Keep in mind I am ignorant of all things Land Speed so I have already put on my flame suit.  No worries this time! 

Here is the question.  On the red bike, with the exhaust and body work that close to the ground, don't you run the risk of losing traction or control of the bike if it were to tip to that side from a wind gust or something.  Wouldn't it use the exhaust and body work as sort of a lever and cause an accident?

Other than that, it is good to see that the silly people are not just pinned up in the drag racing world.

Great YouTube !

Interesting comparison........

At 171 mph, the "400 HP" Busa was
slower than stock.

even with THAT swingarm, he was unable
to spin the tire.

Seemed like the Orange Bike either had shifting problems,
or the rider was unfamiliar with the "rev limiter" theory.

Like my Grandpa J always use to say "it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are an idiot rather than open your mouth and prove you are an idiot".
Have a Harley, spent lots of money on it, thought I had a fast motorcycle, bought a Busa, realized all I had was a fast Harley, not a fast motorcycle!
