I did. after having 2 hayabusas ( both 1999 non nutered) models. I even put 600 cc stickers on it and take her to the local dragstrip and play with the kids sometimes. ETA: pics below

before 600 stickers

Yes, no, and not really.

First, you can put the resistor pack in. However, if you are really running at top speed, it is not good. By putting in the resistor it fools the ECU into think that the bike is on 5th gear and not 6th. The ECU adds extra fuel based upon pressure from the ram air system. This will make the bike run slightly lean up top dropping power. Or, you can add extra fuel up top getting the bike to run rich in all gears. Really, 186mph or 194 (or 189 or 192 or any number you wish to believe that an unrestricted busa Busa was tested at stock) is acedemic. In fact, where bike can drive fast (Autobahns) I have seem then normally under 160-170kmh and get passed by cars. It just not comfortable to drive that fast for long.

As far as a 1000 with nitrous, big bore, cams, etc. Yes they are fast and can beat a hayabusa. I had an original GSXR11 (the 400lb one) that had all that stuff done too it. It would kill a hayabusa. I was using 4 22hp jets (so +88hp). The advantage that a hayabusa will always when drag racing and straight line have is 1) displacement 2) wheelbase 3) Aerodynamics. A short wheelbase roadrace bike wants to wheelie. If you wheelie, you can't get all the power down. There is a reason why my GSXR11 had an 8 inch over swingarm. Nitrous is not limited to a 1000. Neither are cams or overbores. I am sure you don't want to tangle with a busa that is sprayed or turbo'ed??

My biggest problem with drag racing is when I was running the GSXR11 I was scrawny. I weighed in at 135lbs soaking wet. Age has caught up to me now and another 30lbs. 30lbs hurts on a strip..and a wife that says its too dangerous. I was barred from motorcycle racing after wrecking my RS125 very nicely at Mead. Now I am just lucky to be allowed to have a bike that sits in the garage.

traction and the front end coming up is why if you look at the pics, mine is lowered, strapped. and also geared for the 1/4. that mixed with my 18 years drag racing bikes, and the lack of years of riding and of racing the average person at the local drag strip has (which makes up for alot of h.p.) calculates to me winning 99% of the time. p.s the power commander will fix the lean out resistor the causes, and taller gearing will make it have better top speed, (at the sacrifice of off the line acceleration of course).

Did you run at bandimere much in the eraly mid 90s?

If so, you may have remembered a blue/white GSXR1100 that all the people were awed by. It was a large guy that ran it and it had wheelie bars. That was one of the quickest bikes running out there for a while. That guy wouldn't run my GSXR on the street (oooppps stereo type) he would only run with wheelie bars.

You may have seen my GSXR if you raced there much. It was a black/red '87 1100. I then had it painted red/white/blue. I normally ran it with half the fairings off.

My philosphy always was drive the bike there, run, and drive home. I didn't strap it. The front was lowered some, but I ran the bike on the strip exactly how I ran it on the street..

I'm unlikely to be found on any group ride, Phloater and i are in the same sportbike club and have been for several years. I have yet to go on a group ride with anyone from the club.

I've been on 1 group ride and honestly i didn't like it. Too many people were around that i didn't know their riding style.

If i'm riding with someone, i want to know how they're going to react.

Oh, and i do take offense to the "typical sport bike rider" comments. Especially if they're coming from someone who rides a bar hopper...

But every real motorcyclist out their knows, it's the cagers that are the true danger.

I have a friend who won't ride, but because she knows me and through what I've told her she now keeps an eye out for all motorcyclists (every driver should do this regardless)

She makes note that the majority of the idiots out there on motorcycles that she seen are riding crotch rockets and are younger men.

It pisses her off to see idots weaving in and out of traffic and doing all sorts of stupid crap.

This was told to me unsolicited.
