Kevin,
What I was referring to was that I've ran 203 at Maxton on my 12 one time and the next only 196 with no difference in the bike, only change was the weather conditions.
I usually run Ultimate 4 or MR1.

Also alot depends on conditions.....
The fact about Maxton or the Texas Mile is that they are run one way. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes not.
My stock bore/stroke ZX12R makes 183 on pump gas, 188 on MR9 and I weigh 205 in shorts, I've ran 203 at Maxton and we all know what pigs the...
I for one have no desire to run 200 on the street every day.
I enjoy a good street race from time to time but nowhere near 200mph. That's the beauty of Maxton and the Texas Mile. A person can go a few times a year, air their bike out in a reasonably safe enviroment and have a blast. If you...
This is so funny!
The author was close on a couple of things.....
Chad weighs 128 or so in shorts.
He is a former Kawasaki Team Green Dragracer.
Not so close items......
Chad made a total of five runs on the bike before breaking 200, four between 199.1 and 199.3mph and one aborted run of 189...
Good points for sure.
I do agree that it would take less hp for a 'Busa to run the same numbers as a 12 or 14. They are slicker and have a huge aftermarket following, no wonder everyone runs them to go fast.
I just beat to a different drum and I've always liked Kawasakis. Of course I've lost...
Apples to apples stock, the 12, 14 and 'Busa are all gonna run 186.....no winner.
We did not know how to bypass the limiter on the 14 other than gearing it taller to fool it, the gearing was way off for maximum mph at the lights....too tall.
I can promise you that a pure stock 'Busa with an 18...
Hey TJ,
Those numbers that Sport Rider put out are guesstimates at best. We took a bone stock 14 to Maxton in May that had 24 miles on it. It made less than 170hp on a DJ150 and Chad rode it to 196.1mph.
The only mods were an 18 tooth counter sprocket to fool the top-end limiter and the mirrors...
