2015 Superbike drag race – Video

The ¼-mile drag race. It’s the benchmark for straight-line performance, and in this video from Motorcyclist we pit BMW’s S1000RR, Ducati’s 1299 Panigale S, and Yamaha’s YZF-R1 against each on the dyno, on the scales, and at the strip.

 

NOTE: ETs shown were recorded with the same rider in the saddle, and he took numerous runs to insure the best times possible. (And because wheelying in 3rd gear at over 100mph is really fun!)
