The Eliminator is a nice bike, but a 1985 VMax will whip it in a head to head drag race. I believe the first stock Kawi to best the 'Max in the 1320 was the ZX11.
In the real world, our part's guy used to whip the crap out of those things every weekend with a 900 Ninja. Chris could ride
Ninja had strut, lowered, Murray & Jet kit for the first year of it' life
Roger that! I had a Z-1 with open velocity stacks on some miki-29s, no-baffle 'Trapp, and one-down f/sprocket and I used to abuse the local V-Maxs (would that be Maxi???)
...through the 8th...I needed my 900 Ninja to keep 'em away for a 1/4, but as stated above: in the real world NO Max ever beat my 900 Ninja.
Ohhhh, but (back to the big E): my buddy was always faster through the 1/8th on his Eliminator than I was on either of my 900s.
...and now back to your regularly scheduled thread...
