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!
