@A_Jef I wish they would've ran a timed hot lap on each bike- Chris riding- and one in the car... That would be an interesting set of numbers. Bike is only as quick on a twisty as the rider. A TZ250 will run away and hide from a 'Busa (Or anything else) on the Dragon with a skilled jock.
@@hellraiserrec19 thank you. I actually bought it for my wife. I have rode it and it’s actually really fun . It’s the 900cc rally edition. So you can put it in rally mode and lock the front wheels and just do doughnuts.
@@chriswade3986 haha that sounds like a lot of fun. I though of getting one so my wife or friends can ride without being intimidated by a regular bike. They look like a blast!
This is nuts! Plaid is 4,760 pounds! Imagine the torque those freaking motors output. I love my bikes, but sitting in a sedan and accelerating like that sounds insane. Now we just need a nationwide Autobahn with charging stations every 300 or 400 miles 😂
Does it also drive you crazy when people are talking about the Plaid having to get into "drag strip mode"? Yes, that's how you get the best performance but it's fast and race capable at any moment. The several minutes or so to get into drag mode is if you want to squeeze out like another 0.1 seconds on your quarter mile.
300 miles...no. Try every 60 miles if you are pushing it hard. The Y can pull a small horse rig on the flat about 60 miles and needs a full charge after that. Been there, done that...
Remember... Chris Moore is a professional drag racer....like a really good one...so if HE gets beat by the Tesla, just think on any other street in America these bikes ridden by an average Joe -that gap will be even bigger. Also don't forget Elon musk says the plaid can still be updated or unlocked to raise it's top end speed from like 162 to 200mph. If that does indeed happen, it is simply game over for A LOT of people.
I watched the vid for Edmunds with Carlos you you. Very entertaining and so glad they had a professional rider for that battle. Makes me wish I still had my 2016 ZX14R SE. Infact, I wish Kawasaki would bring the Big Ole Girl back with some modern updates. She's still a BEAST. Strong work Mr. Moore!! Shame you didn't have your Grudge ZX14R with you, I think you would have taken the Plaid if the wind was calmer.
The Edmunds driver didn't need to wait at all. Just floor the damn thing and let it rip. Even so, getting it to stage into Drag Strip mode only take a few seconds. No need to wait for the battery to be fully conditioned because it would still do about 9.4-9.5 in the quarter. No point in fiddling around until people are about to fall asleep. Whether in cheetah stance or battery fully conditioned/warm it will still do a quarter in the 9s.
Fun race. I owned 2 Hayabusa , and currently a ZX14r. Loved my Hayabusa, and love my ZX14r. The Hayabusa was too cramped for my aging body so I went for the ZX. The 14 is more comfortable, and has more consistent power whereas the Hayabusa has more tech, cruise control and factory quick shifter. Both are amazing bikes!
If the 14R had the Busa's electronics it would have been closer in the dig. The 14R is a beast! Oh, good riding dude. Definitely one of the best riders out there.
That 10whp extra for the 14r makes a world of a difference then because the busa had nothing for the Tesla from the roll on. Probably the crazy torque of the 14r?
@@Mohapi_Tau no, but if you don’t think putting more power to the motors and tweaking the system in the car isn’t already in j the works, well you’re living in a fantasy land….you have to remember right now these cars are completely stock and weigh close to 5000lbs, and are doing this well
@@black07rr que in the Lightning electric superbike, or better yet how about one of those hydrogen EV bikes that are being developed by Honda.. EV for EV & let's how it plays out.
Thanks for sharing! Maybe a dumb question, but if the Kawasaki has a quick shifter, why not hold full throttle during shifts? Do you think it'd make much difference? It *feels* like it makes a meaningful difference on my BMW but I don't have data to confirm.
Great video other than the wind omg it was crazy!! But keep up the good work Moore Mafia!! I remember going to school with Chris and watching him racing at Greer Drag strip!! He's representing our small town Greer SC!!
I watched the Edmond's video a few weeks ago. This is a nice follow-up to that. It's quite interesting to get the impression of the Plaid from a professional motorcycle racer. You need a wind-sock for your camera mic though.
Your jocking consistency was hella impressive. Going into this you knew you were not going to put anything in the W column but sure were on point jocking. Fantastic riding. Shoulda dragged something quick out of the arsenal and saved face. BAM.
I want to see what takes to turn a new busa and ZX14r into a Plaid killer. Probably just dropped suspension and a swing arm on the ninja, maybe heavier clutch springs. The Busa may need some engine work on top of thatvi believe.
My gen2 busa went 9.0s in Vegas with the following mods... 8" over swing arm Geared down 2 teeth in the rear. Aftermarket clutch Air shifter Lowered 3" ECU flash That's it. Drove it as a daily driver. I'm confident it would give the Tesla a challenge all day long.
Tesla = Full production car vs Rimac = limited "production" car. They are different production car. Tesla Plaid...World's fastest true production car. Until Tesla Roadster arrival of course :D .
Cool and interesting vid! Could almost take a nap at the start line with how long it takes for the 'plaid' to set up...hilarious. DC electric motor maximum torque available at 1 rpm is...'different'.
Don't really have use Dragstrip mode unless you want to get every last drop out of the car. "Plaid mode" is only .1 and 1-3mph slower in the 1/4 mile. Just pull up and go, no waiting.
That Tesla is whipping all types of butt. , how about electric sport bike against gas sport bike. I guess electric is the future!!!! You better start doing drag race school on electric motorcycles 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s crazy. 4 door sedan, silent killer. To think the Rimac Nevera is over a half second quicker than the Plaid and tops out over 250. These electrics are getting nuts.
I wanna see this done at sea level or below sea level in Death Valley during cool weather. This was +2,500feet 1/2 mile up in the sky, the bikes are down on power a little.
6:07 That is meme-worthy! 😄 EDIT: In all fairness, the Tesla comes full-beans from the factory. The 'Busa comes gimped and doesn't open the throttle 100% with that emissions-compliant ECU tune. Still, such a heavy battery-powered car beating a 'Busa and trapping 150 MPH is insane.
Cost of Tesla Plaid here in NZ $225,000 (OMG) Cost of the Gen 3 Busa here in NZ $29,000. I seriously don't know why your even comparing them :( The Hayabusa's retail price is like 13% of the Plaid :(
I don't know. I hear that the customer service over at Tesla is practically non-existent. If this is true, and I had the coin to invested in a Tesla, I'd be more than content to spend the money on something else that is inherently fast enough without having to deal with subpar customer service. Despite the coolness factor and all, I would prefer to have the leftover funds available in my account rather than sitting in Mr. E. Musk's offshore accounts!
I have to say that ZX-14 is killing it with that subtle graphic kit
For the price of the plad, I can get an H2r and 2 zx 14s. One for me, one for me Dad. XD. Lovely car though.
The 14R has been pulling hard like this for almost a decade, in stock trim.

