Cecil, Georgia - Arcane Motorsports/NLR , Hank Booth and operator Christer Johansson, all of Great Falls, Montana, traveled to Valdosta, Georgia this past weekend to spin the dyno scales just over 701 horsepower in the first Dynojet Horsepower Challenge. Booth modified a 1999 Suzuki 1300GSXR Hayabusa motorcycle to run methanol and a NLR turbocharger to compete in the inaugural Dynojet Horsepower Challenge. Booth and his operator also entered the second place winner, another Hayabusa pushing the scale to 606HP.

Outdoing, and outbuilding other engines that can produce extreme amounts of horsepower has become essentially a sport in itself. Booth joined mechanics, builders, and racers from across and above the nation in becoming 2005 Dynojet plate holders, recognizing their machines as the most powerful motorcycles on asphalt. Winners also received Dynatek motorcycle ignitions, SIDI boot certificates, MOTUL oil and protection chemicals, Vanson leather gloves, Wiseco pistons and product apparel.

The motorsports industry has typically used dynos to test horsepower. Dynojet Research, in LasVegas, NV is the worlds leading manufacturer of dynamometers and the sponsor of this competition. Applications for Dynojet products include automotive, motorcycle, snowmobile, as well as stand-alone engines and more.

Other winners in the Import Unlimited class with Booth included; RCC Turbo/Richard Peppler, of Ontario with 559.02 HP, and Glen Bertagnoli coming in with a 445.16. A note that all competitors were using the dominating Hayabusa powerplant as the framework for bikes.

Revving the scale in other classes were, Kent Stotz with 210.76 on the HRCA, Velocity turbo powered Honda in the Import V-Twin Cruiser Open class. Super Street Bike Magazine/ Don Smith squeezed a respectable 118.28HP out of the diminutive in comparison 600cc Suzuki.

The domestic bikes were represented by those from Harley Davidson. Kevin Kelly, Weston, FL brought in 247.67 in the V-twin Unlimited category followed immediately behind with Nick Trask, Phoenix, AZ generating 228.0HP. Brandon Rybicki brought his turbo-powered Harley V-Rod in at 191.74 with Harry Gunnusen directly behind him at 138.68 and Gary Salisbury led the older 89-95, Twin Cam class with 135.81

A Dyno, or Dynamometer is an instrument used to test and record the power of a rotating object. More precisely, the Dyno is used to test the power being applied to tires, or engine shafts of motors, be them steam, electric, nuclear, or more commonly, fossil fueled engines that power vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles. Dyno's register the power applied to its testing mechanism as Horsepower. One Horsepower became a standard of measurement for the power generated by mechanical means that would equal approximately one horse.

This year, AMA/Prostar and Dynojet agreed to hold the competition in Valdosta, at the site of the Buddy Gregg Bikeweek Nationals. This added feature was part of the first motorcycle drag racing competition in the AMA/Prostar
 
A sled motor should fire right up at -45 with methanol. HaHa
 
Actually those numbers are decieving my Busa makes 160 HP at the rear wheel and the new R-1 makes about the same. I was at the Yamaha shop and one of the guys tried to tell me 180 at the rear tire but when I told him what my Busa made I was like are you sure cause there not any faster and there a whole lot lighter. Most bikes loose about 15% from engine to wheel so 180 at engine would be close to the 155 mark about where it really is at the rear wheel. and the 06 RX1 150 HP at the engine so it would be very close to its motorcycle cousin.
 
Are you the world famous LB of sat tv fame ?
 
WOW!, i think thats where i recognize your name from?

were you part of the lounge.. im sure you know what im talking about

*remember saddle, or what is sattle?*
 
While testing our racecar in Bradenton FL last week, a bike magazine was there doing an article called "Crates to Eights in 8 Hours" (or something like that).
They took a 'Busa out of a crate and started bolting on stuff until it went into the 8's in the 1/4.
They had a dyno right in thier trailer so each mod was dyno tested.
I didn't have much time to look at what they were doing but last run I saw was an 8.90 something when they ran it with nitrous (6th or 7th hour I think). The rider was very easy on the bike. It could have gone much quicker with a more agressive run.
They had various other bikes there but never ran them.
Once the testing was done.. some dude bought the Busa and took it home.
I talked to one of the engineer guys there for a bit about the RX1's.. gave me some things to try.

As for LB and the BS stuff.. interesting thing that was.. NOP NOP NOP NOP... :)
