    272 mph Hayabusa!

    A first generation turbo charged Hayabusa claimed fastest streetbike honors at Maxton. Beat the old record by 12 mph. They also did an unfaired run of 255mph, setting that record too. The cool thing is, for me anyway, the guy who did the head on this bike, did the head on my 1229 Kat.
    GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

      Probably not much more than stock. I had it up to 141 mph on the speedo, but ran out of road and who knows how accurate the speedo is. I think there was room left on the tach.
