Hey Malcolm maybe he should re-consider and cower back in a corner. The Bud
Busa bike just went 260.2886 mph at Maxton his morning. THIS is a STREET
LEGAL bike he rides to work. Stock bodywork etc etc. Hes only 38 mph slower
then the BUd Bike.
I brush the "warning" off the shoulder like bad dandruff.......

whatever....I am sure they will smoke us
considering many in the UK have been running
between 200 and 222 on pavement with numerous big hp
turbo hayabusas..............
they are currently OVER 20 mph slower than some of
our 20 yr old bikes with 1/3 less displacement.......
thanks for "warning" us...........
