One of my dad’s employees just bought an older Suzuki 850cc bike and wants race. He says he will kill me, but the last time he said that I beat his wagon by two seconds at Cordova. I am just wondering if I have a chance.

 

first what do you drive...

 

forgot to put in sig

 

older tour type bikes are 14ish second rides... maybe 13's...

 

What are you times with the 84?

 

i ran a 14.1 at 97 on my first pass, but that was the best of only 2 runs i got in. plus i expect to run low 13's once my car is tuned right and i get some more practice.

 

My vote is for you to win. I've been on older bikes and they're not that great. It will be close though, just get a good jump

 

From my research the bike has around 80 horse power and is around 600 lbs

 

It is a 1981 Suzuki GS 850 G

Category: Allround
Displacement: 843.00 ccm (51.44 cubic inches)
Engine type: In-line four
Power: 78.00 HP (56.9 KW) @ 9000 RPM
Gearbox: 5-speed
Transmission type Shaft drive (cardan) .
Weight incl. oil, gas: 273.0 kg (601.9 pounds)
Top speed: 198.0 km/h (123.0 mph)

 

guess i'd better say 14's or 15's... that bike is not putting that much hp out now (unless it's been rebuilt)... you should destroy him...
