Well today was the second time ive taken the new busa to the track since i bought it 2 weeks ago. I went to the local eigth mile track since i wont have my nhra lic. untill next weekend. The weather was decent, about 76deg, 8-10mph head wind, was a little humid side, but the track was hooking very good. The mods to date are lowered strapped, clutch mod, and just put on a shinko thats it, full tank of pump gas and tire psi was around 23-25psi and i weigh about 160 in street clothes. Didnt get to make alot of runs due to it being pretty packed but got three time trials and make it to the final 4 in elimnations. I averaged low 6.20s @ 119-121 with all 60fts in the 1.5s. Best pass was a 6.19 @ 121 with a 1.52 60ft- 4.17 330ft. I red lit on the final 4 and beat myself, just need to calm down a tad. All in all im very happy with the way this bike is performing with minmal seat time and no power mods. Cant wait til i get my parts in the next week or so, the brocks system is on back order so i have to wait very anxiously untill then. :thumbs up:

Great job man but be pre-pared when you put the Brocks system on there the bike really comes alive the loss of weight and gain in hp is amazing. Be prepaired to wheelie the first couple of times the 08 is great.

Aint it funny how when I get on my 08 busa all I can think is dreams do come true. I had a 1397 before I got the 08 and the smoothness and handling are the bomb on the 08.
