Here is a KZ based mini bike that runs a 1400cc big block that was built out of spare parts. Its does 10 second 1/4 miles passes on a JR Dragster slick and is owned/built by Top Fuel racer Ron Meyers.

I hate the commentary on these Cycle Drag videos, but here is the link :

When you campaign a 6 second drag bike 10 seconds is slow.

Here is a updated ET list for Top Fuel :

 

They use to have a MPH list but I can't find it, current MPH record is from 2022 when Larry McBride went 268.

A lot of these guys still doing Top Fuel are older, most are 60 plus some are pushing 70. It takes a lot of $$$ to keep the bikes running.

And a lot of skill and the stones to run 6 seconds at well over 200mph!
