Get a V-Rod and waste that damn truck. VALKYRIES are awesome, they just are'nt drag bikes. Even though that truck was completely tuned it's ass off.

i don't give a f..k about power to weight ratio talk. listen to that valkyrie roar.Music to my ears, 100 % earporn right there. Thank you very much indeed

@MrFelim What you say about power to weight ratio is correct but there's another element to the equation and that is traction. The bike with only one wheel loses the advantage of power to weight ratio against high powered cars that can get the powere onto the ground and therefore accelerate faster and might even have less top speed. However unless the car is in the supercar category I agree that the bike will generally win.

I just watched again and noticed that the reaction times are displayed on the boards before the times show up. Valkyrie: 1.192s; Truck: 0.690s. The bike rider simply reacted slowly.

@kevindk2003 Actually, the truck won the race because it passed the finish line first. Notice that the truck's time shows up first along with a vertical bar of lights indicating the winner. The truck won with a slower time because of the Valkyrie's delayed start (maybe an intentional handicap for bracket racing, or the rider just reacted slowly).

THIS IS A HOAX. Why is it that guys driving trucks think that they have a prayer of a chance of beating even a slow bike? It's simple physics- power to weight ratio. The Valkyrie would certainly have been in the next county before this rattling, clanking smelly monster had even have got off the starting line. If you were driving a backhoe- would you race a supercharged Honda Civic- probably not if you weren't blitzed on 'crack' or a total dumbass..

I am as much a diesel freak as you are, and I love fast trucks, but that truck is to my Ford Ranger as that Valkyrie is to my VFR. My Viffer will run an 11.22 at 119.8, and this thing is running in the low 12's. I weigh 530 wet, and the Valk weighs almost 740 (!). I have 110HP, and it has about 100. The viffer isn't built for drag racing, and neither is the Valk, but the fact that it can run in the low 12's is simply astounding!

What would a Valkyrie RUNE have done at 1800 cc's ?
