200+ miles an hour, and 8 second quarter mile times if you can ride.
I only have one question.
WHY???

why not?? A lot of these guys take it to their local track and run them. The one I just got done building is for an AMA Pro Street racer. He run's some really good times on it....
and if you think THAT haybusa was sick....check this one out
140mph, 4th gear and THEN the bike drops

If this had been available way back for my ex-wife, I'd be a ton of money ahead!

He makes it look so easy, I thought their speed was reduced to 185.

Crazy! What kills me (pardon the pun) is that 300HP. I had a 68 Dodge R/T when I was younger (much) with a 440 magnum and 375 HP. I thought THAT was fast. And just think the power of the Nascars at 800hp. Puts it into perspective when you put that kind of HP on 2 wheels!

And we all understand the reason that some people need big HP numbers. The cure according to my email inbox is much cheaper than a 300Hp bike.

oh ya they are QUITE expensive....
but fun and well worth it. getting to test ride them after a build gets exciting too
