It just smokes the other bikes. I couldn't catch the times or speed with all the background noise.

Looks and sounds impressive, but the times (low 11's?) are pretty dissapointing for the amount of $$$ spent.

The busas and ninjas that are turning in the 9's are running 190+ horses and a lot less weight. 11.03 for a Harley with a stock rear tire is very respectable.

Does he run the stock gearing? Might not be helping him any, if he is.

What about a 25yr old metric that weighs 600lbs with 110rwhp that turns 10's on a 140 tire?
Would that be respectable too?
(playing devil's advocate here)
It really reminds me of the kid in high school that put a blown 455 in his '72 Grand Prix.
It would boil the tires off the rims, but wouldn't break into the 13's at the track.
He did have the fastest '72 Grand Prix around though, so as long as he was racing '72 Grand Prix's he was KING!

Not clear why Metric bikes seems to pop into these conversations so often.

At the drag strip, all that matters is who crosses the finish line first.
