And I would believe it spins going into 5th - 160 seems reasonable with a top recorded speed of 211.

Yep, that is a cool bike. But it is NOT a KZ! And you realize that my bike runs on pump gas, not alcohol... And does not have a turbo pushin 23psi. I ride mine on the "street" it's not a track only bike. It is bad ass for a GPZ, but it ain't a KZ. And next time try comparing apples, not apples and oranges lmao!

1230cc ain't RELIABLY streetable. Yes, you may be able to ride on the street, but you know what I mean.

Typicaly people extend the swingarm for wheelie control, and some people like the look. You do lose some traction as well as hp when you extend the swingarm but most of the time if you are going to drag race the bike the pros out weigh the cons. As far as comparing a turbo bike to a non turbo bike, You can't that is fu#cking stupid. That is like comparing todays liter bikes to 70's and 80's 8 valve oil cooled bikes, get real. And yes you can build a 1200cc,1230cc,1260cc,1327,cc etc etc motor that is very streetable and very relieable , it just depends how deep your pockets are and who is building the motor.

84 GPz750 Turbo, air cooled KZ750 motor, and it sure was his street bike, although I think he's retired it now, and it was running on gasoline. Storm is a pure drag bike.

And he's more than willing to discuss his build, and help others achieve the same. 75/810 air cooled motor with 256 hp to the ground.

Of course stretching the swing arm lowers traction, 8th grade science class explained that, the swing arms are stretched to try and keep the front end down, can't go very fast if the bike keeps flipping over backwards. With people running the 200 series Shinko drag tires lack of traction is not a problem

Air cooled KZ1000 based motor, compared to air cooled KZ750 based motor is talking apples and oranges ???


And I'm still trying to figure out how you could possibly not know that stretching the swing arm lowers traction at the rear wheel by removing weight from it.

By the way, what kind of response were you expecting to a "I know something and you don't, and I'm not going to tell you, na-na-na-na" attitude?? Just curious.

Here we go again, it's like the nitrous vs NA wars all over again, "If you don't do it my way then it don't count!!". Nitrous, turbo, or NA, it's all about power, just three different ways of getting there.

It's all good. If anyone has a ? abt my bike, just ask. It's not a big secret, I don't mind giving advice or answering ?'s. And as far as the not reliable comment, my bike runs at 180° & holds abt 7-8# of oil pressure @ idle. So it is very reliable, but it likes to lunge a bit w/big cams when rollin through town. And it's ok to like someone elses bike, but why talk sh#t about mine? If you think my bike sux, it's cool. I built it for ME, and I don't understand why people compare it to somethan that ain't theirs. Thx to all of you that like the bike!

The I'm not telling answer was mine and it's called sarcasm, seeing how he and I both said what he has done to the motor in his build thread. Comparing a bike with a power adder to a n/a one is apples to oranges regardless of size. As for 1230cc being streetable I've ridden it and it has better manners than my bike does. The video was posted because I thought it was neat and if you watch it close you would probably realize how much traction he still had based on the speed he picked up with the tire spinning. Oh and if you think wheelies wouldn't be a problem on his bike with a shorter arm then you'd be wrong since even 10" over it will still get t up on one.

There you go little brother!

CAUTION: TOP SECRET LOBE CENTERS AT WORK

DO NOT ENTER: NO WEIGHT ON REAR TIRE [/quote]

You're right there's no weight on the back tire. Must be why most drag bikes run some type of stretched arm so they can lose traction. That explains my friends busa with a 12" over that runs 8.6-8.8 1/4's @ 160 plus on street tires, maybe if he went 6" over and got some traction back he could get in the 7's. What top secret stuff did you do to your motor NADS to keep it from running? Was it maybe hogging out the ports with a 3/8" burr bit? Or was it the little wimpy .285 cams? While it may not be impressive to some I think it's pretty good. So NADS, in conclusion, Put your helmet on and take that retarded shit down the road.[/quote]
the reason i brought up the amount of stretch on the swingarm is that the farther you set the wheel back away from the motor the less weight youre putting on it,which is why race bikes that run that much of a stretch run a soft tire which is basically the same compound as sponge rubber to get them to hook up. :woohoo:
if that tire was about 5-6" closer to the motor with a little weight on it ,youd find yourself looking at the sky everytime you cracked the throttle at 45mph.
its a nice build,just trying to explain the reasoning behind the spinning tire is all.
as far as a busa running 8.6s on a street tire theres a world of differance between a shinko roadrace slick with grooves cut in it to get it to pass a dot certification and an off the shelf metzeler or just about any other tire for that matter :woohoo:

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE would stretch a dragbike if it did not help with the traction... nope wait a second, ur right... i did it so i could do burnouts at 40 and look cool, no need to put power to the ground:laugh:

you might be suprised just how much some of us know about fast streetbikes ! :woohoo: the first time i built this bike it had basically same motor as yours but with a 900 crank and smaller carbs with a stock length swingarm,yeah i know a little about smoking tires and mind boggling wheelies. :laugh:
my 1980 1000/1327 used to run a best of 6.18 in the 1/8 with a 3" over swing arm and no wheelie bar
maybe one day the ol 1385 turbo nitrous bike will get finished,then i can perfect a 100 plus mph burnout also! :woohoo:

All I still have to say is WOW and nice rides.
