What We Think
In recent times, YouTubers have adopted a popular trend of using drag races to evaluate and compare the performance of different motorcycles. However, it’s important to recognize that relying exclusively on drag races for these assessments may not be the wisest approach. The concern arises because drag races can potentially cause long-term damage to motorcycles, given that most bikes are not designed for continuous high-speed, straight-line racing. Therefore, we strongly discourage attempting drag races with your own motorcycles. In reality, most riders avoid pushing their bikes to such extreme limits due to safety concerns and the potential risks of personal injury and damage to their vehicles.
