During our photo shoot, Eric's buddy Barry Doyle brought out his Hyabusa, and it is downright scary. Just looking at the stretched frame and hearing the worked motor would put the fear of God in most competitors. The nitrous system is the icing on the cake. This bike sure wasn't meant to be just a cruiser. With the bottle activated it runs 8.30s, and 8.80s are the norm off the jug. Eric and Barry have matched up against each other on late nights, and let's just say the bike had nothing for the Stang. The green machine pulled clean past the lightweight rocket. All runs were made from a 40-mph roll. Both agreed if they raced at the dragstrip, the bike would destroy the Cobra. But from a roll, things are different, just so long as the drag radials don't go up in smoke.
If you roll up on this innocent-looking Cobra from the Atlanta area, just remember-we told ya so!
