Powered front wheel up

Today while leaving work, i pounded on the throttle, bike Roared to life to catch up to my coworker in his Honda.

He laid into his throttle and i didnt have a chance to think and I was gone, going into 2nd the front wheel came up and scared the crap out of me. LOL!

Kept in the throttle though and rode it out going into 3rd at 85+mph and quickly had to stop at the intersection for my left turn.

I wonder what this bike would do at the strip?
Dang thing runs like a raped ape.

Still weird having a full dressed cop bike that would lift the frontend up all in power lol!

I never even thought for a minute that the wheel would come up, I was a little excited to say the least.
Wish i would have gotten it on video though. (wait - that could have been legal smeagal to bust me nevermind lol!)

still amazed the big bike would lift the frontend going into second, and doing 85 at that. i better be nice to my bike now.

Hey Randy, you be careful on that beast.
I wonder, is the cop KZ1000 geared differently than the civilain models? I've reefed my 900 pretty hard sometimes, and the front gets maybe a little light, but never leaves the road.
