Yea, I didn't see it but being a V-Rod owner, I certainly heard alot about it. I have seen that show (Pinks) a few times, and I think the show is stupid. Personally, I think the show is a "put on". No one in their right mind would bet their $18,000 Harley against a $4,000 (if that) Suzuki.

Anyway, if you want to see bikes drag race, check out the NHRA and Vance and Hines V-Rod kick the hell out of the Suzukis. [sm=americanasmiley.gif]

I got to thinking about this and hadn't posted in awhile. So, I'll throw my $0.02 in. The Suzuki GS1100 is (was) a darn fine motorcycle. Very strong motor and saw alot of drag racing action back in the day. Was this GS stock? Don't remember if it was mentioned in the show, however unless I was confindent in my racing technique, it would be a cold day before I'd bet my V-Rod.
Racing (drag) is 99.98% technique when it comes to closley matched bikes. Had the V-Rod owner's skills been a little sharper, the out come might have been different.

Like I said...my $0.02

Back.....
