That's some pretty good driving too. I've seen higher trap speeds not get anywhere close to running 8's

 

Is it Ricky Gadsen? Team Kawasaki's hired gun?

 

Yep, that's him alright. I used to race bikes with him at Englishtown. He is unreal !!!

 

Wow..thanks for sharing!

Las Vegas get an A+++ for the track prep! It is always very sticky out here..

 

Thats some great PR. I have only seen him once but the body language and team leathers made me think it was him.

 

I'm thinking of getting one. ZX-14. 197 hp on a 500 lb bike wet (full tank). Fastest Production bike in the world. They call it the "busa" killer. All for a paltry 11k.

 

I bought a GSXR1000 when the new one came out last spring and rode it for about two months before I decided I was going to hang it up. I have ridden liters bikes and done track days and all of that for the past ten years and have ridden for 25, never thought I'd see the day when I would call it good.

That said, looks like good fun!

 

Damm that's fast! Alex could take him

 

I heard that the new Busa will be lighter and have more power. These bikes are incredible right off the showroom floor.

 

Thanks...and yes I could but only on the freeway!! Here is a video of a 187RWHP bike I raced at a 80mph roll-on...

Thanks for the compliment....

Red C5 would take him out in the quarter!!

 

The cameraman sounds like the guy from Fabspeed.

 

Wow, your car made that bike look like it was going in reverse...

 

Alex, (VR)
.
who is the guy in the car when the video first starts..?
.
i assume that the Kawasaki ZZ-R1200 was modded to 187RWHP because stock they are 145.2 hp.
.
ZX14 is: 177 rear wheel hp
ZX-10 is: 163.4 rear wheel hp
GSXR 1000 is: 162.1
busa: 156.1 (basically unchanged from 1999).
.
the ZX-14 and busa weight at least 85 lbs more than the gixxer 1000 and ZX -10... guess that's why my 1000 is faster to 150 than my busa..
.
9Eleven, .. i will probably purchase a ZX-14 until the the next generation busa makes it's appearance.. (about 1 year away).
.
i wouldn't want to race Alex over 150 for very long..
.
way fun..!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks for the great Info JR!!

He said that he had engine work, exhaust and a custom programm...after the race he said that he has NEVER been walked on by a car....Great guy with a great attitude!

I did race a busa on the freeway before and I had a harder time pulling the busa than the ZZ-R1200...must have been a modded busa or a happy dyno on the ZZR...either way both the bikes are awesome and very fast...Attachment 35570
