1/8 mile runs

[Micfitz]

Can anyone guess if I would break into the 9's or 10's in the 1/4 mile give these 1/8 mile times?

Bike is an 06 with 26k on it, pump 87 gas, full hard bags and full tank, I
weigh 140

Thanks, all

10.50 is respectable for a newbie

This was the trip I enjoyed the most, but it was also one of the zx 12's slower times, he could ride.  Wish my reaction time was better.

Fun, I'm 909 in the left lane against a 172 hp zx 12

Not as much your reaction time as your 60ft time...

Not sure how you are coming up with that. The accepted formula is:

1/4 mile ET = 1/8 mile ET x 1.5832

1/4 mile ET = 7.01 x 1.5832
1/4 mile ET = 11.098

I have seen guys using 1.56 and 1.55 which will will give better 1/4 mile times. Even with the most giving of the numbers, the 1/4 mile time woiuld be 10.865.

I just looked through about a dozen of my slips. Throwing a high of 1.550 and a low of 1.552, all are 1.54x with an average of of 1.5435.

That would make his about 10.82 based on my numbers. There is a lot missing from the 60's so I suspect it might back half even better than me. I know I'm leaving a bit on the table in my 60's so that may be the reason my number don't fall into the 1.58xx range.

I would think with bars your 60 ft should be in the low 1.40's to high 1.30's or are they that bad because the tire is worn down?
