Re: Can't find any info on drag racing 929's

I was just wondering if anyone out there has any results for 'real world' numbers for the 929 on the drag strip. I have gone a few weeks now (open track nights) and with a stock bike, minus two bros slip on, I was able to get a 10.7 at 133.

I know my 60' times are reasonable, but not great with a 1.83. If anyone has an experience if these numbers are good, please let me know.

It's hard to get 'real world' numbers since the magazines and dealers have 'track' riders to get their base numbers.


Thanks
David

you might want to try motorush.com and find Taz. I believe way back in the day, he started drag racing his 929. Not 100% sure, as my memory is bad.

Mid to high 10's in the 130's seems to be what I hear the most.

Sounds about right. I SUCK and pulled 11.2's at 129mph. Friend of mine saw 10.2 on lightly modifed 929, he's alot better a rider than I can hope to be.
