Losing control of his drag bike and heading towards the opponent is the last thing that a drag race rider wants, but actually running over the guy he’s competing against is so rare that people don’t even take this possibility in consideration. But it happens and we came across a shocking video that shows just that. > More
French scooter tuning house MXS Custom has created this incredibly fast 172cc, two-stroke scooter called the 2Evil dragster. Obviously, the thing is built for drag racing and it is quite good at what it is meant to do. For instance, it covers 150m of scooter drag strip in less than six seconds. Hit the jump to see the 2Evil dragster humiliating the competition. > More
This video is apparently one that shows nothing new in matter of crashes while drag racing. The rider of one bike released the clutch too fast, gave the bike too much gas, the front end lifted from the ground and he totally lost control. We can understand that. What we can’t understand is where that photographer was running to so fast that he couldn’t even managed to stay on his feet.
So know you know why people argue that much about author rights.
Ever wondered what a multiple number of J402-CA-702 Model 373 turbines would do to your average drag bike? Apparently, the 1,000 pounds of trust that each one of those delivers in order to normally power cruise missiles are enough to transform a day at the drag track into a world record setting date.
Achieving 200mph in 7.887 seconds, this thing is claimed to be the current record holder in its field.
We’ve just spotted the unique opportunity (for your out there, of course) to get into drag racing. This here is a 7 sec 300+ horsepower turbo charged Kawasaki bracket racing bike and it is posted “for sale” on Youtube so if you were planning to go as a professional from the start, this is the perfect time to take action.
The video shows a few demo runs and also the owner’s phone number and e-mail in case you’re interested.
Kawasaki will soon launch their new Ninja Underground Website where we’ll be seeing stunt riding, drag racing and track racing, all on their 2009 Ninja models so they tease us with the official video dedicated to this event until the actual launch.
Drag racing is the way to go if you plan on becoming the fastest female motorcycle rider on Earth and it seems that Jennifer Robertson has got that right. Growing up in a family that is passionate about racing, Jennifer inherited the passion for motorcycles from his father and started to rider since it was six years old.
Currently, she is riding a Turbo Hayabusa and attempts to hit 223mph – the record for the fastest women on a motorcycle – and claims “…we just got to get the bike to work. I can do it”. Well, that’s the spirit!
It may sound like an F16 lining up to do a “Jet Fighter vs Motorcycle” race, but this is actually a combination of the machine we’re all passionate about and the military aircraft. This does indeed prepare for a drag run as power out of the corners is an aspect way above the manageable level of the chassis.
Why would people do that?...because they are defining the term “adrenaline junkie” by doing it and, of course, because they can.
Which better way to compare a Suzuki Hayabusa with a Kawasaki ZX14 then on a straight line? And which better place to do that then at the O’Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis?
The Hayabusa was going for a good run, but it seems that previous burnouts for worming out that rear tire worn it too much, ending up blowing. It is amazing that the rider was still conscious after such a crash and I can understand why it didn’t got up its feet.
There’s nothing sweeter than spending a weekend enjoying drag racing and when it comes to the rumble of those massive V-Twin motors powering Harley-Davidson drag motorcycles, the crowd is absolutely astonished. It is exactly the scenario from this month’s Harley Drag Race in Cecil County Maryland.
