busabeast Posted July 26, 2025 Author Share Posted July 26, 2025 That last video the bike was a tl1000 turbo running around 370bhp, if he'd have got off the line it would have been good to see a fast bike against a mental fast bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted July 27, 2025 Author Share Posted July 27, 2025 Just now, Marcel said: What im saying...is with a proper tire....quick shifter ..and with a tune...think it would be close to call...it would be all settle at the start..? Mine has a quick shifter and its got more power and it will be a fair chunk lighter, someone who can pin the busa from the lights without flipping or spinning up will wipe the floor with it, i dont think it would be as close as you think, and my starts whilst not lightening quick im still less than half a second behind my mates who have been doing it for a long time so its not all doom and gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 27, 2025 Share Posted July 27, 2025 Rich, as a tip for the videos, try uploading them to youtube as shorts, that way you can zoom in during the video. If the image is good you will not look so distant and will look a lot faster. I would prefer to go through some chains and clutches before adding a longer swing arm, better to learn properly before improving the bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that from now on, I didn't know that about shorts I was just thinking extended swingarm will counteract it wanting to flip at higher rpm launching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
