1979-80 Kawasaki Dragrace video Pro stock Kaw runs a 9.05 @ 140 in the 1/4 mile. The sound is off but a cool video of old KZ'z and Vicky Farr on a KZ1000 out running Terry Vance on his V&H GS1000 Suzuki.

Good video!! Before my time. It's amazing how we are running the same times on stock motored bikes as they did on pro stock bikes.

I love that I can scare the sh!t talking Mustang drivers who think that they are the fastest thing on the road. All I have to do is mention "pink slips" and they shut up. And I am just a novice.

If I owned a $20,000-30,000 mustang I wouldn't race a bike worth $7,000 for pinks anyway, even if I did have a big hp car.

True, but the point is to shut them up. And it works.

Oh look a fish market filled to the brim! Life is not only short but even shorter if you chase records. Can't beat Team T&B on a gooday and they are still the team to beat. Say it! Yes or no?

Dude! That top fuel bike was fast as hell for the technology that was out back then. On a side note my 6 year old just asked me if that was 200 years ago. LOL

Guys think about goin that fast on a KZ chassis bike! They were evil handling machines and can't say they had great brakes either. If memory serves correct,Sid Pogue was the first to put a big tire on a Pro-Stock Bike.I was a teenager then and those bikes are still the best sounding bikes ever made,my opinion anyway. Sid Pogues Z-1R was a bad bike.
