Need real world times

[OB_Rypp]

Howdy All!
I currently work in Nigeria and I interact with people from all over the world. While talking bikes with a few Brits and Scots they refused to believe the 1/4 mile times the bike mags have reported for the Busa. One Brit in particular (an R1 rider) was very adamant about it. Since I have never ran mine at the strip can any of you supply me with some real world drag times and speeds?

Howdy back at ya Rypp,
I for one, have run a 9.75@145mph personal best. I can run 9.85 to 9.90 almost at will. I weigh 185lbs. Mods to the Busa are as follows. One tooth off front and lowered.That's it.

Rypp,
I use a strap on the front end and longer dogbones in the rear. Both of the above mentioned items can be purchased from Schnitz racing.

Thanks Gsxdan!
Sounds like you have some experience at the strip. What did you do to lower the bike?
