This is my dual duty street/track cbr1000rr. While I far prefer road racing, drag racing offers some cheap practice.
Currently running it stock wheelbase with a strap, pushing Into the 10s @140 mph. While it is running full bazzaz engine management, intake, full yoshi exhaust etc. I will probably move to an mr12 tune here soon and possibly build a long swing arm setup I can swap to as drag racing is quite fun.
Honda managed to make a bike that both scoots in the straights and turns like my other 600s. A fantastic machine!
Looks cool. Are you running with regular street tires on the track?
Depending on what I’m doing yes
The tires are not good, and I wouldn’t use them for road course. But they do okay on the street and at the strip and I’m too lazy to set up a set of wheels for drag racing (for now)
Would it make sense to have a dedicated drag bike if you’re going for low numbers?
It would 100% make sense
If I wanted to get into the singles I’d at least need a swing arm but I don’t want to comprise on the handleing for this specific bike since I make it fill many roles.
However, I’ve been debating doing a supercharged build on either a 08 gen cbr1000 or an old blackbird. I’m kind of itching to make a properly dumb drag bike now
(Edit) I also think its kinda neat to show what you can do on a stock wheelbase bike. I want to encourage more people to race at the strip and such.
Sold. I’ll take the TTR230. 16hp of air cooled fury on full knobs. Triple digit quarter mile times are fine right?
If you showed up to my local track on that you’d have a line of dudes who have 8 second bikes giving you tips and cheering you on.
Shit I’d be hype to play around with it and see just how fast you could actually get it going lmao
