Extreme record motorcycle is for sale

A motorcycle with 650 hp? That’s right: Mick Ellis from BDR Performance Engineering has put such a Suzuki Hayabusa on the wheels, which is now for sale.

UOriginally, the Suzuki Hayabusa presented here was built to break the land speed record. To address this goal, Mick Ellis from BDR Performance Engineering made a lot of modifications to the Japanese power bike. After the adjustments, the now turbo-charged Hayabusa brings a whopping 650 PS to the data sheet. According to Ellis, it took two years for all the renovation work. But the result is impressive. In a record attempt, in which Mick’s wife Becci took the wheel, the converted Suzuki power bike achieved a top speed of an enormous 425 km / h. This made Becci the fastest woman on a motorcycle in August 2014. It beat the previous record by a whopping 32 km / h.

Garrett’s GT35 provides a leap in performance

Mick Ellis decided to use a first-generation Hayabusa as the base model. In order to achieve the enormous increase in performance, the engine was upgraded with a turbo module from the manufacturer Garrett. The bike was filled with 119 octane fuel for the record attempt. Otherwise, the customizer from England had to replace almost every component, such as the oil filter, piston and cylinder heads, fuel pump, cooler, gearbox or exhaust system, or make major adjustments in order to get the Hayabusa, which in its original version developed 175 HP, to 650 HP . The frame was taken from the original Hayabusa. For adjustments to the steering geometry, Ellis got support from John Warrington Motorcycles.

The converted Hayabusa put 425 km / h on the speedometer.

On the other hand, some components such as the wheels or the rear brakes were taken from the original. The slightly modified fork also comes from the original Hayabusa. The swing arm has been lengthened by almost ten centimeters compared to the original. Accordingly, some other components such as the chain had to be replaced with components from the drag racing range. In addition, the British customizer opted for new brake elements from PFM Performance at the front. The seat, the rear and the front paneling also had to be modified. Incidentally, all adjustments were made in Mick Ellis’ garage at home in Scunthorpe (England).

Power-Bike is looking for a new owner

Of course, the 650 hp Hayabusa was not designed for everyday use on the road. According to the owners, the primary area of ​​application of the power bike is in “land speed racing”. There is now good news for everyone who would like to have this bike in their own garage. The converted Hayabusa is currently for sale by its owners. Mick and Becci would like to have 30,000 British pounds, which is the equivalent of around 33,000 euros, for the drag racer. Interested parties can contact the owners on Facebook.

Conclusion

Anyone who has always wanted to own an extremely powerful two-wheeler now has what is probably the unique opportunity to do so. Not surprisingly, the 650-hp Hayabusa is not a cheap pleasure.
