How mighty is the Busa?

One of our local guys ran a 10.6@130 on the rear wheel just this weekend. They had an all bike drag day at the Mirimichi drag strip in NB. One of the classes was a "wheelie" class. And that is where he pulled off a faster quarter than my bike is capable of.. On the rear wheel..

Sounds about right. Any idea what extras he had on it?

Impressive.

It's one thing to pull off a 1/4 mile wheelie OR a 10 second pass.

To do both takes some skill.

Oh shit....my reading skills fail today. You said on the rear wheel twice and I just ignored it.

I change my answer to: Damn. Any idea what extras he had on it?

That is nuts.
For comparison, motorcycleusa.com did the same thing with a TLS, and it would only do a mid 12 on the back wheel.

I love my bike, especially when it is trying to rip my arms out.

Any pics of this event?

You can just look on that site, or I can link em at some point..
