Smokin......................I flew back here yesterday to put the bike through a whole day of testing to see if clutches would hold up and to see how fast lowered, and it was 63 degrees today vs 99 degrees 1 month ago when we shot the video.

Also in 06 when Ryan schnitz(45 pounds lighter than me) ran 9.65 on the Muzzy 14, it was in February.



Thanks Rickey!!!!...........Great info!!!!

I wish it was that easy for them to drive a bike to the east coast for me, but right noew the focus is on the press intro in 2 weeks here in Vegas.

But....never fear....I will have one in Ga at the Valdosta this weekend!
Cool Valdosta will have some good air .. I bet the numbers will look real good ..

How much HP would you think this bike would gain from a full exhaust and 47mm TB's????

Oh Ricky i guess i should ask .. How did the clutch hold up ? I would think it would be no different than the 06 to 2011 zx14 ..

it has a back torque limiter(slipper clutch and its much different, but so far 40 runs later, its doing good!
Take a look at how different it is and notice how Kawi milled the basket to make clearance for the 4 mil stroker rod bolt clearances.....................smart!

Smokin you said many times that Roy's bike was a handful..............do you think with similar power it will be hard to 60ft this bike?

Rickey does the new clutch "FEEL" any different when launching?

Is the only difference that it slips a little when downshifting at high speeds or is it not as could as the Gen 1 clutch for dragracing?

Mike yes i do .. Look at Ricky videos , he is on the clutch for a very long time trying to keep the front end down .. Ricky can't come close to using all the extra power of that stroker motor .. This bike is going to fly with some extra wheel base .. Even with the extra wheel base it going to take some seat time to master it .. Mike it might be a litte easier than Roys because it still has flys in place , it might just be a good idea to leave them in place to controll the power ..

6 springs !!! Cool ... That makes it easier to set up a lock up or slider .. Drag guys are going to love that ..I'm sure Brock will make a mod to remove the slipper if needed .. It may not be needed ..

I'll tell you whats crazy, this thing has some serious MPH. 149.8-at a close to 3k ft DA with a 170lb rider BONE STOCK except lowered. Somebody's gonna hit 155 on a better track without adding a thing and as soon as it's piped and re-geard(it may not need it) I bet this thing traps low 160's at any track below 1000' with the same weight rider(170 suited). I bet it beats JT's beemer record by 1.5-2.0 tenths set up the same way- and without JT riding.

the bike will for sure go faster with a smaller rear sprocket on the back. Bike is to hard to open the throttle in 1st gear.
