Anyways, I love drag racing, so I decided to come here and post my times. Last year, I went to the drags 3 times. Once at a quarter track, twice at an eighth. All times very hot and sticky weather. Here is my best time in the quarter...

Back in 2004 when the bike came out one of the mags had a professional rider run a best of 11.03 at like 121mph and smoked the clutch after 11 or 12 runs....... No doubt the bike is not geared for running 1/4 miles on the strip as 119mph in 4th gear with stock gearing 16/46 (2.87:1) is only 12,000rpm so gearing it up to like 15/52 (3.46:1) with the right rider may gather some 10 second times and a better use of the 6 gears available.

I think one of the mags ran an 11.2 or 11.3 with a trap of 119 or so.

My Koso speedo records my 1/4 times (starts as soon as my front wheel moves and stops after 1/4 mile )... but I have not played with it yet... will report back ASAP.

Last summer i had over 200 1/4 mile races. with the stock 16t sprocket i was not able to get under high 11.4s clutchless shifts after 1st-2nd, running between 116-121mph. when i swapped my sprocket to a 14t i was running consistant 11.3@118mph. keep in mind this was done in Calgary Canada @ over 3,000ft above sea level-BAD air. Im sure i will shave @ least .2 off of my time now that im in toronto. i have a few races on youtube. its under my...

I think I would just run 3rd out in the 1/4. I'm seeing 124MPH at the rev limiter. gotta go to a strip and see.

I have to say this thread is one of the best so far. there is so much to learn from others, get questions answerd, and find out from other people who have the !#!# to try to go that fast, or R/T, or for people like me who just dont have the......guts.
