Default Just bought a new bike........550HP!

Man I know it's a Busa, but I got such a good deal on it. This thing has 550 hp, turbo'd, maxed out motor, everything is go fast on this bike. Of course it is an x-dragbike as you can see. It won a lot of races. It was owned by a guy named Henson. The motor was totally rebuilt with no strip time on it before I bought it. I got this thing out on the road in front of my house and holy chit, will it burn rubber. Then I blasted it down the road and topped out about 220 mph.
This is a fun bike, and I am going to make it more street legal but still keep the hp! My 14 was just not fast enough anymore!
How do you like it!

Yep; turbo Busa's are deadly serious bikes! Congrats, Worlok! Just promise us you'll wear gear. Your sense of humor would be truly missed on this site.....OK?
Enjoy yourself, just not TOO much.

Yeah I was in shorts and flip flops when I took my practice run in front of the house! That is why I backed off of it at 220mph. I was just being a safe rider..........LOL

That has got to be one of the stupidest things I have every heard of... but then again if you ate it at 220 with gear, on the street, chances are you might not have made it anyway.

Its a deffinetly a sweet ride though.

Nice bike, but no fun at all on the road. Keep it reined it it's boring, let it off the leash, you die.

Lovely as a track or strip toy though.

Well I would rather be shot from a cannon as squeezed through a tube. If and when I die, it wont be in a rest home. I want to vaporize with my *** puckered up around my neck at hyper speed. If ya gotta go, it may as well be magnificent!
On the Busa, or the 14, wearing gear would probably only prolong certain death
