These records were in or about 1980 Enlarge picture to read numbers 8.30s
And were for different classes with different cc motors to fit a class
As small as 900cc to 1200cc
The bike is the first one in this post from me .
Not bad for 43 years ago
Our 12 inch tired bike was quicker and faster
Horserpower Zed quotes is a fair number
But we sometimes ran a lot of Nitrous which was a great way to torch a motor
Hope this helps

Re: Lost a Giant
16 Dec 2023 05:53I would agreeI know a guy local to me who developed his own Z1 based Kawasaki Top Fuel bike, he said the stock cases/head are good to about the 400-450 HP range before they become unreliable.Amazing, I can only imagine it. I'm also impressed by how durable the parts of these engines are.The green Orient Express turbo funny i posted is dyno'd at 250hp with 30psi boost and runs 8.2 quarters at 170mph.I see that those engines are really powerful. Sorry for asking silly questions, but how many horsepower do those machines have? What speeds do they reach and in how many meters? It's just that we don't have anything like that here. Thank you.
