Hey Grumpz,

No its not a black Busa, its this one [DSCN7272.jpg

There are lots of street bikes run WSID , just for fun or curiosity as to what their bike and themselves are capeable of. I would think a strip time on a bike like a R1, Gixxer or Blade would have a lot to do with rider, just watching it looks damn hard to keep the front down!

It wasnt a street meet last night at WSID,it was National Open Comp with Nitro funny cars and Top fuellers doing a bit of testing.

A top website where you can lose hours if you like bikes is www.uponone.com. Some of the best bike clips I've seen,

Cheers, Caz.. :)

:D im in the hunter !!! not that close to wsid have been there, with mate that had a 400 chev in torana he likes the blades i like the gixers.

caz is that a black busa??? if is so yeah that thing is wild ( i dont want to go that crazy) i geuss im also just asking which one of these is easier to get parts/maintain and you were very happy with ( some one told me honda's find it hard sometimes to get parts?) hey it's good to see some of you guy's ride too :(:D yeah busa runs a hi 9 dont know excact figure but they are better to launch having a longer wheel base B)

G'Day GRUMPZ,

Are you looking for 1/4 Mile times ONLY?

I ride a 23+ year old Guzzi which goes 'better' than it should :D

Over the 1/4 Mile it's Soggy.

Out on the twisties it Surprises a few Modern bikes :(

Mind you I won't be going to Mount MEE or Mt GLORIOUS for a while.

Hey!! I can [maybe] ride better than the bike can handle...........sometimes :lol:

It's 23 and gets better each year, recently rode Port Hedland to Brisbane via the Adelaide Hills and Wineries Hic!! :D

mmm nice!! i like that color and cheers for the link caz :D i was talking about a busa owned by shane alletags whos cracked the 9 sec barrier on his turbo busa with a [email protected] which has run a 160.66mph these are very awesome bikes but a bit too crazy for me, imagine these things when on full boost faaarrkk. hey ive seen a busa with the bubble thats on the back removed and i think it made the bike look 100%better. any info that you think should be known before buying one of these bikes too would be good ie which you think pulls up better

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
