Drag Racing

[EvoL]

Anybody taken the Panigale drag racing? I took mine tonight about 45 mins away to the 1/4 track to see how I would do. It was my first time ever at he drag strip with a bike. Needless to say I did pretty poor

Best time was 10.90 @ 143

My 60' was a best of 2.1

I think I have seen the Panigale is able to do low 10's at 150+?

High 10's is never a bad run

Looks like you had a lot of fun!

Nice....I was thinking of trying this out because a few suckers want to test me.

Our track here shut down early, the promoter passed away un expectedly. So I didn't get to run mine, I was looking forward to seeing what it would do. How much do you weigh and how many passes did you make? Last year I hurt the clutch on my V11 Sport flogging it through the 1/4 and they are a real chore to swap out. At least the DUC clutch is accessible. Steve

Im 185lbs and I made 4 passes. It was crowded, as it usually is. I don't think the clutch is a worry after 4 launches. Im sure it can take some abuse.

Done some passes at our local 1/8 mile.
6.9 @ 112mph with 1.8 60ft and 0.02 rt was my best so far.
No straps, nothing lowered. DTC off

Wanna do 1/4 too, nothing really close

Nice! I should have turned DTC off - I didn't even think of it until the ride home.

I didn't even have time to think once staged. Once I was in position I had 2 seconds to get the revs right (which I had no idea where to put them haha).

Ill do better next time!

Nice run and good job keeping that front end down.

Get your 60' times down to 1.8-1.9 and you will see low 10's at with that MPH!

Whats the highest trap speed we've seen?

I could have sworn I saw somewhere a 150+ run, but maybe its in my head.
