Right right, I forgot that the original post wasn't just about hayabusas, my bad. Carry on!

Not turbo, but is super charged close enough?

Look at that tiny frame, would you trust that frame to hold that block and your ass at 150MPH?

How do you see where you're going? I'd be nervous having all those reciprocating parts so close to my head!

In case you haven't looked it up yet, or couldn't find it. That is a project bike of a Britt who's wife told him he couldn't buy another engine after he got rid of his monster truck shell. The bike weighs ~1000lbs and the engine is a blown mopar that runs on pure alcohol and makes somewhere in the range of 1000-1200hp. It's called the Rapom v8 if you want to look up more info.

I think we scared him off. We'll just have to wonder if he even owns such a bike.
