When 180 HP standard isn't enough

I'm pretty keen to have a go on most things, but that power curve is ridiculous, I wouldn't want to be on that bike as the turbo came on, regardless of what gear. There is still 150+ HP in the turbo lag.

Yep....there was a lad at Cook's awhile back on a stretched 'Busa putting out some silly BHP....and not even close to the bike in that link.

It was good for layin' down rubber, and not much else. The guy told me he couldn't even take it down Live Oak because of the switchback & grounding issues.

BUT....he seemed like he was enjoying it well enough, so fair play to him...we all get something different from our bikes. In his case, lots of attention...some of it unwanted.

Like mine, probably.
