Re: Has anyone run a 1/4 Mile on their Monster
Now where talkin, I was wondering when this subject would come up.
I'd love to give my Duc a run down the 1/4, but unfortunately no Drag Strip in PNG. A mate of mine is an electronics whizz, & we're working on a week end drag strip timer set up on one of the old runways at the airport.
i really didn't think the Monster would be as quick as that, but i must say, i am pleasantly supprised.
Can't wait to get our little home made setup going & will definately let you know the result.
Low 10's at 120mph terminal is a real good run, he must have got off the line well.
i've had fast cars most of my younger life, but this is my first bike, so forgive my ignorance..................................................but how do you get off the line quickly? Obviously you cant jump off the clutch at 6000 or you'd be on your a$$, i'm told it's all clutch controll, but after a couple of attempts on the street, it doesen't appear easy! what's the theory behind the practice?
I saw a guy on a GSXR1100 about 10 years ago run a 9.89sec 1/4 on his street bike that he rode to the drag strip & raced & he never even got the front wheel off the ground running these times........i guess that's clutch controll.
