Absolutely right on both counts.

Are you paying attention, Zaonoid ??
There's your answer, straight up.

Like a lot of other things, drag racing LOOKS easy......and it is, unless you want to be good at it......in which case it is NOT easy. It takes a bike built for it, lots of practice to polish the skills and some damage along the way, to both bike and body.

A street bike is not built for an efficient DRAG.

And YOU don't have the necessary skills to pull it off.
Dismisss that if you want but it IS TRUE.
