a rough calculation is to take your 1/8th mile time and multiply by 1.5
again thats just rough and it all depends on your setup and rear end gears. Brian I would say you are good for around 230-250mph in the 1/4 with the right gearing. NOW THATS FAST!!! :D

Of course that calculation doesnt apply to MPH, but just think if it was and ypu went 250mph!!!!!!
The fastest I ever went in the 1/8th was 108mph. I have had a motorcycle up to 148mph but I was much younger and my balls were a WHOLE lot larger!

Those are some damn nice #'s B. That 4.71 @ 150 works out to about 7.53 @ 186 in the 1/4. That would be impressive :!: 8)

1/8th x 1.575 = 1/4

7.40@185 is what it'd run close to. very impressive :D

It was about 25 years ago, when the Yamaha FJ1200 came out it was nasty fast. I weighed about 125 pounds soaking wet and that bike was just a frickin rocket. I think about some of the stupid crap I did back then and wonder how I made it this far!
