It takes no brain to deduce stock bike's don't hook out of the hole - go to any dragstrip that allows bikes and watch 95% of the squids either bog or almost drop their bikes. Put a slick and wheelie bar on a top-end power bike and I guess the launch gets worse or something?
You're a bright guy when you talk about things you know and understand, Johnny. Leave the drag racing to people who actually do it.

launching a i4 bike is one of the hardest things in drag racing, launching a harley is easy

You may have taken one of your stock bikes down the track 5 times, Johnny. I spend whole days with people who rent tracks out for a day to dial their car in, doing nothing but fine adjustment nd critiquing everything from tune to suspension to driver. I think I know the basics of advanced drag racing, thanks.

Re: Deal or no deal? -Streetbike
when the jap liter bikes go 100mph in first gear, its kinda hard to launch them even with a wheelie bar, it takes a lot of clutch action to get a good launch. very difficult.
they don't even bother with wheelie bars on sport bike dragsters they just stretch the hell out of them.
go ahead and put a wheelie bar on your otherwise stock zx14, then rev it to 10k and dump the clutch bog and run 11 flat @ 145mph lmao
