I don't think I can get it much lower though.... Off to the dyno next Friday then the track, assuming it survives.

That is one scarey bike! I am always impressed when someone has both brains and balls, and does something with them. make sure we hear about all of your world records.

This is what I do for fun, not for work. It is art, with a little engineering thrown in.

And they say V-twins make torque... 760cc - 8.69@162mph 810cc, 211mph www.750turbo.com www.stormdragbike.com

steell Offline User Posts: 6850 Thank you received: 207	Wow! That's roughly 300 hp per liter! Certainly impressive Are you still running without a wheelie bar? And if you are, how much trouble are you having keeping the front end somewhere near the pavement? Post edited by: steell, at: 2006/05/08 14:30 KD9JUR

Bars are for drinking in...

It was wheelieing in every gear last year with 195hp but now it is really low it's not a problem with 235.
The pictures don't really convey how low it is,
and even though it's relatively short wheelbase
you can launch pretty hard as long as the weight
it carries is low and as far forward as possible.
The turbo Busa 60" bikes run well into the 7s with over 400hp so with the right chassis setup you don't
need bars or a super long swingarm to run quick.
