Finally got to the drag stip tonight and here it is. Well I will start off by saying the bike is a 2003 XB9r. It has the race kit and that is it for performance. I weigh in at 180, and with the bike we totall out a 630 lbs, and that is with 1 gallon of fuel. Also I am running 93 octane, and temp was about 65 degrees at 6pm-10pm and I got 15 runs in. Times. Best. Reaction- .8409 60ft- 1.9890 330ft-5.1291 ET @ n594ft- 7.2609 1/8 mile ET- 7.7439 1/8 mile MPH- 93.15 1000' ET- 10.0502 1000' MPH- 105.10 1/4 mile ET- 12.0390 1/4 mile MPH- 112.51 My first run was my worst with a time of 12.6480 at 108.70mph.

Those are some nice numbers. So how fun was it to push to the absolute limit?

It got to the point I wasnt happy with every run I would pick apart every little thing I did wrong from the take off, to not shifting fast enough, to sitting up to high, just anything, and all to try and get my bike into the 11's, but I just couldnt get there. At least this week I couldnt. There is always next time. I really need to work on my take off. I figure I can drop up to 3 maybe 4 tenths of a second if I have a flawless take off. Numbers show for each tenth off your 60 ft time it averages 2 tenth in the end 1/4 mile so I hope to drop to a 1.8 60 ft and I should have an 11.7 or so 1/4 mile and I will be happy as hell on that. But for now it is back to just cruising and enjoying the bike. Hell maybe I will add a couple performance items. Who knows. But none the less I was only expecting a mid 12 so to run almost a 12 flat is great for me. Brandon
