I have seen a 900whp TT Goat pull on a Hybusa from a roll 60-170. You need a ton of power to hang with a sport bike.

bikes lose the advantage from a roll, the aerodynamics turn in favor of the car. Off the line, with a decent rider, your going to see high 2 sec 0-60's out of a liter bike, which is about a second faster than most heavily modded street cars, the TT lingenfelter turned a 2 sec one... Problem is, most guys have no clue what they are doing on bikes and only race from a roll because its easier.

i have seen 1.75 60's run a 13.2 1/4. i personally run 1.9 60's with 12.75 fastest 1/4. im pretty sure the tt ligenfelter turned alittle higher than a 2.0 60. and that guys full of it i was racing new vettes on my r6 and spanking them without downshifting on the highway. no way his ls1 can beat a low 10 bike 9 spots!! im callin bs

Bikes are fast... but not that fast... there are many things that screw up a launch on the street.. and if the guy on the bike isnt 150 lbs and have the rpms dead on at launch then you can beat him with a good launch.... many of the published 0-60 times are calculated.. not measured...

and if you dont believe me.. take your crotch rocket to the track and do a 1/4 mile run with a launch from near idle like most stoplight races are anyway.. do it on a cold street tire.. and see what the time is... and besides 9 car lengths isnt that much.. its about 140 feet... and at 130 mph (guestimated trapspeed) thats 190.5 ft/sec.. or 0.71 seconds.... could you beat a sportbike by 0.71 seconds if the launch was sub-optimal and the driver weighed in the 200 lbs range.. and shifted like he had to pay for the maintenance himself... my guess is "propably yes"

Leave your engine alone and work on other things. Gears and a converter, and suspension. You can make that thing alot faster with the power it already has. Pick up a trans cooler too.
