yeh 10.01 shortwheelbase with the best rider out there. im sure a average rider will be pogoing down the strip on that thing. ill stick to the torque bikes. easy to go fast on a zx14 or a busa.

Yeah, the two that I have seen at the track were stock wheelbase and the riders were normally twisty riders. Neither of them did very will, they would wheelie and the electronics would limit it and/or they would let off and get back into it and just repeat the same thing. I saw one getting thoroughly embarrassed by his buddy on a CBR600RR.

Guys its smoke and mirrors! I'm not saying they won't do it obviously it did but here's the fact a light weight 14 with lightweight wheels waiting in at 480 pounds with 120 pound rider total weight 600 pounds with a 70 inch swingarm with MR 12 fuel making 215 hp with RAM air. If you put that into the calculator it says 5.208@136.29 8.201@166.21. Ya I know that sounds crazy but who do you know that has a bike set up like this with a professional rider? The real test will be when real street comes around again "if ever" to see what they really have. You always hear about the Busa guys talking about how fast the Buas is. But when it come down to it they were a no-show in real street they use the 1000. I'm not trying to talk a bunch of smack just trying to put apples with apples. Remember this is a factory sponsored Bike?

I have seen the BMW run 8.50s up close .. It's a fast bike but it is tricked out with all the best go fast goodies .. I believe if i took my zx14 and added all the goodies the Beemer has it would be a very very close race ... I'm not saying i would be it but the BMW would know i was in the race ..

thanks Lee and I know you're right. I wish Adams would chime in I bet he is already seen that race? There is no professional class for a bike like that with a extended swingarm? But if there was you would be amazed at what the bikes would run.

What I wonder is real guys numbers. We just don't see them. last I heard clutches where very expensive and I have heard nothing on how long they last. is it 20 passes or 30 to 400 like a zx 14 or busa clutch?

+1 My bike sits around 65 inches and I rode it daily in San Diego, splitting traffic and everything else that goes along with commuting.

I don't think I'd have any trouble running that bike into the 8.6s. I'd have to ride it a bit different due to powerband differences, but very doable IMO. Would love to make some passes on that at a test n tune. Can't wait to see what Smokin does on it...I'm guessing he'll be 8.5s fairly easy.
I've been 1.37s on my ZRX at 63 3/4", so with that bike sitting that long, I think it'd be pretty easy. Sure would be fun trying!!

Well the gearing does hold it back some for street riding .. They did have that BMW geared real real low ... In fact it uses all 6 speeds in the 1/4 mile ... I'd still ride it on the street but it may be a bit Buzzy at Hiway speeds .. Oh yes that MR12 would get kind of costly with daily use ..
