I have what I think is a fast bike for its age. 1987 1000 Hurricane. I have launched it down the 1/4 mile track here and know how many mph it will do acording to my speedo. What I would like to know, is there someone here that has actualy been clocked on this bike, that has the figures? Will this 1000 Hurricane run in the 10's? I am pretty much stock with only an after market exhaust.
Thank's B/T

 

just for comparison, a guy in our bike club ( the fastest one so far) has a 05 GSXR 1000 and is running a 10.8 at 130 another has a RC51 with NOS and is running a 11.2 at 125.

the GSXR is modded ALOT though too

 

130? Holy crap thats flying.. I have turned 115 but have no idea what the e/t is.

 

115 if you are launching decent should put you around 11.6-11.8 in the quarter. The hurricane you ride was corrected to like a 10.80 with a professional rider so you would be doing good to run an actuall 11.30 or so. Proably around 120 mph.

 

okay im am just gunna laugh in that guys face..cause he can not ride if hes only gettin that new gsrx to 10.8. i have timeslips from my 600rr gettin 10.78 at 125. stock.. now that i just my new tire on the back and a strap in the front. i will be under 10.5. i will post the slip after i go this coming wednesday.

 

yes, sorry to say but your friends dont know how to race....if they could improve on their abilities, then they would see alot faster times...

I went 10.77 @ 130mph on my 03' R6 with a slip-on and a strap....

And I have a friend that went 9.8x at 14X mph on a 01 GSXR1000 that was very close to stock...

 

i didnt say we were pro or anything.. but this was our second run at the strip.

Chris - 10.475 @ 137.48 - GSXR 1000
Gilbert - 10.73 - RC51
Gary - 10.802 @ 130.47 - GSXR750
Nick - 12.26 @ 119.30 - R6
Jimbo - 12.731 @ 101.49 - HD Sportster XL1200

sorry the gsxr 750 is the one that is modded alot and he just ran a 10.6 the 1000 is stock..the r6 was his first time ever running too.

 

alot better time, but still room for improvment as always!

 

oh yeah thats the fun of it.. but you notice my bikes not on there i havent ran it yet.. but tommorrow is the big test so we will see what the dinosaur can do.

 

Ok, you young Cowboys need to fill this old fart in on something. You are talking about a front strap. I think I just put that together. Does that help keep the front end down? If so what do I need to get and what areas on the front end do I hook it to? A picture would sure help me. I said I was turning around 115 but my biggest problem was keeping the fornt down in 1st/2nd and sometimes 3rd.
As soon as you kids are done laughing at my stupidity please fill me in.
Thanks, BT
