U.S 131 Dragway test and tune

[BRandx51]

Hello all, hope everyone has been safe.

 

Since I live just a few miles from 131 Drag-way in Michigan I took the bike for some runs during the test and tune night (25$ entry in case anyone is interested) I only did 6 runs and my 1st was the best of the night

 

12.9 @101

13.1

13.2

15.6 (don't ask)

13.0

13.2

 

I was not able to find much info on the 2nd Gen RSV performance stats and the one site I did find listed the 1/4 mile at 13.66 @93 mph. I bought the bike 2nd hand and it's got 35000 miles on it but as far as I know it's stock. I was running just the lower bagger shield and I weigh 160lb soaking wet, the 13.66 time listed above was for a 99 RSV, did they make any changes to the bike from 99 to 07? I wasn't aware of any but I'm trying to figure out why mine would run that much better (more than a second is pretty decent I think)

 

Also I was fairly impressed, this bike ain't that bad for a 850 pound beast! A night at the drags would make a cool event as well, just saying

Quiet, there's some people here that think the 1st:cool10: gen. is faster.

OH, no doubt they are, the 2 gen is pretty heavy compared to a first gen from what I've heard. my 07' is not as bad as I thought it would be is all =)

Very impressive et and mph compared to magazine number.

Very respectable,

 

If you go again stop by the car lot and let me know I would like to see how mine does.
