Theirs are bigger than mine.
Anyone see a vid titled "Evolution of MOAB"? It's a turbo busa with nitrous and water injection. Last pass in that video it throws down 497.7 on 110 octane, 25 psi, untuned with slipping clutches. Then it says "32psi with C-16 and nitrous comming soon." Insane.

WOW, incredible sensation of acceleration and speed.
Just imagine cruising around 150mph and someone overtakes doing a wheelie... Amazing!
I'm just planning to start with a Yamaha TZR. Hayabusa? Maybe next year
p.s: the TZR is 50cc, 8 ps

A driver of one of the rocket powered land speed record cars commented once "I think I'm fast enough to realize something went wrong, but I'm not fast enough to do anything about it."
I think that applies in the case of these bikes.

Those things are crazy quick. A buddy and I worked the timing at the NASA Texas Mile event last year, and the fastest vehicle was one of several 'Busas entered: 210.1mph at the end of a one-mile run from a standing start!
Gotta tell you, when you're sitting 50' off to one side, a 210mph projectile goes by reeeeeal fast!

Wow! That was fun! I've been planning to get one of those used Ducatis tht go for $9K. Dont know much about superbikes, but what do you think is a good superbike to start with? Those Hayabusa Turbos are a little too crazy for me. Count me in the puss section for now.

Those turbo 'Busa's are insane! A bike capable of power wheelies at 150 mph would scare the crap out of me!!
I'm a member of a few sportbike boards, and asking this question in any of those will get you instantly flamed! Gord is absolutely right, if you are new to riding DO NOT start out with a superbike as it will get you into trouble in a hurry. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you're best bet is to start out with a smaller, less powerful bike and learn how to ride FIRST. I have a Suzuki SV650S, which IMO is an excellent starter bike - cheap, decent power, handles great, and, if you're inclined to, you can mod it to supersport-level performance fairly easily.

I started with a 600cc myself. It does make it a little harder to learn to ride, but it's still do-able. If you know how to drive a manual transmission car and have a good understanding of the concepts of riding, that's half the battle right there.
