Thread: 1/4 mile times

Took my new 08 hayabusa to a mustang event to see how it will do against my freinds 07 ZX-14 with exhaust,tre,straped front end. My bike is all stock. Just let out air pressure in rear to 25 psi. Rode sport bikes all my life but never raced them. Raced my mustangs and quads down the track. Track was wet at the end so 1/8 mile runs 4 times

Need alot more practice but had a good time trying

Very nice times for first outing. More seat time will do you loads of good. I've only made a couple passes on mine, never dragged a bike before either..but my 60's were much slower, all in the mid 2.x range. I was very scared of looping it off the line, only to find out on the last run the track was sketchy at best and could have launched a lot harder.

wow that is pretty good... One time my 1000rr pulled a 15 1/4 time stand up wheelie all the way shifted 1 then 2 then 3 it was awsome!!!

Good job, hoping I can run my bike for the first time this year

very nice

Yes hopefully run a couple time this year as well just need rest of saftey gear and finish upgrades first. Good starting point for times.

Congrats on first runs. Just keep going and having fun!!

Any vids or pics.

I don't have any video but have pics soon as they post them on mustang website at the line busa and zx14. Post them soon as I get them. My arms and legs are so sore from racing yesterday. My legs hurt the worse trying to pull them up when bike is accelerating.

Seat time is the key!! Very good for your first time out. It's better to start out easy and get faster than to rebuild your bike because you were not familiar with your bike. Keep it up and you'll be in the 9's pretty soon! Have you done anything to your bike?

It's all stock with 803 miles on it. I just let the air out of rear tire to 25 psi because my friend on the ZX 14 told me to do it. I only installed a kill switch thats it. I want to get exhaust, strap and tre and programmer for it soon.

Nice, some day I'll get to the track and see how slow I really am

I love going to the track. the feel of the G force off the line is the best feeling next to sex. My best time is 9.51@142 and 6.10 in the 1/8. 60 foot is 1.50. extending the swingarm 4" did help so much with the wheelie. 4" is not bad on the street. Lowered the back and straped the front helped too. Enjoy the big bike I think they are the best bike built. Two years of hard riding and not a minute of trouble. Have fun and be safe
