In the regular conversations Aaron and I have had regarding the Hayabusa vs. S1000RR, lap times have never been a topic. The obvious point being that, on a track, the Hayabusa is out of its element. The discussion has always been regarding 1/4 mile times. Understandably, the S1000RR is recorded as the faster bike, with the stipulation being that both bikes are stock. What is commonly disregarded by Aaron is the fact that the Hayabusa is one of the most heavily modded bikes on the planet, and still reigns supreme at the drag strip.

Aaron doesn't like that, because there's little he can do, without dropping a lot of money, to make his bike go faster in a straight line, and it still won't be faster than a Busa. On a track it's a no-brainer, and even I would give the advantage to the S1000RR with a competent rider, unless, of course, it's up against a Panigale, RSV4, RC8 R, or ZX-10R, then it's anybody's game to win.
