Fireblade vs 182bhp Supersport R ?
Discussion
hi mate, im currently weighing up options to make mine a BEC. ive spoken to the best in the business and they recommend the 2008-2012 cbr 1000rr blade with billet sump and baffle plate. if yo want any info feel free to ask. i have a fair few contact numbers for people too if you need.
have a look on youtube at the ab performance sabre. ok its not a 7 but is the same powerplant and gearshift system.
ive just put an offer in on an engine as we speak!

Can't see why you would you waste your time building anything other than a Busa?
If your going to go to all the trouble involved with converting to a bike installation you would maybe save 20kg in weight and what about £1000 on the engine cost going 1ltr, that all pales into insignificance compared with the loss of performance a 1ltr would impart not the mention the rugged suitability of a Busa for a car install vrs any 1ltr bike motor then there is the whole world of tuning potential for the Busa etc.....

Depends on the chassis, obviously...
Live Axle + 1 litre is quite a bit lighter still. And can be a LOT lighter, even in road legal form.
And less likely to break bits of axle.
Some don't need a dry sump.
Not *that* much off in terms of bhp in recent bikes (although arguably older engines with more torque are friendlier).
Some race classes have limits of 1 litre.
The lower rpm of the gruntier engines can make it awkward to find the right CWP ratio.
It is a bit different.
More time above 10,000rpm
.
.
But not as "bomb proof" and not as tunable.

would you say the reliability of a busa would be comprable to the litre engines? ive herad so many horror stories of them blowing up. obviously installation could be a reason for this but are the billet sumps ok or is a dry sump absolutely necessary for spirited road use.with the possibility of a few hill climbs?
