My brother Jeff, who is tuner extrordinoir, built this drag bike out of spare parts he had laying around. Someone on the tech forum suggested i post it here for all to see. Most drag bikes that run in the mid 5's are built Hayabusa's with 40 grand in them. This is a stock 750 FI motor, no NOS or even a power comander. He helps me tune my 911 to.

Nice work, he should be very proud. It's cool that you are proud of him as well, I wish that my brother shared my gear head disease.
It's a really good-looking drag bike also.

Sure. Everything on this bike is literally hand fabricated. It is a stock 07 GSXR 750 FI engine, sitting in a modified ninja 600 frame, a 80 dirt bike front end and a large dirt bike rear swing arm. As you can see from the pics its all about power to weight. It ran a 9.30 at 140+ mph in the 1/4 at memphis motor sports park. Shifting is done by a combo of electrics and air. As I write this he is building a 900 Kawasaki for our younger brother Mike. Fabrication is almost done, and then finally assembly. It is going to be a piece of rolling art, and I'm sure pretty fast

This thread is useless without pictures of time slips.

Beautiful bike and great fabrication. It is a work of art. In watching the video, I'm amazed and impressed at the guys riding the drag bikes.

It is impressive. If you ever get to know a group of pro mod drag bike racers, you know after a bit that they are a differnt breed. The video dosent do justice, in person it looks insane. It hits 60 mph in 1.38 seconds.

Drag racing is not real racing. It does not require any skill at all.

No skill all? Geez, can you jump in a car and control it going over 210 miles per hour in a 1/4 mile in 8 seconds ? It took me a while to build up to that, started at 21, got smart and quit at 35. a lot of skill involved, and balls. I bet just the sound of Jeff's bike would scare you, much less watching you take it down the track.

I am not into drag racing, but that bike is a nice piece of work.

No worries. There are a lot of snot nosed idjits on exotic european car forums that scoff at anything related to drag racing.
I was basically mocking them with my green text. I think it takes a lot of skill and balls as big as a house to make a run on a drag bike. |
