a tunnel but once you get used to it you can handle it. plus its a heavy bike almost 5oo pounds but it has about 185 horsepower. when your tucked down with the mirrors adjusted right you can just look over and see everything. slowing down is much more uncomfortable than the speed to me

You cant imagine the amount of HP it takes to break the 200 mph limit. I would pay you a grand to see your car go 200 on the gun.

I had an R1 and a 929. Both topped out at 185-191. A busa will only break the 200 mark if it has a TRE installed. If you can tell me what that is, I will buy it commpletely.

Too late. It stands for Timing Retard Eliminator. A busa without it should cut off at 188 MPH. European off the showroom top out at 218MPH. Now, Lets also remeber that at speeds over 155 on any bike except for drags, the front of the bike is boucing and that can make the speedometer jump. If your bike reads 185MPH you are probably doing about 177-178. I am officailly raisning the BS flag on your ass.
