Response to Mattness' burnout story - video inside, Metzler Marthon destoryed!

I saw the burnout story at the dealship I thougth I should share this burnout with you guys. This was the bike the preceeded the Vmax, a 1400 Intruder twin. It was a pretty snotty Vtwin bike, I could leave the line and run through about 50mph to surprise anybody out there, but then horsepower would win. Anyways, for your view pleasure.

Nice job!.............Always like a good burnout....................I didn't know you could get the front wheel up on those things?

 

[acammer]

It would carry the front wheel from a roll in first. Guys that had as much or more in the motor than I did with stock ride height could coax it up in second as well, I was lowered and it wouldn't. It was a pretty decent bike for a Vtwin, light weight helped it leave the line strong with all that traction, torque and super low gears. I don't think I'll miss it too much now that I have the Max.

Now just imagine the response if you'd left a cloud hanging in the air. That's an expensive cloud though, I wouldn't have done it with a tire that had any usable life left in it.
