He didn't do a proper burnout. He stopped before he was out of the water. Would have gotten way better results if he would just skip the puddle instead :D Also the tyre didn't have time to warm up.
@@RobStaniford Hi Rob, nice to meet you. I follow @Yo-Ken s channel and his sports bike looks a bit like the Katanas. I am 60 and rode a bike at university in the early 80s. Once a biker always a biker! LOL! (I am from Wagga originally.)

Beaten by another Suzuki❤️
My brother ran 11.2 seconds, same as the professional Cycle World rider did back in 1980. Only he had a Yoshi pipe and rejetted.
My favorite part of the katana lineup is the yr with pop up headlight to bad they didn't make an 1100 with same light
*too bad
Still got to love the Katana.
have edited end credits, thanks for feedback.
@@RobStaniford Cheers dude I edited my comment as not to be nasty But I see it got through anyway, Big mouth strikes again.
I love the look of the katana
Katana is faster than R1. New Record 11.52 sec 1/4 mile
Dude on the R1 completely blew that one. He missed stock quarter mile by 2 seconds....lol
katana kool
Winner KaTana
It was de Kat dat won it!
Katana is for real men :-) Are there any modifications with the engine?
Obviously never ridden a R1, what a fucking tool
