Don't forget the post I stuck up a while back on John O'haras runs over here. Stock motor, plus pipe and PCiii, but no air shifter or length. He's no lightweight either (85kg or so). Can't recall but close to mid 9sec, and repeated a few times. BUT, another half a second??? I doubt it unless you are a 50kg jockey. Mike McDonalds bike in the readers bike section of Aug RAPID has run a 9.4. But he weighs 60Kg and his bike is probably nearly another 60Kg lighter than a Busa.
Stock Busas running 150 to 160 mph over the 1/4 sounds very high too. Most seem to hit the mid 140s at the most.
Maybe I'm a bit a of a slacker in that I struggle to bust 10s, but each 10th of a sec takes a heap more power the quicker you go. I mean it might take a few Tyres would be a limit as well getting under 8 wouldn't they?
