Well to be honest i have only been doing this since August...i DO have a "teacher" and the hard part is putting the competitveness aside and following isntructions...LOL...such as lining up against say a guy on a 14 and KNOW you have been told to ONLY work on your 60 foot times (i.e.shutting it down after just 60 foot)...see what i mean...BUT if you go out and run 1.70 and 1.80 60 foots your just wasting gas and beating on the bike if you continue to run the WHOLE 1/4 mile...follow me?.....finally getting my 60 foots consistent 1.49's and 1.50's....and as you can see (by the guy that put the 8.98 pass on my bike it takes even lower ones (1.4's) to get in the 8's)....so i still have some learning to do (i.e. get the "Stones" to get the throttle PINNED before 60 foot...LOL)....but hey you can do it with some practice...

That is CRAZY !! With just a pipe, and seeing 8"s ......SICK !!!



I've had my Busa for 4 years since August, and I've never tried to "drag" race it (from a stop). Tons of roll-on's. It "LOOKS" so easy, but if it was everyone would be doing it. What rpm do you take off at ? How fast are you off the clutch, and does the rear spin on take-off ? (don't worry I'm not asking so I can go out front & try it :stoopid



What's the hardest thing to learn...reaction time, giving it as much throttle as you can, without standing it up.... (or is this different with each person) ?

Probably orange and black (fastest color)

Thats some awsome numbers and speed.... I tried it this weekend too.
Some make it look so easy but easy it is NOT.

That's a great time... but aren't Gen2's heavier than Gen1's?
I'm gonna see how much weight I can drop on my Gen1 w/ a carbonfiber gas tank, GSXR wheels w Pilot Pures, and an aluminum subframe...
