[Shotimes] FW: 100 to 180 MPH in ~3 secs

[Marc Randolph]

These boys are down in Florida. With all those long, flat and boring
straight roads, you may as well have 250HP and have a bit of fun. The Busa
is good for 190 in its first year stock trim. I've seen a turbo Bandit and
it's too scary to ride. 140HP is good enough for me on a 500 lb machine.
Turbo Busas, even with his extended rear tire, are insane but there's always
someone that wants more power.
