Fz6 vs Hayabusa

[reiobard]

so 154 isn't fast enough? that alone would scare the poop out of me...

 

[Epic Ed]

My big problem is an inability to do 0-60 in anything more than the quickest I can get out of my bike. I like the acceleration...
Either way, be safe.

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. It's hard not to grin as I quickly bob around the slow moving vehicles on my commute.

You just need more power

If you want the FZ6 to go faster, you just need more power. Look into a forced induction system or maybe just a simple nitrous oxide injection system (especially since you only need the extra power when you're going for a higher top speed.)

You can also remove your mirrors and do some other simple aero tweaks if you're searching for a few mph here and there.

Or you could just ride your Busa....

If in fact you do need more top end then 154mph (which I highly doubt) on your fz then this is my mod suggestion. Look closely, it's there in the middle section of the bike.

or perhaps you want to switch to a honda. . . for safety reasons

I've been looking for that dual seat for the FZ with no luck. Where did you get it?

Hayabusa has to be that fast so no one can see how FUGLY it is!

Its an FZ1. (sarcasm. . . )

Does anyone know what that cool-looking Japanese lettering on the front of the 'Busa says? That's the only thing I like about the look of it. What does that name mean, too?

Just goes to show how gullable I am. I believe anything. I thought the pipe was an after market one, too.

... and if he's doing this on the street, don't forget to sign your organ donor card... I might need a kidney or lung one day.:spank:

There is a race way right behind my house, the stretch isn't long enough to top the bike out but I can start behind the wall with the doors open. The owner is my next door neighbor, also 210 on a Busa is a lot smoother then you think. The bike after all is built for speed, also the Hayabusa I have isn't stock. I do have the stabilizer installed, but yeah I don't think id ever go that fast again.

That being said, I bet the Busa has acceleration in spades. On that it might be more like 0-100 and then let off the throttle.

Either way, be safe.

If it gives you any idea, the bike was still pushing up at 180.

Anyone around Ephrata area that goes to the first Sunday of the month bike meet? Ill have the Hayabusa up at the track, unless someone from here will be up there on the Fz. Last month was the first meet, that was a huge turn out ( it rained). With the nice weather expected for tomorrow I can only imagen the turn out.
