I have no reason to lie about loosing a race to a car on my wing. I wrote this to try to find the owner. Yes my wing is stock. You have to remember this is a flat 6 six cylinder 1832cc, 104 rwhp 1100 pound motorcycle including me and fuel. less than 200cc smaller than our s motors on a bike that weighs much less than half of our car weight. This is the easiest thing to launch i have ever ridden. Any way I have no reason to lie about anything nothing to gain. and remember it is a honda. BTW if you dont believe me on the wing stats just do some research on the web and see for yourself. I have a camera phone and can send picture of time/dyno slip if some one knows how to post that on here. Just PM me. With your picture phone number.

I guess this was no average FI'ed S. A Turbo S can get to the 10's.
Yes but the only turbo'ed S's to hit the 10's are not street friendly and would never be mistaken for stock. Have you seen the video of the suzuka S running in the 10's? Ferocious.

people: one sign is sufficient, unless you have a speech impediment. In this case, I don't think any signs are needed though.

shit, a stock S2000 would most likely have ebough to beat a Goldwing with two people on it. Some of you don't have any clue what happens to a bike's performance with two up. Hint: it ain't no 11 second machine at that point. Not even close. More like lucky to be a 14 second ride.

no way a Goldwing is going to be running 11s on a real track. You "ran" 11s on the back of a truck with a dyno, that is a lot different than launching and getting perfect shifts down a 1/4 mile track. I believe the newer Goldwings are in the mid 12s with one passenger and a perfect launch.
