My buddy has a supercharged VMax with 15" wide rear end. I'll look for the pic I took of it, very cool bikes.

I almost went supercharged, but after driving a naturally aspirated V-Gas, that's the way I decided to go. It's bored & stroked from 1200 to 1500cc, shaved heads & cammed, and each carb is direct-injected into it's own cylinder (no more intake manifold).... 200+RWHP, and the nitrous & wheelie bars aren't on it yet.

yeah, that's crazy! I make ~90 on my 800lb scooter. 200hp naturally aspirated is amazing.

Tail of the dragon a few years back with my 06 ZX6R.

Here's hubby's dragon picture. I've not taken my own bike there, yet!

That is impressive...my 2005 GMC Extended Cab Z71 4x4 runs 7.15

Here's a link if you want to see it in action (videos)
5.3l runs ... [email protected] - PerformanceTrucks.net Forums

I couldn't imagine drag racing my bike...maybe I'd get low 12's?

Cool vid. Pretty impressive for a truck!

My problem with my bike is that it is stock and can't keep the front wheel down. I prefer real tracks (with corners) but do hit the drag strip once in a while for fun. The hard core dragsters extend the swing arm and strap the front so that they can hammer the throttle without worrying about the front tire coming up.
