I stumbled across this on Youtube. I didn't know if I should laugh or go find a strip.

I wish I could see his time and speed . It looks like he hit the traps at near 90mph .

on one of his vids, he says his best E.T. was ~ 15.94 @ 92 mph

...which is piss poor for 680 cc, but that's not what we bought our Dino's for

True. I don't think it could ever be a drag bike. Also, anyone noticed that he's riding manual? Why...

If you mean manual shift , I think the bike is much quicker that way .

yes definitely quicker in manual mode
and for the weight of the bike and being a low hp/torque motor its not too bad.

If you look at his other videos, he does manual, drive and sport. Looking at the trap times, the times appeared identical mostly, except for his best run which was better. Personally, s vs d seems very close except I prefer the extra engine braking in s for twisties.
