Bishopscourt drag day a few months back.
The fastest car was OMA's 900hp Granda with 11.9
The second fastest time all day was a ZZR1400 with 10.49
4wd always gets a good launch, i think OMA's Subaru Legacy car do 10 seconds flat.
A fast bike is hard to launch well as my bike will wheelie off the throttle in 2nd gear, first gear full thottle is unusable and it does 105mph in 1st, 126mph in 2nd so its only 3rd on you don't have to try to keep the front down.
Here is my worst run from that day as I forgot about keeping the front down!!!!
Stevie doesn't get very good traction, I think his best 1/4 is in the mid 9's with good traction. That's better than any showroom bike (afaik)
Bikes are good on the straights but easily outclassed on brakes and corners by good cars.
I gave up bikes after 17 years, last one was a zx12 and then totally hateful (in comparison) zx10 because my brother near killed himself when he was hit by a car on the wrong side of the road. Have had everything from an mt50, kr1s, rd350 ypvs5, Rd500, rg500 gamma, gsxr 1100 then the kwaks
