That’s not my feed but is pretty damn funny. I don’t plan on dragging the crap out of it but I have been enjoying it immensely. Now to start modding it 😃 ---

Instead of going to the faggot 1/8th mile track, look into the class that Spam teaches at and learn how to do more then just go fast in a straight line. They teach you AWESOME skills like avoiding faggots in cars who do stupid things, what to wear, etc etc. ---

I just googled stock drag times… high 11’s… low 12’s? yuck… It sucks that a 1200 cc buell cant match a 15 year old 600cc I-4 sportbike… I used to enjoy the hell out of drag racing the bike… screw quattro… hes bitter. BUTTTT advanced msf and road course track days are wellllll worth the investment. ---

Not bitter, just telling someone it’s a better idea to learn how to ride then going in the SIQQQQ SIQQQQ 1/8th mile at Lancaster. ---

It does suck, but the buell isnt designed for straight out speed. It’s for corners and handling and being something different, which it is. It accelerates well in the low end, but it has it’s limitations when you talk about top speed and 1/4 mile. I personally am plenty satisfied with it’s performance and don’t need to go 180mph. The new Buell 1190RS is a whole different matter. Aside from it’s high price, future models will be cheaper, but it’s performance is exactly where Buell’s should be. ---

> [@L8APEX1](#): > > I am brand new on it lol Also to get the best times, you have to launch it at about 5,000 and slip the clutch, and don’t flip it over which I’ve nearly done. ---

> [@LXIFLYBY](#): > > It takes skills to drag race a bike well. Post your timeslips or STFU No doubt it does fggt. But, I’d be more concerned with the important skills needed on a bike. You know, like what to do so you don’t become a smear on the pavement when some cunt pulls out in front of you. ---

Their harder bikes to launch because how much higher they sit and shorter they are . I have run mid 7s with my 2010 Buell firebolt XB12R. With some more practice I bet I could get a 7.20 out of it. I have seen a 900 firebolt with a exhaust run mid 7s [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/well-its-been-8-days/224535.md?page=1)
