well your an idiot..

and on topic.. i've seen a red hayabusa recently.. and frequently.. thought it unusual as i rarely ever see 1.. however prob just some guys new toy and is finding excuses to get more milk

YTF would they need a Hayabusa honestly! is that really necessary to give cops a bike that goes that fast they're just gonna kill themselves trying to catch the speeders that really dont want to be caught. it looks like a size of a small boat probably handles like one to. just take a few sharp corners and hide lol haha

I call horseshit. Very few bikes will out run a set up car on the twistys. Straight line is an entirely different kettle of fish. The "busa's" are good for about 300 plus kph with acceleration from hell.

Dont sweat it, Its only a temporary thing. I remember before most of you were born when bike cops were all the rage. As the pediatric ward of the local hospitals filled up with cop motorcyclists they began to dissapear till the only time you saw them were at official functions doing escort duty.

The current cash scrapped government is looking to garner as much revenue as they possibly can for the least amount of outlay.

A fat sports bike costs way less to put on the road than a car so they'll go that way till enough of them get hurt that compo claims start to outweigh the returns.

Can they ride, Bet your sweet arse they can, These guys live on their machines day in and day out. They get pretty damn good at it.

Half the braking distance and twice the acceleration I don't see a situation were you wouldn't get caught running from the cops if they're on a bike.

rode a shit bike?

Over a standard family car maybe maybe they brake better but not a modified vehicle with tricked out suspension and brakes.

And they have about 1/3 the cornering speed. they have no f**king rubber on the road to speak of. Go do some research.

The best super bike times cant get within a bulls roar of car times on a race track, even with their obvious power to weight advantage on the straights.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
