not so amigo !!!
any help i can give you to achieve this would be a pleasure!! i'd be proper up for that! i bet three quaters of the busa's with stretch swing arms have never seen full throttle let alone a drag strip! tarry not with these non believers my friend and stretch thine swing arm, seriously! i willing to bet vast amounts of cash there would be magazines in this country tripping over themselves to feature the bike if its executed properly! same in the states, i know aprilia are exotica over there !! as stated before if my shop can help in any way, to realise this let me know!! i'd be buzzin forrit!!  
Cheers Griff |

well on the busas for the most part your right , except for the guys i ride with they are about drag racing, well you said i would have to have a swing arm custom made how much do you think it would run? and would it be possible to run a swing arm from something like a busa on an aprilia? i know its weird thing to think, but now im really starting to think about this.

There's a guy in the states (california I think) that does sterling jobs tuboing bikes. He's famous for his Bimota...500bhp. He lengthens the frame & manages to get respectable handling too.
What I am curious to know is...what sort of quater mile time would say an RSV factory as standard manage?
Hmmm...ahh thank you google (oh n sportrider.com lol):
