Thread: 1/4 Mile; '32 Ford versus a Harley???

Tweet

Actually a bike has a hard time gettin outa the hole ,front end rise and no traction,and in a 1/8 mile has less time to make that up.A well set up car with slicks or good wide tires will pull em off the line every time.A bike needs rpms to produce power and in the 1/8 there is less time to do that.Unless the bike is set up to launch and rap fast,the 1/8 will not be his friend.Bike guys get a little scared of going all the way over,soo they take a little easy on the launch and use there light weight to make up that time.Ricers like nuthin better than to beat a bike .Goto ,streetfire.com, videos and look at all the 300 to 500 hp hyabusas gettin spanked by rice.
