700 Horsepower from Suzuki Hayabusa

March 11, 2005 Perhaps the most insane news we've posted on Gizmag this week comes from the inaugural DynoJet Horsepower Challenge held last weekend in Valdosta, Georgia, USA. Basically, DynoJet make motorcycle dynamometers and they provided a bunch oif them and anybody could roll up and the guy whose bike made the most horsepower won. The winning fellow was Hank Booth of Great Falls, Montana, whose highly modified 1999 Suzuki 1300GSXR Hayabusa motorcycle with an NLR turbocharger cranked out an incredible 701.32 horsepower.

Is that what they mean by "break neck speed"?

that bike in the pic is NOT the bike that did that. No freakin way. It had to be some bike that you see at the drag strip that is NOT street legal.

Do you know what 700hp would do to a normal bike?

That's the pic that was with the story. I would have thought it looked different too but not in a drag bike way though.
