Yes they can be scary especially if you are stupid one of my good friends died on a GSXR 750 back in May I was going to get a sport bike around that time but it has taken me a few months to get to where I can handle being on one. For a while his death scared me away from getting one but I realized that it is something that I have to do to get out of my system. This is going to end one of two ways one day I realize that I dont need it anymore and I am bored with it or two I will get hurt on it and sell it. Hopefully it will be the first scenario. I just want to have fun and get good mpg

I have fulllength akrapovic exhaust and a power commander. Could that guy just not drive or what? Figured he would be faster having a larger engine and all.

I used to own a GSX-R750 and I had a roommate that had an R6. Stock the best I could get out of the R6 was 10.9@123 MPH (not some magazine time, they are all adjusted), the best I could get out of my stock 750 was 10.5@135. I lowered it and got the time down to 10.3@133. Overall, they put a little over 20 more HP to the ground, so it really all comes down to the rider.

there is no doubt about just puting around amd learning. Riding the busa is incredible, one cannot imagine the power and speed that thing is made for.
