Do you see the way the speedo sweeps, more like a tach, on the chase bike? The acceleration capability of the 'Busa is nothing less than startling.
The Hayabusa is the poster child for graduated motorcyle licencing. Any yahoo with $15KCDN can take one home, fire it up, and ride to 314km/h, getting there faster than many racing cars. At 160 km/h (100mph) the bike feels like it's going so slow you could hop off and walk along. I've never ridden anything so stable at speed. A twist of the wrist (even staying in top gear) and 200km/h is long gone. Crazy. I had a CBX years back that had huge modified racing brakes that were weak-kneed compared to the stock Suzuki ones. But, even with those binders, that bike should not be in the hands of most riders.
