08 Hayabusa World Press Introduction

[Gnarbunkle99]

Revit, 1363 has 2mm extra meat between the cylinders as compard to a 1398 which has bugger all metal left between the cylinders (84mm pistons and 61mm stroke=1398). With 2mm longer crank throw(new Busa crank fitted) that takes the old 1363 out to about 1408cc.

I had to leave at 1500 rpm, wait for the clutch to engage like a switch, then screw the gas on slowly to modulate the front wheel height through the lower gears. Combine this with stock ride height, no strap, and only two passes or so each on hot clutches, and well you can see why I had a slight smile.

Personally, as I rode the bike, I felt like it was actually detuned and begging for aftermarket enhancements.
