It's still really slow. The only reason it can do that is because it's so heavy it's not lifting the front wheel.

Heavy and mad torque . I watched a Boss Hog race a ZX1400 and it got smoked . A V8 on a motorcycle is crazy but a dangerous and fun crazy

It's hard to say at what speed the Y2K would top out at. But it's gonna be up there and pretty much impossible to test in real life, it would be too dangerous to take the bike to say the salt flats without having to heavily modify it. The old unrestricted Hayabusa was capable of 248 mph with 197 hp. The Y2k with similar proportions to a Hayabusa is pushing 320 hp.
So it should theoretically easily attain 250 mph. If you try to extrapolate out the theoretical top speed of a 320 hp motorcycle it would be somewhere in the 300 mph range.

The trike

Rays trike gets well past 200 at the drag strip but cross winds at those speeds makes things a bit squirrelly so he has never pushed it to test out max speed. It would be interesting to get it out on the Salt Flats with a professional driver and see what it will do. Have not been in touch for a while so who knows he may have done that by now.

"Wish my scooter could do this"??
Not me, give me a well designed bike that does everything well and not just straight line speed. Replacing large expensive tires because you smoked them is for young fanboys with mommy's credit card or the independently wealthy. I guess I'm kind of boring I use my bike for transportation not recreation...

If you try to extrapolate out the theoretical top speed of a 320 hp motorcycle it would be somewhere in the 300 mph range. The fastest reported tested speed I recall of an early, unrestricted stock Hayabusa was in Cycle World, @ 194 mph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Hayabusa#Performance_and_measurementsGiven the power required to overcome drag increases as the cube of velocity, your 197 hp 'Busa example would require about 2.1 times the power (~400 hp) to attain 248 mph. With "just" 320 hp, I doubt the Y2k would go much over about 230 mph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_%28physics%29#Power |
