That'sright and don't believe what the magazine journo writes because you and him have different riding abilities.

They are all fast bikes, just depends how big your balls are.
So where's that big block thread?

[spamanglenn]

Balls is right.my datalogging tells me i,m only using 124hp in first gear at stock height.Have done a few runs lower not tied down and lets just say i can use a bit more than that.I bet i know how many leonard uses in 1st gear.

The rider has more to do with results than the bike, when all the other things are close to equal.

Yep it take a lot of practice, we often gets Guys turning up on all different types of bikes wondering why they are not busa beaters, the trouble is they believe the bullshit in the mags they soon come down to earth with a big bang.
Also
Many thanks to Pan for teaching me setting up and turning my bike for the Drags, I'm sure I would still be in the 12's with out Him

[Gnarbunkle99]

That's why you shouldn't WOT and dump the clutch in first gear, can't use it all without over-lofting the front wheel. Getting it all just right is the ticket.

"Nemesis,

Dont be mistaken the zx14 is a seriously fast bike stock or otherwise, I was impling about how many newbie's turn up at the drag's with the lastest and greatest (some even go so far as to enlighten us on how fast their bikes are) only to get whipped by an old model busa in the hands of a "streetmeet regular" then never to return.

Some are worried about the new 08 having more hp and maybe getting beaten at the drags, only way this will happen if one of the regulars gets an 08.

Hmm so how quick is this zx14 going?
No one hasnt answered that yet haha.
Im totally with you on this legend,its not the ride,its
the rider
As sarcastic as the saying sounds!

[Gnarbunkle99]

Not bad for a newbie, with practice on a stockie you should get into the low tens, or possibly high to mid 9's, (if your'e a jockey in the US at least). But alas, drag racing works on the law of diminishing returns, you invest more time, money, effort etc and it gets more and more difficult to for the ET to come down.

[NEMESIS]

Hmm,yeh what is it with those yankees an there high 9 stock busa quarters?
Are There quarter miles strips running down a hill or something?

[NEMESIS]

Notbad at all!
Anyone know whats done to it?

[Gnarbunkle99]

[Legend]

All it takes to run high 9's is a lowering link and a strap, gearing (if your no lightweight) and practise....lots of practise and listening to the right advise (Pan can assist in this area).
Dont need no pipes, pc's etc, all you need is 138-140 mph terminal speed, but you also need a low 1.6 or a 1.5 60' time. This has been proven a WSID many times, with a 90kg rider (no gear).

The zx14 has the hp advantage, so stock it will run in the 9's easier than a stock Busa.

Some journo's dont have any riding ability.

Leonard.

[Gnarbunkle99]

Agree, thats why they have a calculator in their pocket and apply a "fudge factor".

[NEMESIS]

Ahaahah serious legend?
