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.
It is funny how this guy knows all the performance data of its drag electric motorcycle, but when it comes to doing a burnout – which is something ordinary for somebody who races on a straight line – it blows us away and ends up going to the hospital unconscious. I’d rather not see this, but it is a good lesson for all of you out there who think that electric motorcycles aren’t as powerful as the ones fed with petrol.
It is nice to see the sponsors on that cap, but wouldn’t a helmet do any better?
It seems that being environmentally friendly doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to give up to all of those fun weekend incursions on the drag track (even though the one in this case is made of dirt).
Electric engines may not offer the same grunt as the ones fueled by methanol do, but it seems that they get the job done and participants open the throttle to the maximum lap after lap and there is great response to the strong request even though you may have to help the bike with your foot from time to time.
A dragster bike, created in Germany, was recently introduced and it says pure innovation. The idea is simple but the project involved a twelve-year job. > More
