Im sure gearing plays a huge part....as well as weight, eventhough a Busa is a VERY heavy bike...its still a bike.

???? what? are you kidding? do you know how fast those bikes are? Stock they run like 9's or low 10's with a mediocre rider... the new zx10 and r1 run high9s low 10s, easily. I'm not doubting that supra is fast, but I find it hard to believe that in a perfect scenario most any car could beat one. Risk vs. reward ratio on a bike is a little different

Another thing to think about, most all the newer 600's out there have around 100rwhp....and run high 10's to low 11's, but mostly in the 10's, and they are all 599cc, minus the Kawasaki 636 Ninja which is a little bigger. SO, with that said at 100rwhp, think now about that 175rwhp being made by the 1300cc 4 banger that sits under u when ur on a Busa....it'll get it done and then some. Then there is all the insane aftermarket for them.....I can't imagine why anyone would really want to turbo or supercharge a Busa, and then there is the nitrous setups, unless its for the drag strip.
