Nice shots, are some of those hayabusa turbos?? aka gsx 1400r

[mojo73]

Shot 3 is turbo'ed (and stretched).
A Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa which ran its first 8 second pass.
For the shots i used a Canon EOS350D and 75-300mm EF III (kit) lens.

there's a turbo busa in Maryland that ran a 6.99 :)

All those pics are perfect, except for #4. That one totally sucks.




Did I mention that I own two Hayabusas? :lol:

Great pics, and it's cool to see you guys down under ripping it up on the Busa.

excellent work. i didnt expect the shots to be like these. well done.

[mojo73]

Like what? :oops:

The Hayabusa is very popular at the strip here in AU. :cool:

These shot's were taken at the same venue, December 23rd 2006 using the same gear but Canon 18-55mm EF (kit) for the close up's.

Nice shots.
We only see one Busa here.

[mojo73]

We're lucky i guess?
Queensland has an ever growing motorcycling community, with the majority riding on the latest and greatest, taking them to the circuit or strip.

From Feb 17th shootout.

So nobody can suggest anything i should have/could have done to improve these shots eh?
Or are you all being nice and keeping quiet?
(Cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all...?)

Don't like the first one, it's background takes too much away from the bike/helmet. Like the pose but it looses everything with the background.

Rest are great!

My turbusa ran 6.64 at 211 at Rockingham with Rob Bush piloting it. My best run is 7.90 at 187. I am slow off the line.

[mojo73]

Oh and Steve, either way, thats movin'

Sweet pics! Great pics with the kit lens...Awesome bikes too!

In the first one, I find myself looking at the tree instead of the bike. Other than that, great shots.
