I have owned several bikes over the years. Try taking a "10 second" bike on paper to the strip and see what you can run. They pay pro's who take sevral runs to get those times. I had a GSXR that was a 10 second bike stock. I put on race tires and a Vance & Hines stage three kit, and could barely break into the high 10's after several runs. Having to battle wheel lift while trying to hit your shift points is tough.
