Got-Busa?
Enthusiast
they both have less hp AND more weight then the new R1 or GSXR 1000 thats funny suzuki's liter bike is faster then their 1300 busa who made that choice??
busa will beat the gsxr1000 in top speed by 4 Mph but by that time the Gsxr would be so far ahead it wouldent not even matter.
R1 the Raven edition has 186Hp at only 379 pounds
Busa has 167Hp and weights 488 pounds
GRXR has 176Hp and weights 388 pounds
Where are you getting your numbers from because you are way off!
Yamaha's claims are with the effects of RAM-AIR factored in. And since you are claiming crank numbers for the R1, you may as well use crank numbers for the others. The RAVEN is no different than any other R1, it's only a color option and it's still rated at a BS 180HP which can be verifyed when put on any dyno.
FYI, the Busa is rated a 175HP without RAM-AIR factored in like Yamy...
The new liter bikes are all lighter than the Busa so I won't bother with all your quotes of DRY weight (No fuel, oil, coolant,etc..). The bikes won't even run at 388lbs...
The bikes are very close under 150 but with equal riders and everything else, the BUSA walks away from ALL at 150+. We'll see what happens when the ZX-14 comes out but it isn't looking good for the BUSA.
Maybe that will force Suzuki to get off there asses and do something with the unchanged 8-year old design. It's going to turn into another V-MAX if they don't step up.
