I'm not sure what it runs, but I am sure I will go to the track at least once or twice this year. I will try and report back.
For some, performance is more important than looks. Some pefer looks over performance. I prefer alittle of both. Its not a matter of age, its a matter of interest.

I think that depends on what you call "serious engine work" and what your idea of "1/4 mile machine" is. I wouldn't doubt you could get one in the mid 12s with some minor stuff like cams, pipes, intake, and dyno tune(assuming all the parts work well together). I think that a 12 sec cruiser would be enough for most people, I don't think he was wanting a all out drag bike.

Obviously you have not experienced a trip down the strip. I had a GTO that started out in the 15's and continued messing with it until it ran 11's. I haven't been in years and I miss it enough I might just take the bike or mama's Alitima this year.
Agreed!
dude if you don't have useful info for this tread don't even post smart azz staff,there is a plenty of people that want have a fun on the track with their bikes,so if you are not interested in that doesn't necessarily mean that all other guys that want to have a fun on the track are irresponsible idiots
.

I think ko4qc was just makin a funny. Ya see them little symbols at the end of his post that look like a smiley face. I reckon that means his comment was tongue in cheek. Thats the way I took it anyhow. Dont think he was tryin to be a douche, but what the hell do I know?
