RD Guy,
Unfortunately I disagree, a guy on a BMW S1000RR did 10.9 on the day. Yes the BMW can do 9.something, but the whole point is that it was ridden by a normal person who is not an expert at drag racing, he is hardly going to be doing the top spec for the bike straight away.
The point is, none of us are experts, I am assuming a normal person (not a drag race expert) who will try and get the right balance between pushing very hard but doesn't want to destroy their clutch...
To get an 11 time, on a stock FZ8, yes its just about possible but you would need to push very very hard (goodbye clutch) and have been there a number of times, alongside a perfect run and the guy being not particularly big. Next time I go, I will be trying for low 12s. For 11s it would need to be with my clutch being on its last legs and about to be replaced anyway.
Nonetheless - whatever on your times, I never thought drag racing would be sooooo much fun! 3 of us on bikes went and it was a blast. Great one off fun
