    MCN reports 2018 Goldwing runs the quarter at 12.86. Cycle world tested the F6B at 11.84. I think that a lot of guys might be faster on a DCT than a manual shift. Unless you've drag raced alot most of the time you can't take advantage of the full potential of the machine. On a manual shift most guys won't watch the tach and shift at redline. They will short shift and lose to a guy that races regularly. They may have the fastest bike but lack in drag racing skills. On a DCT they can realize the bikes potential because the transmission is determining the shift points. No watching the tach needed. According to the sources above , I think that one second differential would be hard to overcome. I believe the F6B would spank that 1833.

    I don’t believe this was my best run of the night. I’d have to look back through my time slips. You can see me float the tire a bit on the launch. Watching my brother walk away on the bmw was frustrating. Years back my dad ran his full wing and couldn’t get it into the 12’s to save his life.

    Thanks! I just hope no one notices I jumped the tree by a few thousandths.......shhhh


    The E4’s hook nice. That was a colder day and early on a test and tune night. Not much heat or rubber in the track. I usually line up on just the inside of either rear tire track.

    No. K1200GT with 140k on the clock. Runs like a top and doesn’t burn oil.

    LOL
    Being prepared is always a good thing. Know your enemy right I think you know, I am always willing to run! Bring it big Daddy. I would really like to get on a closed circuit and have some video and pictures of our runs. Just having played with you this past weekend I truly believe that it will be close either way. I am thinking a bike to bike and a half length difference....either way.
    A long hot summer awaits us. Always looking to play.
