Here is the same bike about a year later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHjpFIfqGZU The owner was on the SuperKaos forums and dumped a lot of money into it. The bike was even featured in a mainstream motorcycle magazine around 2004(can't remember which though). The last time I read about it on the SuperKaos forum years ago, it had a GPS verified top speed of 232mph.

It is regeared, but not necessarily by as much as you'd expect: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=IcKcCy7aodA (Different bike, but shows what's possible) They obviously anticipated people claiming the speedo was out due to regearing, so they attached 2 GPS units in addition to the stock speedo FlyinDoc fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Jan 17, 2009 |

The Hayabusa is so incredible because it keeps pulling, and pulling hard, when other bikes stop. 150? 160? Still got plenty to go. You're not sitting there going 151...152....153....

Forgive me while I whore some pictures I took of the SV last night. Just started riding her again, still a little rough around the edges from my buddy crashing it but she's on the mend. The weather has been real foggy and I did some running around at 2AM last night taking it in and snapping a few pics. Click here for the full 1024x768 image. Click here for the full 1024x768 image.

She cracked the mount about a year ago when she was first learning. The head got cracked a bit as well, so we figured it'd open up wide and the whole motor would be toast soon enough. Also, I was scared of having it welded there as I thought the heat might warp some internal components. So instead we jb welded it and applied more and more each time she wrecked and cracked it more. Finally after just more than a year it completely broke off. Getting the new motor in was hell because the frame was bent in just a bit on that motor mount. We ended up having to grind the motor mount spacer that's part of the frame a couple of cm to compensate for the bend.

Awesome pics...I don't want to derail here, but you should start a thread about stunting and what additional equipment you're using. I see you have a handbrake for the rear, I'd like to read about any other mods

I've been watching the 250cc Motogp races from last year, just watched Phillip Island. Aoyama had a disappointing race, with hilarious results: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZjGpQbuYRo Dropped out with 10 laps to go on a mechanical edit: hahaha just watched it again. Gets me every time.

Seriously, inolen, post an A/T style thread here so we can ask you about stunting without clogging up other threads.

A couple of pics from a recent trackday. Before anyone asks why my headlight and indicators aren't taped, the organisers sensibly only require glass to be taped, as plastic lenses naturally don't shatter in crashes. Brakelights and speedometers still get taped though, to prevent any silliness with copying others for braking points or looking at your speedo while on the track.

The 250's were way more entertaining than the premier class. I was rooting for Kallio though, he's hilarious in the post-race interviews.
