[VTRumble]

over before it began, he sure kept his foot in it

[maxim_X]

Yowza

[Sheppo]

Would have liked to look under that hood.

[OreoGaborio]

Wwwwwwow....



Does my SV have reverse, too???

[R7]

By looking at the wheel spin at speed in the car, if it were to hook up 100%, it will even make most liter bikes look like they come with reverse

Have to be careful with those old cars, lot of money gets stuffed under those hoods.
In the beginning, listen to that '57. Sounds like it has a bump stick big enough to be made by Louisville Slugger.

That is a very quick (and clearly awesome) car, but it's not like an SV650 is a demon on the drag strip. They run high 11s/low 12s right? Thinking a ZX14 would be more evenly matched and I'd love to see that race.

Annnddd... the video is gone.

12's if your lucky and good, more likely 13's. Most 600 riders struggle to see 11's on the strip. I'm not saying they aren't capable of more, just what I've seen personally.

[Chippertheripper]

Pffft, everyone knows the sv is a chic's bike.

[OreoGaborio]

Kinda wanna bring my chick's bike to Epping.

[Chippertheripper]

Please do it. That way when people ask me how fast it is I have something to tell them.
"Eh, they can do xxxish in the quarter."
People understand that, that don't understand motorbikes.

[OreoGaborio]

Well with TLRMan dipping his toe back in the 1/4 mile game, I just may.

[maxim_X]

How about this Wednesday night? I'll bring the fighter.

[nhbubba]

Let's do it. I'll bring either my girls bike or my fat old man's bike.

[VTRumble]

Fixed video.

I haven't been to the strip in probably 8-10 years. I remember having an 03 R6 (the faster one with the black flame bodywork) and running an 11.3 @ 125 mph. Also had a 1998 R1 that I had a best time of 10.4 @ 137mph. What was surprising to me back then, was the number of older street cars that drove into the place and were running in the 9-10 second range.

I'd like to go up again sometime, just can't do it during the week. Maybe a Friday night, or Saturday test & tune day..if they still have those?

keep me informed!!

[nhbubba]

What a boring place to ride.

[Falko]

Guy I used to work with had a high 8 second car that was "Street legal". And that was without the bottle. You could hear that thing from a mile away. These cars go like hell in a straight line, don't ask them to turn or stop though...

If it can't turn I'm not impressed.

What's the quickest car you've ever driven? 1/4 mile time wise?

When I went (it's been a few years) wednesday and friday were street nights, some test and tune were on sat and sunday.
