Mick Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Can't help but think it gets a bit like moped owners racing each other 30 31 or even 32!! It was never about ultimate speed for me, plus so many american YouTube's have such irritating accents.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaS Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I still think these clowns jumped to wrong conclusions, just think about quarter mile acceleration, is that MV going to hit low 9s , i dont think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark3evo Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Yes but you Would hope the Gen3 midrange grunt would have stomped that must be a weight and gearing thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Racing up to sub 100mph speeds is pretty pointless on the Hayabusa..... Plus in a 'pick 'X' gear roll on race, with the gearing differences for 6th, the MV would be closer to peak torque, while the Hayabusa was still below it. Then we switch to a 3rd gear pull and the MV would be over peak torque and coming up toward peak power, while the Hayabusa managed to get through peak torque and maybe up to near 8,000rpm-ish. Knowing what mine is like, it doesn't start getting really fun til into 8k. The Hayabusa is definitely not an all-conquering machine, without any faults or weaknesses, but these divs are just setting it up to look stupid. Lighter bike, lighter rider, shorter gearing..... you'll more than offset the 40ish HP difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark3evo Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 @MikaS that must be one piss weak Gen2 no way does Gen1 1299cc match 1340cc torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Busa? Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Sprite is 30kilos heavier and not know as a great rider. Not to mention they don't show what mode he's in. Probably racing in B or C mode because he's scared of big bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
