RE: Haybusa Chopper?
I like it, it's cool, but once again, what really makes those bikes worth so much money. I know it did not cost near that to build even with labor. He's smoking crack if he thinks that they will sell for that amount. the choppers outthere know are worth the money for what you get.

RE: Haybusa Chopper?
The Rice bikes mentioned will always beat the Boss Hoss no matter how much HP you can get from a 502 (and you can get a LOT!!!!).
You can easilyget more than 7/800hp out of that block without trying too hard. But your still faced with theproblem of getting all that HP to the ground without killing somebody in the process.
If the Boss Hoss was a sidewinder it would be a different story, but its not, and that becomes a serious issue. Sir Isaac Newton was no dummy and he said that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So assuming that you can get enough traction off the line so you don't just cook the tire and wheel down to the hub in the first 3/10's of a second. Theoutragious amounts of torque that size engineis capable of generatingis going to want to try to spin the block, along with the rest of the bike and rider around the crankshaft. If you have ever seenengines of a similar size and power twisting the hell out of a car chassis on the line. How much chance do you think there is thatany normal human being is going to be able to control it safely.
