1/8 mile times anyone

[Guest]

Last season i took my 79 gs 750 to the track and ran a best time of 6.63......it has an 844 big bore kit 10-1/4 forged pistons megacycle cam and ported and polished head...lowered the front, dropped the ass end 3" and put 4" slick on it....just curious of other peoples times

I see many 1500cc street bikes at the strip in the 8 second range for 1/8 mile. -- some others in the 8 sec range for the quarter...

high 6 and on a mid size 80s' bike is waayy above average - First you went to a real track and passed tech !! Good for you!! the sport is losing numbers - so I hope you do it again and much more often.

what was the MPH? what carbs?


if I remember correctly - not looking at the log book. my pro bike ran around 5.3XX at 118 mph range I ran a really low comp 1428 last year.

I just dug up a old time slip from Norwalk back in 1991. 1.36 60foot, 6.032 @ 113mph at the 1/8 mile, 9.621 @ 133.5mph in the quarter. Dang I really would like to get back into racing.

Wow that's fast. ......call me nuts but I believe in the old fashion way of racing ....hand clutch foot shift......no 2 step box or air shifter

[storm 64]

Yeah, I know Steve that is a great deal on that bike ! I have a nice old school Kosman chassis. I would need to build a engine for it and up grade the brakes... it would be a fun project.

[1badgs750]

Plus im on a tight budget this year....maybe next year. ..ill ask santa claus....no matter what im racing. ....its my drug of choice. ...dont matter how big it is....just race it!!!
