Brock just posted on Psychobike that he believes the BMW will do 9.20's on stock motor no power adder.
I did not go there and read but I'm guessing you mean 8.20's?

Yes, correct. I just noticed that I typed 9.20 instead of 8.20.

8.20's??? That would be amazing if it did but that may be stretching it without a power adder. I think he'd have to be running 165 to 170mph!

if brock said shit taste good you guys would swear by it
X2 I could not agree more. First off, I run Brocks products because they are nice and because I buy into Brocks whole customer service thing. Brock is a business owner and is out to make money period. If you guys think Brock is helping you out or being your friend just because.....you are silly. My latest exhaust I bought was once again Brocks but only because it was nice. I do not think I will run faster ETs or gain HP. I can't wait until the day Brock comes out with new exhaust and when you call him he says "this new exhaust will slow you down" It won't happen! Brock is a very smart business man and knows how to sell and market his products. Some of you are like lice hanging on to ass hairs. 
PS: Brock, thanks for taking my money when I purchased my TiWinder that was so kind of you. Just making a point! I so like Brock products and will continue to support them.

ummm....don't most people actually buy Brocks products because they WORK and produce HP? The great customer service is just a bonus. I don't see any other major manufacturor putting out the time and effort he does to make a great product.

I'm curious as to where they are going to find the other .20? The bike already went 5.49 in the 1/8th, with a super-stout 3.0 second back half (which points to the big hp). Of course, only Brock and Ryan know what potential is left in the machine.
As for the bike making 207 hp...well, it is what it is. I'd prefer to think of it as making 7 more hp than an equally prepped ZX-14, on top. People get too caught up in the big hp numbers. All the hp in the world won't make the bike ET if the power is not in the right places. And all dynos are different.
Like I say, I can't wait to see what these bikes do in the hands of regular guys. I'm sure a few will be sold based on the performance of Brock's machine. Who really cares that it is a few thousand more retail than a Japanese 1000? Most people finance these bikes anyway. Say, what are BMW's current rates??
What I see is a nice little cottage industry forming for support of this bike.

back on topic:
Brocks BMW goes 8.49
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brock Davidson The progressive numbers are as follows:
60 ft – 1.394
330 ft – 3.621
1/8 ET – 5.490
1/8 MPH – 129.48
1/4 ET – 8.497
1/4 MPH – 158.46
One item to note is that the bike ran out of gear in the top of sixth and ran into the rev limiter slightly before the finish line certainly negating a trap speed over 160 MPH even in these very windy conditions.

Ummm.......yes but you are missing the point! Everyone acts like Brock is doing them a favor when he sells them shit. In fact that makes Brock one hell of a marketing genius. I give Brock props that he actually has people fooled into believing that he really cares. He makes killer products but don't act like he's giving you the stuff free. He sells stuff that's what he does. Brock is small potatoes in the motorcycle industry that's why he must give good service or he would fail.

I love these kinda pissin contests. Look, Brock makes some pretty good exhausts and the numbers show it. I've had multiple exhausts in the past on my Busa and on my 14, and I can honestly say I like my alien head and his street map the best. Cause my ass dyno tells me so. Don't need somebody with a piece of crap dyno to tell me and others that they can tell gains in power they just got with his setups.

actually you're missing the point totally. Here's a guy making great products and providing great customer support. And get this....people actually LIKE this kind of deal. Imagine that. And on top of that...he's an enthusiest just like we are.
Seems you are the minority in thinking the way you do. But I guess there is one in every crowd. Cheers

I don't know how this became a pissing contest but I have to say Brock is the type of person I prefer to do business with. He emailed back and forth with me several times before I bought my exhuast and then he even contacted me when there was a recall. I didn't have to contact him. Yes his stuff may be in the upper price range but you get what you pay for and the excellent service is what keeps people coming back.

I think there is a difference between being a happy customer and a nut swinger. I think that is what some people are getting at. Nobody, including Brock, knows everything and sometimes people here seem to cross the line into worship, which is a little ridiculous. Not all people, just some people. It starts to sound like preaching.
Brock runs a successful business and it is his job to develop quality products and treat people well. In return he gets our money. 
But, back on topic...that 3.0 second back half....WOW.

If you think a 1000 is more wheelie prone you are dead wrong. Also I personally find the litre bikes easier to ride.
Yea i guess im dead wrong seeing i have a 07 14 and a 08gixxer 1000 in the garage what do i know right?

guys at Gixxer.com said my k9 1000 will not power wheelie 2nd gear, ive owned a few Gix 1000's but the k9 is worthless at drag racing, the front tire never stays on the ground, I cant hold it wide open at 75mph in 2nd, up to 120mph in 2nd its still lifting. zx14 dragbike-K9 wheeliebike lol

There is way more than $20k in that BMW...
It's around a $15k bike...just the wheels and pipe put it over $20k.
I paid $9200, brand new, for my 14. Even with the accessories on it, I haven't spent $20k.
I don't know what my bike can do with a pro like Ryan Schnitz on it...I guess it would go about as fast as any 455 lb. stock motored ZX-14.
