Exactly.  The 12 only makes more *peak* HP.  Up until 9500, the Busa always makes more and it just smashes the 12 on torque:

   

The numerous worldwide head to head results still speak for themselves:

get the rpm's up, keep 'em up...kick busa ass...after i leave the line, my bike never drops below 9500rpm until i cross the finish line.

Guess you didn't read the worldwide 1/4 mile head to head results at http://myweb.cableone.net/toddshelton/testdata.html

did you?!        

Even Gadson couldn't beat the mag riders.

Yeah, I'd pretend I didn't know who he was either ...

If I owned a 12!

Bahahahahahah!!

15% is too high for a chain drive bike.  It's more like 10~12%.  Take a stock Busa as an example.  MSO rates crank HP at 173 SAE.  Avg dyno test is 155 SAE at the rear wheel.  That's a 10.4% loss.  If it was 15%, then a stock Busa would only avg about 147 RWHP.  Not many stockers have that low of SAE RWHP.

Also, you only can get about 4.5% added HP from ram-air at 190 mph.  At 90 mph, the added HP from ram-air is only about 1%.

Adding the ram-air additional HP is the new "advertising trend" these days.  Most people don't understand that the HP gained from ram-air is a squared function, so you have to be going 150+ mph to get any real noticeable benefits.

Take those Mickey Mouse ear mirrors off the 12 and you'd probably gain 5% better aero on the beeotch.

I really don't think Suzuki exaggerated about the Busa's HP rating.  Says right on the MSO (Manufacture's Statement of Origin ... like the "birth certificate") 173 SAE HP (at crank).  Hell, Motorcyclist mag measured 160+ RWHP on a bone stock Busa in 1999, so it was making what Suzuki claimed for sure.

Gotta watch out sometimes on the cycle mag 1/4 mile tests because a lot of them put a correction factor on their test results to account for high altitude and shitty air conditions during the runs.

Yes, I agree, Sport Rider magazine had some good articles on the benefits of Ram-air. I believe it was in '99 when they ran the articles. In the articles they stated that with a well designed Ram-air system, a bike could generate an additional 10-12 hp when running at it's top speed. As opposed to static measurements on a dyno.

In the article the Busa didn't generate pressures above ambient in the airbox, until it reached 145 mph. But the busa's ram-air ducts aren't sealed very well, you lose pressure, because of the poor seal between the airbox, and frame.

The best designs generated pressures above ambient in the airbox, by 70 mph. But the biggest gains were of course at high speeds.

I guess it's not too much of a surprise that the Kawi's performed very well. After all, motorcycles are kind of a sideline for them, their main business is building airplanes.

Doesn't much matter if they both receive the same correction.

Maybe you'll like this better:

Head to head
Same day
Same track
Same rider
Bikes interchanged between runs

Hayabusa best of multiple runs:

9.88 sec @ 143.88 mph

ZX-12 best of multiple runs:

9.92 sec @ 143.74 mph

All times NON corrected.

My buddy has both an 04 R-1 and a ZX10.
The R-1 made 155+ after being used on the track.

The ZX made a few less, but it had less than 2 miles when it hit the dyno. I'm expecting the ZX to have a few more ponies than the R-1 after a few miles.

The R-1 also has a PC3r.

140 is by far the lowest I've seen, most are around 150-155 from what I've heard. I know that at 95mph @ 10,000rpms (2nd gear) my 04 is starting to really pull and the front tire is about a foot off the ground and climbing....but I'm still just breaking it in so I've yet to really ring it out...

in any case, its a very fast bike.

I was off a little.

The R1 made 145 out of the box, 155.3 after break in, and 158.1 w/ pc3r.

The ZX made 146 out of the box.
