the zx-12 went 9.50 at 148, and 9.5's all day long. he went a 9.60 when he took the busa's money at the end of the day (for $400, i heard). the rider weighed 175 lbs. I also saw a zx-12 with stock pipe go 9.5? last weekend, but at only 142. I am starting to beliieve that, yes, zx-12's may be...

motorhead, didn't you say somewhere that you couldnt lower or strap the front of the bike because of the intercooler? is there ways around this?

I knew it!

am i thinking that if you got a "bad" tank of 87 octane gas, it may be in the 80 octane range, where as a "bad" tank of 93 octanre gas would most likely be in the 87 octane range, making it SAFER to run the higher octane? of course, this would be in the not likely to happen category, but what if...

A lot of people talking, but until someone puts down a 9.28, stock wheelbase, stock motor- jasons the man... i would hate to blow someone's cover of having a modified bike, but when they claim to have a stock motor, and a lot of people know its had work (ive heard BEYOND cams) they blow that...

16-42 = what speed in 4th gear at rev limiter? anybody?

good luck, my friend just waited a month for a starter...it was on national backorder...hopefully the last shipment isnt already sold out. get one quick!

you say you run a 16-42, and run 9.5's at 146-147..is this correct? my question is, are you on the rev limiter through the traps, or very close to it (assuming your still in 4th gear)? did you ever run a 16-41, and how much of a difference did it help. you now run the mcr2 which, i think, is...

hell, if a 175 hp zx-12 has trouble beating a busa, then you can dam sure believe a 140 hp short wheel based gsxr 1000 wont touch it in the quarter mile (or top end, for that matter), equal riders. we have a few 150 rwhp r-1's in this area that usually run 10.0's@140-142 with pretty good riders...

4" over arm.....is that a 0 to 4" over? if it is, set her at 60" and bring it to MIR's shootout on sept. 17th... i would love to see what she can do set at 60".....

Rob, come on man, you know capital SUCKS, its just so damn convienient! MIR with its new pavement is awesome- i didn't spin once today, but wheelied like crazy. hopefully capital will be on the ball next sunday for their all-bike meet. Rumor has it that Cecil county will be running on...

'lanta, you take this one....i'm sitting this round out..

'lanta, i beat you to it. your server is slow. my server has a pipe and airbox mod done. you better get some chip work done if you want to hang with me.

you have mail....

183? sounds like a "happy" dyno to me! so that 12 should be going through the traps at about 157 mph?
