278.6mph Worlds Fastest Turbo Charged Hayabusa Streetbike

[Hydrant]

I like the 6th gear shift at 250mph.

At the Texas Mile, October 2010, Bill Warner of Wild Bros Racing goes 278.6 mph in a standing start mile, on a 650rwhp turbo charged Suzuki Hayabusa Streetbike. On board video taken facing rearward using an AiM Sports SmartyCam with in-video display of GPS speed. (sample rate of the in camera GPS does not allow recording of the top speed that was set in the timing traps)

Looks like they need to extend the road. LOL

That is just so amazing. I want to try for 200 at Loring this coming year. I know what it takes machine wise. I have the machine. What I don't know is, do I have the skill and resolve to do it.
I can not imagine what is it feels like get within a mile or so an hour of 280 mph. that is over 4.5 miles a minute.
I bow to you Mr. Warner

I totally respect the skill it takes to build and pilot a machine that fast... but the only way I'm ever going to go that fast is in something with multiple windows and the name of a major airline down the side. :lol:

That bike is begging for a trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats!

10 miles of groomed salt, waiting. He could get that thing up to 280+/- and hold it for about 2 minutes if he's got the cajones.

I ran my Busa up to 170 once, and wow. I can't imagine tacking on another 110 over that, but I'd sure like to try! :rockwoot:

[derf]

Dayummmm. Fastest Ive done is closer to 150 and I cant imagine going faster than that,

[pauldun170]

squid...
He should get a 600 and hit the twisties

[z06boy]

That's awesome !! I can't imagine going that fast on two wheels. It's actually hard to imagine it on 4. :lol

Kudos to him.

Rick...good luck at Loring. Maybe...just maybe I can make a trip up and go with you. :rockout:

[Dnyce]

:dribble::dribble: fuckin WOW

[Riceaholic]

sick!

[KSGregman]

DAMN!!!!

That thing had some wicked serious thump....280...unbelievable. :rockwoot:

[Particle Man]

Holy crap.

[Gas Man]

Yeah I've been over 165 on the highway... use to wrap the 9R over 180 indicated all the time. I can't imagine 100 over that.

Ok just cause I can't imagine just means I want to try. Let's go!

[Hydrant]

I wonder if he had say like a 3-4 mile straight, how fast do you think he could get it to go? The busa sounded like it wasn't exactly wound out, too bad there wasn't a tach to look at.

:lol: Yep pretty much the same here on my 98 9R and my 93 ZX-11. I've only had the Vette up to an indicated 150 a few times and the R1 indicated 155. I guess I've slowed down a little in my old age :rofl:...can't afford to lose my license. :lol:

Now somewhere like this that you don't have to worry about your license and most likely nothing running out in front of you....Katie bar the door !!! :rockwoot:

Of course in the back of my mind I'd be praying for no mechanical or tire malfuntions...and don't even get me thinking about a tank slapper. :lol
