Check this monster out. I bet it needs a parachute to stop. If they ever enter production I want one!

It's pretty nice. But they still can't mess with them Americans.

Kinda cool, though with that kind of power naked won't get it, a fairing will be a must.

I love the Dodge V-10 but the cost of $500,000 sorta rules it out of my budget for this month anyway. The likelyhood of it ever seeing the light of day as a production machine is firmly planted between slim and none.

The Suzuki, on the other hand, could show up any day at your dealer. After all, who would have thought 30 years ago that Suzuki would ever make the Hayabusa?

It still amazes me that roughly $11,000 will buy you a vehicle that will basically out perform every two and four wheel production vehicle on the planet.

I think that bike looks awsome with the fat tire and all. Not sure why anyone would want 245 hp on a bike that was not a track only dragster or something like that though. There are already lots of guys who have blowers on sport bikes that are way too fast already. Sadly my guess is that many of those guys will end up as organ donors.

I have an 06 Vmax and it's between 120-140 HP depending on which article you read.

I don't want 200 HP on a bike under 600 pounds.

You can think that Road Glider. But you shouldn't say it. I think speed is like sex. You just always want more.

True. Problem is at the relatively low price of entry a guy can get a rocket ship sport bike. Too often it is in the hands of someone too young and all too eager to take it to the max or see what it will do. I mean you have near 200 mph capable bikes out there now no telling what this monster of a rocket ship would do. Almost like putting a loaded gun out on the coffee table with toddlers in the room. But guess each person has free will just hate to see folks get hurt is all. I can tell you when I was a kid I took my Dad's 850 Moto Guzzi out to see what it would do, glad I didn't have access to one of these bikes, might not still be here to write this. So I was not different then these guys now days. Just back then the bikes were not as quick or as powerful as they are today.

Is it just me or does that headlight assembly look a lot like a full face helmet?
