Brave Dog,

Top Fuel Harleys are quite fast, typically low to mid 6 second range at around 220mph. They are injected with 96-98% Nitro, 175 cubic inches, 750 - 800lbs, one or two speed and make around 800hp.

My bike (yes I ride it) is a Pro Dragster, 120" carbureted Nitro, 400lbs, single speed that makes 400hp. Pro Dragsters run in the mid 7's with the record at 7.21 seconds

The multi cylinder top fuel bikes have more potential to be faster but there are only a handful in the country that are. The world record is a high five second run at approx 250mph.

The sensation in not comparable to anything else I have ever done. It feels damn good on the top end of the track. Nothing I have ever done makes my heart pound so hard.
