Well if you're going to modify a bike for drag, why wouldn't you start with a Busa or ZX14? They are cheaper, more stable, more torquey, and have more mods available.

Hey when the "Busa first came out somebody had to be the first to mod it for drag racing... Besides, I believe that the BMW has more ponies than the ZX-14 or the 'Busa.

great times for a stock bike.



id expect more from a high life drinker and gsxr rider.....
and i didnt hear any commentary other than what the bike ran. what i miss?



drag racing is just as much about the latest and greatest, lightest and fastest, as any other racing. the busa, and to a certain extent the 14, have more mods available because its a better starting platform than anything else out....til now maybe.

the busa will still be king in certain classes bcuz of its already bigger displacement(doubt u can bore the beemer out too much) but there are a lot of dragbike classes where the lighter weight of the 1000's are better platforms than the busa or 14.



yep


now if someone put some yamaha bodywork on the beemer, you would have one helluva moneymaker for street racing. sleeper!

And for the record I may have had a few too many High Life's when I posted that and was having trouble making my brain work...:lol:
