What We Think
Lately, YouTubers have hopped on the bandwagon of a popular trend: using drag races to assess and compare the performance of different motorcycles. However, it’s crucial to recognize that relying solely on drag races for these evaluations might not be the wisest choice. The reason for concern lies in the fact that drag races can potentially cause lasting damage to motorcycles, given that most bikes are not engineered for continuous high-speed, straight-line runs. Consequently, we strongly discourage attempting drag races with your own motorcycles. In reality, the majority of riders refrain from pushing their bikes to such extreme limits due to safety considerations and the potential risk of both personal injury and damage to their vehicles.
