0-60 in how long?

[MAXIMAN]

4 1/2 seconds...or thereabouts. I've clocked myself. And that's with a full fairing.

cycle world

cycle world test on the hyabuussa,0-60 in 1.5 sec, 1/4 8.65 at 165 mph, top speed 200 (on the 1999,slightly less on later years).Holly cow the new rice burnners 600cc bikes are doing the 1/4 in under 11 sec. well right at 11sec. were does it end?But mine is still more comffy at any speed,and i'm able to ride it more than 2 miles at a time

the hyabuussa,0-60 in 1.5 sec

That is certifiably NUTZ!

Alot of that time has to do with the driver. If you've ever ridden a Busa then you know the damned thing is virtually impossible to keep the nose down.

At 80 mph in 5th if you WOT the front wheel will come off. And if you fool enough to stay with it, it will simply come back over on you.

The fastes I've ever done 0-60 was a 1986 ZL900 Eliminator. 2.8 seconds and that scared the dawg squeeze outta me.

According to the Febuary 79 issue of cycle world,the special did 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds and ran the quarter mile in 12.0@114 mph and did 129 after a half mile.The same magazine list the 78 as two tenths quicker,the 80 special @12.05 and the 81 special @11.90.

I race mine at our Dragstrip every month, Races start again this Saturday. Best time to date (with ok air) 12.60, 106mph. With the elevation factor, I think this is spot on for the times the Cycle World stated back in the day. Average run is 12.8-12.9 at arond 105. Made it through a whole season last year with no trans failure....hmmm

Those times generated by Cycle World were run at Orange county California.You can if you wish,get the altitude factor from the NHRA,they are on the internet.The test pilots on those magazine bikes are little guys and on motorcycles every twenty five pounds is a tenth.What are your 60 ft. times? I've got a lot of information relating to what you are trying to do,I'll share it with you if you are interested. Bracket racing on a bike is a lot of fun and relative to racing cars, it's cheap.

[XS1100DRAGRACER]

It would be great for more information. I raced the entire season last year and I did win one race, but no other rounds. I would like to make my bike lighter, not to make it faster, just easier on the engine and transmission and more consistent. Thanks.

[XS1100DRAGRACER]

Sorry, 60 foots in the 1.8 to 1.9 range. I weigh in about 200-210 and the bike weighs 590.

[Czekus21]

That's just freakin fast.

[XS1100DRAGRACER]

I am the slowest bike on the Race Team, but its still pretty quick for a heavy, shaft driven, 25 year old Bike.

weight loss

I looked into reducing some of the XSs XS weight and discovered that I could lose 20lbs (240lb with gear) a lot easier than the XS could. Most of the XSs weight is in the motor and drive system. The wheels are pretty heavy also. I am currently working on a project to fit R1 tires, wheels and front forks to an XS chassis. It will most likely be chain drive. With all that, it is still only going to be around 30lb less than stock.

[XS1100DRAGRACER]

As far as using the XS to race mostly, what do you think the benefit would be to remove one of the front Brake Calipers and Rotors? I haven't weighed them yet, just curious if it would be worth it. To make it look right, I should machine the attaching points off the Forks from the side that I removed the caliper from.

[Dennyz]

For a pure drag race bike, I would do away with the front brake all together. You have the whole run-out area to slow down. But, that is me!

For any driving on the street, I would leave both front brakes in place.

[Dennyz]

I just weight the front brake parts of an "F" model

Rotor - 6lb 14oz stock
Rotor - 6lb 3oz drilled
Caliper and mount - 3lb 2oz
Master Cylinder - 2lb 4oz.

So, removing the front brakes would take off a little over 22lbs (if my figuring is correct).

Without the brakes, a lighter front wheel would be easier to mount up. I wonder is a wire wheel from a XS650 is lighter?

[XS1100DRAGRACER]

Its definately a good idea.......
