RW 200HP

[FalcoPerigri]

I thought that all new bikes came with 200 horses at the wheel... oh, sorry my mistake. Only the Vmax


pity the vmax weighs a 1000 kgs!!!!!!!!!!

Got 28kg off mine, and just a little more power and tourque than those busa thingos ;-)

OK, thanks to ALL... interesting comment Re; V MAX. I thought I liked it at first, but apart from the engine it's to me quite forgettable...eg riding position when going fast. fuel range and going in the twisties with all that WEIGHT/WAIT...also pipes look very fussy and daft...
To me, the Hayabusa has it all except come with a personal assistant, carbon copy of Halle Berry.

RE; 200RWHP, I am almost CERTAIN that what's there is plenty enough for me...as I'm not going drag racing with it or trying to break a speed record. So it comes down to a little bit of STYLE and loss of weight plus freeing the left side for chain maintenance. I Can't see a better deal out there than the Akra 4-1 full system right now...(Like AXE's)
However, I'll wait till the AUD climbs out of the toilet and back to around .93+USD

The vmax handles better than my old busa now that it is sorted. However you are right about the seating position at speed for any length of time, but there are very few places in Vic where you can get away with it now anyway. And I would like to keep my licence for a while yet.

So until you meet the first Vmax at the strip or the lights, here is a little something to prepare you for the outcome

OK, I can understand the Vmax worship out there, but if I thought it was better than the Hayabusa, I would have bought it. Not convinced by proper evidence, ie official time trials, that the Hayabusa is inferior either, but sure, go ahead... make a case for your vmax.
At one stage, I even thought of owning it, (cheque book ready too!) as well as the Rocket III as well as the Hayabusa altogether in my BIG garage. Finally decided they were tedious by comparison and not very attractive (pipes and radiators)...just my preference and no offence if anyone else likes them. I opted to go for a trip OS every year instead.
Actually, the Rocket made sense if I wanted to roll up to a Rock Concert once in a while.
The thing about the Hayabusa is that it does everything very very well, more so than the others in my opinion. However, whatever you ride, be it a vmax or a Postie, if you love it that's all that matters. I know I don't have to prove a thing at the lights against a vmax...I put a couple in my rear vision mirror on my M109 earlier this year! See, it's not about the machine, it's the person who operates it!
