IS IT POSSABLE TO GO UNDER 11?Comment

And the age thereof!Depends on the rider.
It's funny how my SF feels so much faster now than it did 20 years ago!

I think the specials were rated in the high 11's but thought I read somewhere that in 79 they had acheived high 10's (not sure)Ernie

stockers
78's would do 11's with an XSperienced rider.
79's should be very close to same.
80's+ most likely 13's and maybe a little better with a jockey like operator.
On a modified XS (the hot rod XS) PO said it turned 10.4 in the quarter
Personally not into tracks or drag strips. Was "practicing" starts on the street in front of my shop awhile back and doing some wheelies in first and second...wound up cracking the clutch basket
. The hot rod (after pulling the carbs several times and adjusting floats, trial/error) has a lot more power than a stocker.

The '81 SHOULD be able to do about a 12.5 in the 1/4, if you are about 170 pounds. The '78 would do 11.8 to 11.9 with almost anybody on it, back in '78. The fuel is different today, and the range AND performance suffers because of it.Ray Matteis

Hey, tiredoffixing... you might want to take the cap locks off on your keyboard. In a forum, all caps looks like you are screaming everything and it's a bit annoying.
Just a suggestion.
TodTry your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

Back in 1987 my friend who owned a dealership in NJ took my SG and his 79(i believe it was a SF) up to a drag strip by where i live.He told me both bikes turn mid 10's but fell to a Suzuki GS1150 set up for the strip.Mind you this was back in 87 and my friend at that time couldn't have weighed more than 160lbs.Depends on the rider.1980 XS1100 SG
