My sand rail project

That Vdub 1600 originally came with around 80 h/p
The GSXR 1300 has twice that (plus some) stock.


Even my gsxr 750 pushes 125-130hp (haven't dyno'd)....


But MY powerband is like 8,000-12,500... noisy on a sandrail to really churn that horsepower all day

heres from an 03 750.. mines 04/05

i was in 6th today at 11k revs8)

he is on dirt though, probably testing out the engine for the first time

yah, i hadn't even thought of that tbh, but if i were to make a video like that, i'd make it something to watch, lol..

and that is exactly why i don't have a bike sr verde.. i'm a super speed freak, and bikes are wayyyy too fast, i'd surely kill myself on one in a few days, or hours even, lol.. much respect for being able to ride one and not kill yourself though..
 
been ridin for years ;) been down a few times, learned various lessions the hard way... but i'm still out there :)


the trick is to start slow, and learn to ride the shit out of a 600-700 v twin cruiser before you move up to inline four, then something before a liter+ inline four is a good idea

i would have offed myself if i had a fast enough bike for the first year for sure but my first only went to 110 when I ran the gears up real high.... the odo only went to 100mph :lol:



or take it to the track if you have $$$!
 
im guessing that rust was just surface rust that didnt weaken it right?
the first thing i thought of was you flipping and it collapses because its all rusted through lol
 
yah, wassup with the project?? don't you know this be the season to be tig'in?? lol..
my bad. ya im done with it iv had it in the dunes a few times already.. i'l take some pics of it in the next wek or so. we are packing for a move to the roseburg area so its under a tarp right now. i will post pics.. its a lot of funn.:clap::-P

...totally sweet! But that band could make for rattling some teeth loose, I'd imagine :) As much as I love speed (the going fast one ;) ), 12,000 would make me numb after a while - but it would be a race against the beer in that department, so... :lol:

It's not as bad as you think.... The engine *rumbles* less and is more balanced at the power band.... the engine will straight rocket through 8k-12k.. and rumble from 3-8 lol

these engines have like 12.3:1 compression ratios it's nuts

...my old car had 12:1 aluminum racing pistons, I know the rumble! Mid-race cam had me dancing on the spot at red lights :lol: Fun as hell.

nothing beats the rumble of a nice big ass cam on idle imo.. i love it.. i even love how some harleys sound on idle, sounding like they're about to stall out and shit, and just barely idling, gotta love it, lol.. :)
