slownrusty Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Thought I would share this with you guys and gals. I have watched this video about half a dozen times and I am hooked. I have never seen a speedometer needle move faster than a tach needle ever before. I would love to have this bike, but would probably be dead after a few hours of ownership.

SleeperZ Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I've watched that a number of times now - amazing! One thing I finally picked up on is the speedo is in kph, not mph. I thought this dude was pulling 200 mph+, but it's only going 180mph tops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Star 1 Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 ONLY 180MPH !!!! Hmmm I must be realy old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Kilometers are great! Makes you feel real fast. My 280 reads in KPH....watching how fast it hits 200 is cool... though my speedo doesn't quite move as fast as that bikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_H Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Nathan, Take a real close look at about 60-70 on the outside scale. The inside scale goes into triple digits, so it is MPH on the outside and he was hitting 180. The acceleration from 140mph when he goes from 6 lbs to 17 lbs was unbelievable. Wow. Maybe my RB swaped Z can do that.... Uh yea. right. -Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Yep, that's why I can't ride one! I know I would probably wrap it... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thurem Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 When I was a kid in the 70'ties, I remember guys on KZ1000's they were gods, they were my heroes, they did that with only about 80 rearwheel hp. Today I own a CBR929 rr with about 127 rwhp, hey, it's a nice bike it'll do what I want when I like it to. I have also testridden a Busa (mostly stock) nice bike easy to ride, very controllable and comfy. A Busa weighs about 550# add a 200# rider and you have a 750# vehicle, stock they put out aroud 160 rwhp and makes for an impressive ride. But this one in the movie should put out around 350 to 400 rwhp and thats just sick, orbit is not an option, it just happens. Ohh, near stock Busas will break chains when dragraced. Try dropping the hammer on a T.Busa at a cool 100 and have the chain break AUCH... Enough rambling Thure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thurem Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 I just noticed, this guy was doing 120 at 5krpm, with a 9K redline this beast is geared for 219MPH. Hang on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a KZ1300 in the garage right now. Six cylinders and 130 smoooooth horsepower on tap. Too bad the thing weighs around 700 lbs!

Mikelly Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 My 98 ZX9R weighs in at a svelt 402 pounds and Runs the 1/4 in the 9s at well over 140... Previous owner would bounce the front wheel and do wheelies at over 100mph. I've personally weighted the gas tank and blown off the rear tire in a smokey burn out down the length of the front straight at Jefferson Circuit at Summit point at speeds well over 70mph... It is pulling well over 130HP and is SCARY fast to ride...and is MUCH slower than the newest crop of bad boy bikes. I've tapped 150 on it in 6th gear and had 3-4KRPMs of headroom left in her. The newer bikes like this Busa can hit well over 200MPH with minimal tweeks. Takes LOTS of disciplin NOT to go to Jail or the morgue!

Arif Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Is there any way to save that video to my computer? That bike is insane. On the last video I think he did a wheely at over 100 mph as you see nothing but the sky for a second or two!! Crazy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
