The problem a lot of people don't realize is that comparing numbers from two different tracks on two different days is not always going to give you a close idea of how things will go down on the street. And trying to figure out a car's exact trap by gauging a run with a bike (or vice versa) is just a bad idea. They perform very differently in a straight line, especially when you start throwing in different gears and different starting speeds.

I'm assuming you run at NED, which is a very solid track that typically gets people good timeslips, especially in cooler weather. I wouldn't say it's an Atco or MIR, but I'd definitely rather run there than LVD on the same day if I was shooting for the best times possible. I guess we'll find out once you get your new setup on the car and take it up.

Respectfully Evan, i disagree that we didn't get to 150 on that run. When i lifted my speedo was reading 165. It's off by 8-9% which would put us right around 150 real speed. Even watching the video you can tell that was the fastest run just by the speed the lines are whipping by.

For everyone else, that run was on a slight downhill which is why the bike was able to get to 150 so easily. On flat ground from a 65mph start it would be a major struggle to be in front of the Boss at a true 150. By 120 he's stopping my pull, 130 starting to reel me in, and at 140+ i'm about to be in trouble.

For a damn near stock car, the Boss is a very quick ride. 400+whp with a couple of basic bolt-ons is hugely impressive IMO.

That bike is not goin 126 w//o heavy mods.my bike could forsure go a bit faster than it did by taking the givi off and beating on the clutch but I would still expect it not to trapp over 120.

Just as a note: me and a bud ran my bike vs my car. Back then my car trapped 122 and it could beat up on my bike pretty good.

The launch is by FAR the hardest part to get down on the bike and most people have absolutely no idea what they're doing (even most of them that think they do ). I highly recommend a rental or two when you get the opportunity to really tweak your skills and gauge improvement. It takes a LOT of runs to get comfortable and consistent launching a bike hard.

EDIT: stock height and length with no strapping makes it even more difficult (in my mind more fun ), but it's definitely the way to learn because if you can learn to launch it hard and consistently on a stock height/length bike with no strap, you'll be able to launch the ***** off it if you do lower/strap/stretch it (or ride a bike that is modded like that).

It's pretty funny that i was substantially quicker than the R6s you raced when you had a 220lb passenger. That was a 40 roll right?

Had to have needed the rider mod.

Beans, good luck at the strip!
