This more than appeals!

I've got a spare dio that would love to one day turn into a dedicated drag bike.

Looks great!

Would love to do something like that sometime, but 1, I'm poor.. well not really, but too poor to play around with things like that. 2 I have hardly any room in my garage. 3, my wife would blow a gasket. But still.. that's one sweet setup you got going on there.

The Fast N Furious movies have skewed most "non-motor junkies" into thinking that if your car doesn't run 10's in the 1/4mi than its not quick. Having been to Pacific Raceways many times and even taking a couple runs myself, I can say that a car that runs 12's is fast. Many stock-motored Turbo or Supercharged cars run somewhere in the 12's. Its when you have extensive engine work and add nitrous that you crack into 11's, 10's or rarely the 9's.

Getting your scoot into the 12's would be well into triple digit speeds and be scary as Pam Anderson without make-up. It would also be extremely badazz to witness. You simply MUST have multiple cameras positioned for those runs...I GOTTA see that! :2thumbs:

Of course, Im not talking about the Hellcats or other crazy "stock" supercars of that nature. Stock Hellcats have been known to run in the low 11's but those are also 700hp.

A stock 2015 Mustang GT has 435hp and runs 13-flat. A stock 2016 Camaro SS has 455hp and does 12.3.....point being: a scooter in the 12's is crazy fast and comparable to a car with about 450hp....that's SICKNESS!
