Rickey is a pilot alright!

By the way........How is -1 on the countershaft stock???

Stock = Homologation


Homologate=
2. transitive verb automobiles officially recognize car model or component: to give official recognition to a prototype car or car component, thus allowing it to be used in a race



Stock (adj)
standard, typical, routine, run-of-the-mill, ordinary, normal

Were all bikes fitted with a -1 front sprocket? Pretty amazing though. Even the daytona 650 looked pretty good. I can't even break 117mph on my TT600!

Good question. To keep the comparison true, all should have had the gearing change and adjustments made exact one to the other.

No doubt.......Rickey is KING!

The low trap speed sure sows the rider's skill.

dont forget it was also lowered ...2" from the ground...so much for driving it on the street

[Ducman851]

OK it was an slightly altered (lowered, weighted and regeared) other than that bone stock. Also if you read Richard Gadsens first post all the bikes got the same treatment for the initial testing.

NOTE, these bikes are the dictionary definition of stock. NO WEIGHT, stock pipes, -1 front sprocket, lowered, no race gas or motor work, and THAT'S IT!!!!

most drag racers i know consider lowered/geared stock.

I drive mine on the street 2" off the ground

Yeah but "bone stock" should mean just that, BONE STOCK as if straight from the showroom floor.

well, why don't you go talk to some drag racers, and see if they consider a lowering link and a 20$ sprocket stock. Guess what, they do.

I am a long-time drag racer. Strapped, geared or any mods from showroom is not STOCK.

So everyone knows. Under AMA Prostar Rules, the very same Association that Gadson has dominated, the classification would be considered 600 Super Sport.

600 Super Sport =
Any homologation 600 machine, available from showroom, with "bolt-on" modifications/parts which are available for public purchase is the class. THESE ARE NOT "STOCK" MACHINES. Hence the name "SUPER" in Super Sport.

The way the article should have read............."Rickey Gadsen rolls 9's on showroom stock modified 600's". This is the most factual and proper use for what and how the testing was done.

amen.

[Travis71902]

Yeah!! Now i just need to lower my bike , regear it, and strap it down and im the shit. Oh yeah I should learn to drag race like Gadson, too!
