This is one reason that 'Funny Bikes' were outlawed at the Drags years back. Funny bikes are 4 cyl, large displacement, blown/injected running on 90+% nitro. They are Kawasaki / Suzuki based. Think Pro-stock Jap bikes with another 700+ HP. These bikes were running low 6 second 230mph+ in the 1/4 mile.
There were more than a few accidents and most were fatal largely because of the speed. As technology progressed so did the ET's and MPH until finally the tracks could not let the Funny bikes race anymore as liabiltiy insurance was unobtainable with these machines.