The most impressive thing here is actually the 14r beating the new busa lol
Why? On the spec sheet the zx14r blows the busa away. Generally Busas have more headroom for tuning.
@@kalasmournrex1470 gen 1 14 is not zx14r, is zx14, with the separare headlights

...try every hundred or 200 miles if you're going fast! Not me... gas engines FOREVER!
Up next on Moore Mafia TV "I bought a Plaid"...

You can use it to tow your bikes to the track. Then run the tow vehicle against some bikes just for fun.

You should race the Tesla up against the Kawasaki H2 and H2R
New videos just showed up. H2 was doing battle
Zx14r has a faster quarter mile and 0 to 60.

Yeah, I really like the Rimac, but in its whole run they are going to make 150 of them. These Plaids are going to be around that per week.
Kawi for the win
That car is face as hell, good racing champ
Invest in a chin mount GoPro mount will give more of a POV look
Chris did you just pull the Busa's pants down in the roll on?🤣
I wished kawasaki would have updated the zx 14. At least a face lift with updated IMU.
the h2 sx se is not a touring bike....
Love the looks of the ZX-14R gray and green strips. Wish they would update the dash to a TRT display. Wonder if a H2 is faster or not.
No, it's not. Probably feels faster with the turbo, but it's not. Yea, that 14r paint scheme is beautiful. I have a 2000 Ninja ZX-12R.
hi brother that dragy device, do u think is it the best product to achieve the best timing results for street riders?
Both is amazing motorcycle's good to see the zx14 pulling hard on the top end but yeah still a suzuki man
“Come on battery boy” lololol
Way to put up the good fight!!! Keep burning dinosaurs 🦕
Plaid baby!✌
The state of charge in the Plaid must not have been in the optimal range...
The Plaid easily does the 60-130 in 4.6-4.8 with an 80% SOC

dominates from a dig
hauls 4 people comfortably
what kind of savagery is this
5-seat 4-door family car.... Legend.
well ,,,,stock hell yeah that tesla is state of the art but c'mon who does stock gimme a road legal 8 sec bike , spend the rest on go go juice
The answer to beating a Tesla: "TORQUE"!
Straight up awesome 👍
Great video!
Is logic electric cars or bike have a instant torque. What is the top speed from the tesla ??
Which is fastest in stock form, new hayabusa or zx14?

Well done mate.

How would the H2 do? Any better?
Probably not man. Makes more power but with such a short track it would be a game of catch up for the bike
