Well I know the bike is more than capable, but I'm stoked that I finally rode it into the 9's. I'm a bigger guy so it is more difficult to get there (220 lbs. with out leathers), but I finished my licensing this weekend. Went 9.86 @ 144 right off the trailer, then 9.88, then 9.87. Seems like this thing was meant to bracket race. Ended up losing in the semis with a 9.896 on a 9.90 dial. All in all a good day at the track.

Congrats RockinC, on your 9 sec pass on that bike and also to getting faster in the future........

Congrats on hittin a 9 and on getting your competition licence.

Hopefully I'll have to do that next year when i get a new bike.

congratulations. What all do you have done to the bike now?
9.8s at 144 is good.

It is now 61", -1 front, +2 rear, lowered 1" front and rear, front strapped, Full Muzzy exhaust, and PC3usb.

Badass - you going to be able to make it to Firebird on May 27th? I'll be there for their bike race. Would like to finally meet you in person. Maybe drink a beer or two.

thats the exact same times i run consistently on my k2 1000 though im 180 with leathers. im puttin down 156hp and 80tq. shows what a difference being lighter has!!
what 60s u runnin on those passes?

1.79 - 1.80 60's. When I ran a 9.87 I had a 1.72 60' but missed a shift. It still ran 9.87 @ 141mph. So I know that pass would have been better since I had a better 60' and a slower mph because of the screwed up shift. I'm putting down 165 hp to the tire.

Hey guy's, i got a friend who's got a 05 limited busa and his 60ft. times are high 1.40 to low 1.50 in the 1/8 mile with just a full yoshi exhaust, lowered front and back with a front end strap, -1 +3 gearing, something to think about......

Great Job! Congrat's on the licence, welcome to the "club".

Thanks Ethan. Too bad you couldn't have made it down for the race. Get that thou put back together and show these guys what it can do.

i am 220 and there is no way i am running 9s any time soon with the bike...lol

what are you guys launching at?
