I would be scared shitless standing NEXT to that bike! 636whp?! I cannot imagine the feeling of a Busa coming up on you in 6th gear at ~200mph. I had my fair share of fun on my 600 getting up to 160+mph speeds.

I've been 160 once when I was younger and dumber and can't imagine going 100mph faster than that. Noooooo way.

636 at 35psi, but for the 256mph run they had it turned down to 24, which is around 480 at the wheel on a stock bottom end!!!

I'd want to ride it once to see what it's like, and if I survive, never get on it again. LOL.

No way possible is it stock bottom end.. I have my own 631whp Busa which I did 236.9 in the mile and trust me a stock Busa Bottom wont hold 600+ for 20 seconds of run time.. The Builder of that Bike Dave Owen was a good friend and passed away at Maxton just shortly after the video was taken..

Youre right, its not stock bottom. Carillo rods, JD pistons etc

By the way, any pics of your monster busa?

We'll never see someone like Dave Owens again. RIP.

Oh and it's not stock bottom end. They threw in rods and pistons for cheap insurance.
