Just received an interesting email through the BMW club E-mail subscription: Hayabusa Police bikes.

For those of you that don't know, a Hayabusa is a 300+ km/hr 1300cc Suzuki motorbike.

bike in your direction to detect speeding( no need for hand held

radar).

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.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
