That Chubby spanked him! I'd like to know what bike he was on.........somewhat an embarrassment to the race.

This bike is set up very close to mine (no internal motor mods)........that's about all the little 990 cc v-twin's got to move the 400 lbs + rider.

I just love it when a car beats a bike. OR in this case.. SMOKES IT!!

Looks like a SV650, all 65hp of glory. No surprises there

Superduke FTW!

Reminds me of when SW and I were headed to the restaurant --- in his twin turbo Ferrari -- he jumps on it not knowing there was a bike along side… next thing you know the bike is jumping on it and just gets SMOKED… WE got a good laugh out of that 'cause we weren't even aware of the bike!

The '57 was pretty fast regardless of what bike that was.

I sold my '56 to a buddy who is going to run it at BJ in January -- I was texting with him on Sunday 'cause he was under it cleaning with a Q-tip… and I asked if he'd driven it much… and he's saying -- yeah -- and that it was powerful as hell and launches straight as an arrow… (which I already knew of course)… And about how some new SRT challenged him and he wasted the guy (they're not quick or fast - in fact having owned one - they suck).

For whatever reason -- guys always think the "old cars" are still running around with 283's in them. HA!

Man that 57 can move. It's not easy to beat a bike from a dig like that even if it is just an SV650. I sure hope it's a 650 anyway. It could have been a 1000 but those aren't slow. Just don't wheelie either one.

Yep ^^^^, that fitty7 hooked up. He was just gone. Love to see that up against the Katoomer (KTM super duke 990). A lot of people think bikes are all that and a box of crackers, but power and puttin it down are two different animals. Like to see them try that against a modded 'busa as well...(Suzuki Hayabusa, build for goin straigt)

That was my thought, any respectable 750/1000 cc wouldn't have been that embarrassing.

From legit tests and other sources a bike modded like my SDR should run 10.3ish in the 1/4 with a 180 lb rider.

Showing my retentiveness here, but note the absence of a clutch master cylinder = 650. Thou's are hydraulic clutch

Against a 'real' bike...

....one thing I know from experience, it'll hurt less in the Civic or McLaren
