I’m pretty sure if it can’t compete it can’t fun run. That would be an insurance nightmare if something were to happen. \<— ex SCCA safety steward. PM rushman to find out for sure. ---

> [@Quattro Krant](#): > > Now, I know NOTHING of sport bikes/fast bikes, etc etc so if this is a dumb question I’m sorry. But, would a stock Hayabusa or GSX-R or R1 be faster then the T-Rex? If they are it just puts in to perspective just how fast they are as this is pretty damn fast. my guess is a liter bike would beat it. liter bike=less weight. ---

A liter would destroy it… i doubt this thing would even be in modern 600 territory to be honest (as they are well into the 10s now) That rear tire looks huge and putting down ~180 hp based on a zx-14 with all the extra weight… i think it would be a massacre (in favor of the sportbike) Fun factor for 2 up riding, obviously goes to the trex though… comfort of a seat \> a bike. 0-60 in 3.5 is fast for a car, but for a bike, its quite easy to get to 60 in a little over 2 seconds… ---

Bottom line, it looks fun as hell. Still wondering if it’s going to Dunnville or if it would even be allowed on track. ---

If you can stop it from wheelieing, its a non issue to get to 60 that quick… liter bikes esp. figure that almost all new liter’s are ~400 lbs… and put down about 160 whp… sub 10 sec 1/4 at around 145 mph… roll on 60-80 and 80-100 are in the the 2sec range… (without shifting out of 6th) :lol: Bikes are silly ---

I never did get the Bandwagon of the hayabusa and zx-14… seriously the only thing they offer over a liter bike is comfort (which is that great), weight (so they dont wheelie as easy), and lastly top speed (which to me, 160 is plenty fast, and if I cant trap it in the 1/4 mile, its unnecessary when we’re talking about racing)… Josh, let me know if you ever decide to take it to the drag strip. Id love to see it run ---

My guess is it would turn a mid to high 12 on a decent run with a novice rider. Id imagine at best it would be a low 12, MAYBE… maybe a high 11… (which has to feel damn fast from a seated position) ---
