Said it was due to a crosswind and sticky surface that wouldn't allow the front to slide

Glad Ryan's OK!!.....................never heard of anything like that happening on a ZX 14 or a Busa.........could that be because the 1000's are so light?

x2 i would think the front to either be power wheelie or lite on the track in that area. maybe he had the steering sideways when the tire touch down..

Not today..... I read on Brock's Facebook the track was sticky. Ryan did a 400 ft wheelie
at 100MPH and washed out the front wheel on touch down.

400 ft out is usually prepped better than the back 1/8. Was not there, just printed what was on Brocks facebook. Sounds like Ryan did not have front wheel straight on touch down. Pro's make mistakes too. Just sayin..........

You guys have to remember something..... the engine in that BMW is stock. No SS head yet, no cam sprockets, no valve job, no nothing.
After we do a gsxr1000 SS head the bike makes 193 RWHP with stock cams and pistons.
The BMW clearly has a power advantage out of the box. I'll bet once we supersport one of these it will be almost unrideable for all but the most talented, at stock wheelbase.

I remember reading that you guys get over 200hp on the 14 with your SS head, what kind of bump in torque is there? Just curious about where the BMW will fall out HP and Torque wise with one of those heads.

Of course not....I'm just moving on to basketball predictions.
What, you don't like basketball?
I'm sure the BMW makes 207 hp and is 100 lbs. lighter than a 14. The numbers prove it...right??
