Hey Everyone -
Earlier this year I bought a 1989 Katana 750 (100% Stock). A few weeks ago a group of us when down to the local drag strip on 'open racing' night to run our respective bikes and cars. It was my first time, and it was a BLAST. I highly recommend it. My third run was the best - here are the times. (200lb Rider)
Response Time: .207
60': 1.947
330': 5.147
1/8 mi: 7.864
1/8MPH: 90.43
1000': 10.250
1/4Mi: 12.270
1/4MPH: 111.30
I had several other runs that were in the low 12.3's at 110 to 112 miles per hour. I've seen some specs say the bike can get into the mid 11's, but I think that's optimistic. My 750 obviously can't keep up with the sport 600's or the 1100's (must of which were running low 11's at 120mph) but it was certainly respectable, and faster than a Dodge Viper that was there
Has anyone else been to the track lately? If so, how did you do?
