I don't have a 1/4 mile time yet but was wondering who does and what youre top speeds and times were?
I think one of the mags ran an 11.2 or 11.3 with a trap of 119 or so.
Hey Steve ,r/t .180
60' 2.165
330' 5.483
1/8th 8.054 @ 93.39 mph
1000' 10364
1/4 12.355 @112.81
and skipping all the b.s. on the other one
12.346 @ 111.73
r/t .098 almost but not quite a redlight.
Full gear, full fuel, lowered tire pressure, night time, very very hot that night.
Never spun a tire once. Did almost flip the bike on my last run. I just let the clutch out to fast at way to many rpm.
Last summer i had over 200 1/4 mile races. with the stock 16t sprocket i was not able to get under high 11.4s clutchless shifts after 1st-2nd, running between 116-121mph. when i swapped my sprocket to a 14t i was running consistant 11.3@118mph. keep in mind this was done in Calgary Canada @ over 3,000ft above sea level-BAD air. Im sure i will shave @ least .2 off of my time now that im in toronto. i have a few races on youtube. its under my girlfriend user name mits24 look up fz6 vs r6
Hey Steve ,
Out of interest, how how hard and at what revs can you dump the clutch to acheive those (respectable) times?

Thanks mate,I never dumped the clutch. I tried to do the thing in Total control with reving the bike up and slipping the clutch. I just dont have enough practice. I didnt write it down and I dont remember because I wasnt serious and didnt take notes.
I would ask Kyle? he has a whole lot more experince racing the strip than me. I just did it for fun.

Here is a thread I made when I did it.
Thanks for the info guys. Thus far, more than I expected. I was watching a show on the speed channel one night ( I think called sport bike) and they were doing a little; how to: 1/4 mile show. I couldn't believe how much technique was involved in making a good 1/4 mile run.
I'm not saying I want to go drag racing every weekend but just wanted to know how we rate. I wouldn't want to pull up next to an R1 some evening and act like I want to run.
