Donohu make it really simple for the guy, tell him to throw a couple hundy on a race, if he wont tell him to shut it. If he will, take is money and tell him to shut it.

 

We tried to get him to come to the strip to settle it but he never came

 

I know what you mean about people talking smack and not being able to back it up. I get tired of it. Generally the people that do most of the smack talking are the ones usually with the least experience. Such is life.

I cant say how the 1987 Kaws run, however my father used to race pro-stock bike back in the mid 1970s. He (and his brother Ken) started on a pair stock Kawasaki 750 H 2 Mach IV two stroke triples in 1975. In full dressed stock trim they ran pretty impressive times (mid 12s). The stock chassis bikes weighed ~465+ lbs. and keeping the front end down under hard launches became an issue so they made wheelie bars for the stock frames. Being able to dump the clutch at full song they were able to get them to dip into the 11s. Poor quality slicks on the chassis put them in the low 11s. Soon afterwards they built the the pro-stock chassis bikes they became well known for. The same stock engines on the lighter frames with a quality M&H Racemaster 4" slick would run mid 10s all day long and keep the bike on the wheelie bars through 4th gear.
Finally my dad did some internal work (cut the piston skirts a bit, did some carb tuning, and sprocket changing) and the bike would consistently run low 10s even on the worst of days.
In 1979 my dad cut a great light and kept the bike on the bars into 5th grear and thought he was finally going to get his first 9 second pass. When the front came down it he couldn't hang on to it as the bars started "tank slapping" from one side to the other a few times. He let go and went through the traps at ~136 mph on his @ss! He had all the leathers on and only had very minor scratches thankfully. Unfortunetly the bike was cooked, however he built a much more advanced chassis after the fact. Unfortunately drag racing was dwindling down so the local strip closed and the other two closest drag strips are 3.5 and 5 hours away! These are still the closest two tracks[sm=boohoo.gif]. The payouts from the far away tracks barely covered the fuel/food expenses and the sponsors back then were pretty few and far between and usually pretty cheap. My uncle Kenny got out first and my dad raced until 1981.
My dad has built hot rods/muscle cars ever since and I started racing back in 2004 but have been limited to 4 wheeled supercharged muscle machines.
I cant wait to take my F3 to the track next spring. I thought of building a pro-stock type bike and using my white/purple F3 as the donor, but I just don't have the money to race enough to justify it.

The 1973 Kawasaki 750 triple is only rated at 71 horsepower and as stated weighs 465 lbs. Not that great but it got the job done and ran quicker then anyone else back then. Even the 1100s couldnt touch those little 750s.

 

this guy who the video is on needs to got to a school to learn the proper way to ride...

 

yea like thrity horsepower and fifty pounds is a huge difference on bikes there is no old bike that can out run 600s motor to motor and the reason why that guy beat that 900rr is cuz he ahd a turbo. turbos just make a bike go faster and faster and faster hell i see new 600s w/turbos out run zx-14s all day . and kawis suck just like their other half of the company susucki
