So Steve you race a Honda rite

Cunningham performance here in Naples races a 2013 ZX14 air shifter , Brocks ect, We should meet a Bradenton sometime this winter , I would like him to run my bike first to give me a little insight , then I'll try , I never drag raced a bike at the track, In boat drag racing the start is EVERYTHING.
I was talking 1/8th of a mile on my 600, and if you care too I'd appreciate lining up with your bike sometime...win or lose.
back to R1 topic, I won;t just kill the C14 I'll murder it
I doubt it steve. All of the small sportbikes have their power at the top- the very top. What makes the concours great is the wide power band. Instead of looking at the horsepower only, I also like to consider the torque in the lower rpms. The 1/4 mile times for the R1 are very close to the concours.
Does that mean your 600 will easily take the R1 then?

p.s. forgot to mention i only burn regular gas, no scamsoil, no k&n and no battery tender.... but two keyfob batteries.

its all about the 1st 60' launch in bike drag racing, thats why I can't ring a 10 out of mine like the select few that have.The front 60' is why I think I've got a shot at managing a sub-11 out of a stock bike at sea level. The 11.36 I ran was in Tucson at just over 3000' elevation, so I'm sure I've got a few tenths on the back end, and as seen in the video earlier, launching at 7k is worth a couple on the front end.
its the knee drag type tracks that I'm into anyway, I've never spent enough time on a drag strip to learn itI wouldn't be any good at it if I hadn't gotten the 2 day course with Rickey Gadson. I learned an insane amount about launching a bike well in those 2 days at the track. However, even if I can manage to get SWMBO to let me get a ZX-14R, I'd keep the wheelbase stock so I could go fast around corners with it as well...
