I know this guy and I've been on this bike, it makes a stock Busa look like a 125cc scooter (well maybe a 250cc scooter - we went for a ride and he blew my stock Busa away). If you can keep the front wheel on the ground and stop the back spinning, it'll go from a standing start to 240km/hr in about 7.5 secs; on a stock clutch (probably the only thing that's original). As for top end speed, it's unknown; he lost his nerve at 320km/hr. With the weight stripping it nearly has a 1:1 weight (I think that's wet) to HP ratio.
With the extra cooling fan and Muzzy aluminium fan blades it has no problem with heat, my stock Busa will overheat in Sydney "stop-start" traffic on a hot day.
This bike is not for the faint hearted, it's for someone with a terminal disease who wants to go out in a big way. As for price, I know it cost over $40,000.00 to put together; and he's not that interested in selling (wife on his back - won't take an offer less than $28, 500.00). If I had the dollars I'd buy it. Sure it's not "new", but it's kept in excellent condition and is one of the fastest naturally aspirated (makes it more reliable - any idiot can throw a Mr. Turbo kit on) bikes on the road; it's a beast alright.
