Does that mean the Busa won?

They both look like intimidating machines, but a fuel injected turbo-busa... Would take a lot of mods to compete with that.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

West Cork Motorcycle Club's annual drag racing event from 2013 on the N71 at Halfway, Ballinhassig. This is the G class final (no restrictions) between Craig Mallabone on his Suzuki Hayabusa Turbo in the right hand lane and Ted Brady on Mel Nolan's Yamaha FJ Competition Bike. Ted gets the jump at the lights but Craig on his Turbo takes the win with an 8.93 seconds quarter mile pass.
