I just picked up my 2nd Hayabusa (also had an'01) last night. My intent is to get that sucker to 200 just so I can say I did it. My plan is to turbo it. My '01 was restricted but that was easily bypassed with a chip that made the bikes computer think it was always in 5th gear. The other benfit was the ignition timing is allowed full advance in 1st and 2nd gear. Can you say wheelie machine ? My question is, where can somebody go all out without resorting to Bonneville or El Mirage ? (besides the freeway) Oh, to stay on topic, I think the way I plan to do it is most economical in terms of safety because the Hayabusa is engineered for those speeds. BTW, breaking in a new 'Busa is a nightmare, it's no fun keeping the tach under 5000 for the first 500 mi, right when some real power is building...at least l'll be past 500 soon.
