Elevation of this track is 4500 ft. The driver weighs 200 lbs

The driver of the Hayabusa said he'd loose traction or wheelie over if he left harder.

@Meadoway40 Both excellent machines in their own right, but its like comparing apples and oranges. I love bikes in general, there are some milestone machines that really stand out though. The Vmax is one of them, to me. Fastest? Nah. Best around corners? Hardly. Awesome riding experience? I think so. There is something about that bike...

The V-Max was a superb machine when it came out in 1984 but it is not fair to compare it to a modern Hyabusa. It is like comparing the V Max to a 1959 BSA Gold Star.

I know I checked it out I thought when I looked at the new in 09 and considering getting one that they were advertising almost 240 horse I swear I saw an add at like 235 but I looked it up like you 174 and your right a lot more weight so I retract My comment:)

@trickdad1977 for some reason I was thinking that the Vmax put out 200 hp. guess what? was just looking at the specs for it & it only puts out 174.

[starbuck680]

@trickdad1977 a new busa puts out 194hp & weighs 573lbs. the Vmax puts out 200hp & weighs 683lbs. that's a lot of weight for only an extra 6hp. not to mention the fact that the busa is more aerodynamic. still think the Vmax would beat it in a race? I think not

[starbuck680]

@trickdad1977 oh & about the 2 stroke VS. 4 stroke, I don't know about these days but in the past a 2 stroke dirt bike made more power than a 4 stroke.

[starbuck680]

@trickdad1977 no a new vmax can't beat a busa. talk all the shit you want, IT CAN'T!!!!

[trickdad1977]

@starbuck680 You really think the newest max wont take a busa??? I bet you still think 2 strokes are better than 4 strokes too!!!!!!

[starbuck680]

@trickdad1977 wtf are you smoking dude?

Brings back alot of memories, I had a red 1985 VMax, sold it 10 years later with 13,200 miles on the clock. Kerker exhaust and the V boost servo motor unpluged with secondaries wide open.
