I don't know, it seems traction might be an issue. That was climbing to 200 like my old zx9r climbed to 100.

they are on a whole different level. There’s a couple out there pushing 400hp. Theses jokers out nowadays are like nothing there ever was. 200whp is the norm for liter bikes now

It’s ridiculous how customizable Busas are. They’re on my bike bucket list for sure. I can only imagine how much money is in that engine to push 623hp

About 50k into the motor and parts. Top of the line everything .. Gen II GTX3584rs turbo

I think the GTR could’ve taken the hit and still been ran down.

This! Those runs weren't even close. :eek: The GTR could have gotten a 2+ second jump and still would have been left wondering what the hell happened. That was an absolute crushing! Godzilla crashes to the ground in defeat. (Still a beast in its own right!)

Way more than that if it's a a16x maxed out. Those turbos are the cheapest part of the build! Lol

Good runs either way! At that level it's more of a traction game than anything, sounded like you spun on one of the runs?

Oh my bad I thought you were asking about the busa .. the GTR was posted for sale a few days after this race for 140k

The bike racing the GTR striped the pavement at 1:07........so I'd definitely agree.

Edit - looks like it broke loose at 95-100 mph based in the second half of the video where the camera is focused on the bike’s speedo.

Dayum.

Reality check? It’s a friggen drag bike. Doubt anyone was surprised of the outcome. Like what have you accomplished by beating a car on a drag bike?

Lol that’s a street bike on a street tire racing a car that called out any and all opponents. I don’t think they expected a sub 2sec 60-130 bike to show up

Thats not a dragbike. Its fully streetable as you are seeing, not slammed and stretched and not running a Shinko on the back.
