On warming up your bike before riding.

[UHATEIT]

As a kid I always wanted a Pontiac Fiero GT. I liked that the word PONTIAC lit up in the rear and liked the glass side windows by the engine area. I didn't know how to drive a stick as of yet so my step-dad had to test drive it for me. I ended up with a Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo instead But always liked the styling of the Fiero, I saw a really nice blue one this mroning coming into work, I think he works at the MIDAS at Hampden/Tower since I always see it there. I eventually bought a Toyota MR2 widebody turbo which is basically the same type of styling as the Fiero.

what is all this talk about warming bikes up? Lets get back to the real topic!!!

^Couldn't afford a fast bike, bought a Busa instead.

haha yea its slow, mines even slower since I don't do like most busa owners and put a 300 tire 8 feet behind it and gator seats, but I like it.

^Couldn't afford a fast bike, bought a Busa instead.

Haha, yeah...
Buy a 1st generation Busa for $6k, throw $2k worth of mods on it, stomp on S1000RRs until the cows come home, and still have enough money left over to buy a second one before Aaron recoups the costs of his magnificent wonder of all motorcycle holiness . Although, in Aaron's case, all you need is a liter bike with some decent launch skills and you'll smoke him every time. You'll only need worry yourself if he gets an HP4, then he'll have the bike that does everything for him, he won't even have to ride it any more!

sounds like something needs to be settled at a track day. Line em up and see who posts the best lap.

I'm game, planning on doing several track days this season, I'd like to PMP, HPR, and IMI. Just have to get some tires first. IMI should be fun, I won't ever get out of first gear!

No PPIR?

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.

Trying to compile a list of the fastest (street legal) bikes in Colorado. Please feel free to add any valid bikes or let me know if I've posted some incorrect info as its soley based from Bandimere and Pueblo.

#1 Trevor Altman of Grand Lake, CO, Hayabusa 7.63 at 196 mph at Bandimere
#2 Mike Lukachy of Morrison, CO, Hayabusa 7.80 at 187 mph at Bandimere
#3 Ted Alegria of Bennett, CO Hayabusa 8.38 at 167 mph at Bandimere
#4 Jeremy (Servion Tuning) Pueblo, CO Hayabusa 8.60 at 163 mph at Pueblo
#5 Galen Altman, Arvada, CO Hayabusa 8.80 at 157 mph Bandimere

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.

well said Drano, plus I have a CSC sticker at home I could throw on it for another 75 bwhp. haha I love the 1000RR but not for the price. I could get a gen 1, stage 2 turbo and probably a few sets of gear and still be under the sticker price of a 1000RR

So..... Ummmm.... you guys going to make some good bets here? I think I would like to see some video of someone running around a mall in a chicken costume. That could be fun. Or faced to walk down the street in a thong. Lots of options for making this good.

[Drano]

I can probably do the chicken suit. Not having a bike kind of puts a damper on my ability to compete in any other category.

[The Black Knight]

FWIW, I have seen several videos of Hayabusa's at the track doing lap times. I rememeber watching Andrew Trevitt from Sport Rider flogging a busa at the track. Also only reason I mentioned taking it to the track is when I had my 2004 Busa I took it to PMI. It was my first time at the track and oddly enough it was on my Hayabusa. It wasn't easy to hustle the bike around the track but it was doable and fun.

Okay but you have to run up to people and yell quack quack mothafucka!



See how funny that would be? Dressed as a chicken? So epic.

dang it, that was the shortest grudge match in history

Haha, Aaron and I are pretty good friends off the forums, actually, and the Busa vs. S1000RR is a recurring theme, so we banter about it quite often. No real grudges, just a bit of fun.
