You're impressed that our bikes can outrun an already slow car?
Interesting. |

Your 250's would not have out ran my old 1999 V6 Mustang. It had 215hp, plus a little extra umph...a 150 shot of nitrous oxide.
Nothing but tail lights. hahahahahahaha That was a FUN car. I surprised a whole load of people in that thing.

The funniest thing I experienced was that I was able to keep up with a v6 mustang in my stock U13 for awhile

I love how everybody is so obsessed with drag racing, so many videos on youtube of car drivers talking about how they beat the 250 in straight line runs. I guarantee you I would leave those guys scratching their heads on a mountain climb.
Sorry for my rant but I just don't consider the 250 to be a drag bike without serious engine work, even then your limited by its displacement it just wasn't built for that. But I wouldn't take a tzr 125 to a drag strip either.

I tuned my car to handle well and that's about it. Besides can't really drive or ride anything to its potential on the streets.

I agree with you about riding anything to its potential on the streets but I think there are way too many people in the US who watched the fast and the furious series.

As for racing the 1/4-mile, well as someone else said - it's the American way. Over here it's more about the cheap, quick thrill. Gotta remember many of the streets don't really allow for complicated (yet make-shift) race courses to be made and still get away with it. So it kids just got the quickest shortest races they could w/o getting caught, which was usually on a very flat/straight backroad away from the city where the cops didn't go. |

The only sleeper I ever built was a 1960 VW Microbus that I crammed a 140HP Corvair Corsa engine in. It terrorized other Microbusses sinse it looked totally stock.

Mmmm Smartabusa . (HayaSmartsa?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdJ84...eature=related Yeah, drag racing has always been hugely popular in the states, largely because we are so techno-chauvinistic. We love whoever has the best gear, and any sort of skill (in almost anything, except perhaps playing guitar... but even talented musicians are being replaced by ametuer sound synthesizing technologies) falls way behind in importance.

My toy was my old 1969 Chevy C-10. It had a cammed 454 with LT's and 2-ch Flowmasters. It sounded like a beast. Most people thought it was just loud exhaust and would think they could beat me due to the offroad tires it had on it. Truth was I could run mid to low 13's all day long. I knew what I could take down and what I couldn't. Man that was a fun truck. Sounded evil when you would first crank it up in the mornings too. I was about to put in a plate running a 100-shot, but decided that I needed to sell it, it was soaking up my funds.

Cars versus bikes on any level sounds like a nice way to end up a bloody hood ornament. LOL. I have been riding for years and still don't get why somebody would pull up in their car and try and race a bike any bike for that matter. I have raced plenty of other bikes against my old R6 and YZF600R. Both at a 1/8th mile strip and at track days. Those were always fair fights LOL.
I only have one thing to say to the car that would beat me in a race.But can you do this? As I ride off on one wheel! Haha. Those Smart Cars with the 1000cc engines are cool. I saw when that whole thing started about 4 years ago. Looks like waayyy tooo much fun. |
