Great. That will give you plenty of time to get it fixed. They really are great to work with.

Hey Hawk, Burger, new owner of formerly BGB SS 1 is having some clutch slippage too.

I got with Larry at the Craft shop and he said he knows exactly what it is.

He said it was due to some OEM parts that could not handle the high pressure of the aftermarket clutch.

I will have him get with Larry.

If and when ever Burger decides to get it fixed, I might look for you.

A busa is a bad biotch! Sven, if you lose, you don't need to be riding that bike, and I will take it off your hands! :P What year is it, anyway?

I think it is a 01/02 it is modded with a pipe around 190 Hapees I guess. fastest bike in Vilseck is what I am hearing. After skull dragging this 750R he said you gotta race Sven so I am trying to see where I stand in theory with the king of crotch rockets. I tried to race a busa the other day it was a 03 and he would not play. I am guessing it takes balls to run that bike to the limit when a magizine posts a 9.8 it is with a poffessional drivr on a dragstrip. not on a the street with a rookie (not directed @ you Sven) actully i hear you can ride and your 125 lbs prolly helps. How I am reading it takes skill to run that bike this other guy was scarred.

It is a 99, completely unrestricted and very modified

intake , valves/vavle train, computer, exhaust, Z rated tires specifically made for the Busa's huge power, speed , spark plugs,. etc

If we go out to A-9 one morning and there is no traffic


I can zoom up past 200 MPH before you count to ten

The ram air makes the bike pull harder the faster you go,

and the bike's computer retunes the bike in motion to take advantage of more air.

about 190 horses 100 ft/p torque pushing about 540 pounds, so each horsepower is only pushing 2.5 pounds (around) of weight.

The speedo just flies around the dial. 5 and sixth gear feel like overdrive gears but the bike makes so much power it treats them like low gears


The motor does not really work and breathe until I get past 100 MPH, Then the computer makes the engine start sucking in that ram air.

I have been riding big bikes for 14 years now, and I have no problems going up with you, but only when the conditions are right.

I am not bragging or trying to prove anything...

The busa speaks for itself. A few years back on German TV They showed a Busa smoking a Helicopter and leaving it like it was standing still.

I will keep it in mind.

The busa is not meant for beginners, and it will not forgive you if you do not know what you are doing.

I did some riding with some World Superbike professionals back in the late 90's..

My learning curve shot up so much that anyone who rides one of these things and has no track time in my own opinion is just plain stupid.

Awesome Sven, make sure you guys have someone video this run. It will be one for the records! ;) I would love to have a bike one day. What size would you recommend for a beginner? 600?

One of my team leaders bought a brand new ZX12-R, and laid it down after only a few months of having it. What a waste. The damage was over $6000, but he was OK. :( That was way too much bike for him.

A93 south to regensburg is clear and pretty straight. So it is a rolling start that is bad for me. But it will be fun so I am not going 200MPH for long I get scarred car look like they are going backwards. Cant verfiy my top speed how accurate is you MPH.
