That was back when you could buy REAL GAS!!! The "new" gas formulas with all the junk just don't produce the out put the old stuff did. If you can turn a mid 12 second time, you are doing well on a stock bike. If you are GOOD, you may get down to the very low 12's.....Ads back in it's day bragged that it would run 11.75 in the quarter.Ray Matteis

Was that pass made AFTER all your mods were complete?Originally posted by aussixs11G View Post
If my tired old memory serves me correctly, that's one BADDD motorscooter you got there...
IIRC, isn't that the bike that dyno'd around 100 hp on the video recently?
If so... that's a swEEEEEttt scoot!
And Ray.... You got that right!!! Gas sure ain't what it used to be...
Were the slower ET's due to traction loss? Just curious...'82 XJ1100J Maxim (has been sold.)

No Kidding! I used to use a bowl of gas to wash out my oiled filter on my dirt bikes and to wash the grease off of my hands. Now, you get a drop on you and you smell that crap for days!Gas doesn't smell the same either.
