Hi, I know it is some time from last post but does any body know what type of seat is it? I would like to by seat for my VTX 1800 but cant find the rifht one... Thank you !
i agree with elziffo, there was like to scenes of actual drag racing and neither showed outcomes (times or win lose). Nice bike its a shame you had to do all that work and tuning to get it to what the M109R does stock
Also, not trying to argue but the M109R only runs low 12's in factory trim. And thats if you get a good launch and hit all your shifts right. Ask me how I know.. LOL. Dont matter both the m1098R and VTX are both great machines. Pretty equal if you ask me.
Yes this seems to be a much requested item: "raw footage". Given the cheap camera I was using I was lucky to get night shots period.
The video was not about proving the final results as much as it was about the experience of drag racing and getting ready for it. It is everything that leads up to the race and afterwards that contributes to this total experience. Next time I'll include this raw footage.
well from what I saw it will do a burnout, but so will my 5 y/o daughters 4 wheeler, If the hp and torque shown in the dyno chart are an indication I see it running low 12's tops even with the skinny guy driving, make one with a full run shoeing realtime footage please, and send me that driver, at least my 109 will pull the front tire in the first few gears, with him I could get in the upper 9's
Too bad your 109 looks like shit,the VTX is a much better looking bike.I would rather ride what looks great than something faster.The will always be a faster bike each year so your point is moot
A vtx is an aged pos at best and is far from good looking. But as long as you ride thats cool enjoy your x...maybe We'll meet up and ride together some day......I'll wait on you !!!!
Upper 9's huh? Watch the video titled m109r Drags and then tell me yours will run upper 9's. Now if you told me upper 11's I might believe it if it were modded. It would need a whole shit ton of mods to scoot the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds. Most sportbikes wont do the 1/4 in the 9's and we are supposed to believe your M109R will. Sorry but thought I'd call bullshit on your post.
Who said anything about 9's? The VTX and M109 will most likely (if they're 50% stock or more) never see those kind of times. And yeah it does run mid - upper 11's stock. My old boss was routinely in the 11's on his 109R. Depends on the rider. VTX is a quick bike, i was just sayin, m109 is faster off the showroom floor.
umm did i miss the part where you actually drag? there was like 2 clips when you were already half way down and if you do decide to make another one plz loose the 3min of b.s. ya a few stills are cool but after the 20th one it was hard to keep watching
Loved the video, great work, kudos to the creator, also to the bike owner/builder nice numbers.... some time it is hard to belive a bike that big (1800 right?) can drop those numbers...
I sold my 1300 and buying an 1800N, can't wait for delivery...
typical head work, cams, new style intake manifold and exhaust. Used a PCIII to dial in the A/F ratio. Currently rebuilding the motor targeting low 10's.

video should be called "burnouts on a VTX"
elziffo 3 years ago
I would have to agree lets see some raw footage.
I also agree that the 109's looks are a bit off but I guess it is what you want speed or style. My Vtx is fast enough for me:)
