basically stock 87 sportster with recent rebuild anda 1200 conversion. slight bump in compression too.
my buddy who's never taken a bike down the track will be driving. he's probably 150lbs. i'll be racing my car soi'll tryto get a pass or two.
not sure what to expect, my car runs 6.7's, guessing 8.8's for the sportster. i know its not fast, but should be interesting.

"Your car ran an 11.83 in the 1/4 hate to tell you this but that aint 6.7 in the 1/8. I had a 69 camaro with a 350 that ran 6.8 in the 1/8th and it turned 10.40 quarter mile times. "
His car ran 11.83 on the first run shown but ran 10.68 on the second run shown. Also he is expecting to run 10.40 next time he runs the 1/4. So it can be running 6.7 in the 1/8.
"WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK THE ZERO TO 60 TIME FOR ASTOCK 1200 SPORTY IS?? SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT 60 IN 2ND GEAR. "
A new 1200 Sportster should be able to do 0-60 in 4.5 to 5.0 seconds depending on how good therider is. It should run the 1/4 in about 13.4 to 13.8@98 to 99 mph. In a 1/4 mile run the mph will be pretty constant no mater how good the rider is at launching but the et can vary all over the place depending on the riders ability.
