Top Fuel Motorcycle THRILLER! 🤩

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It’s the semifinal of the brand new NHRA Pingel Top Fuel Motorcycle championship series and we are down to a pair of supercharged, inline four cylinder bikes, Dave Vantine and Mitch Brown, and the incredible v-twin out of Finland owned by Jaska Salakari and ridden 22 year old nitro bike sensation Elmeri Salakari. In this video we will find out who will win the very first NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Wally since 1984, we see one heck of a race involving Vantine and personal record speed and we see a little Top Fuel Motorcycle racing gone wrong as Salakari suffers a minor engine explosion. We will follow both teams back to the pits to watch them thrash and see what was the cause of this Top Fuel Motorcycle drag racing gone wrong. #motorcycle #dragracing #topfuel

    Seeing these gladiators racing in front of mostly empty grandstands breaks my freaking heart! These are the most dedicated, crazy, passionate drag racers in the world. They literally face death with every run. And yet…they wouldn’t want it any other way! Please, can we start a petition or something to give theses gladiators an invitation to the BIG show? These gladiators deserve top billing at all NHRA nationals. Perhaps they are afraid that the fans will realize that the top fuel motorcycle racers are the best show in earth! Please please please…..get these folks a chance at the BIG SHOW!

    Jaska's V2 is a deighn of his own ,and has set numerous records across Europe, do not underestimate his bikes, i think there are 3 or 4, 3 of which i have seen articles/video of them taking their riders into the 5s , if my understanding is correct they are 120 to 140 ci 4 valve per cylinder , efi (The vwizards @ Fuel Tech), screw blown V2's of Jaska Salakari's own desighn, the other 4 cylinder bikes, are Puma based, or Dave Alwine (Mika Fenwick)based inline 4 cylinders,all of which make stunning power, it would be awesome to see the triple from europe,and some blown nitro H D's maybe even the ultra slick aero ride of Jay Upton's come race!

    Why are you concerned with comparing the two? Rotating mass weight, rod length, cubic inches/displacement, chassis weight., rider weight and many many other factors determine et. All other things being equal, its all a mathematical equation. Why would there be a need for bias between the two? You don't like a v-twin, don't ride a v-twin.

    @@cycledrag I'm 72 years old retired disabled I'm not sure I'd be physically up to making a run I'd really want to. Then asking the spider man for his ok before attempting a pass at any age would be mandatory for me. Short answer yes it be the ounce in a life time adrenaline rush. After a few years of not being able to ride my road motorcycles my wonderful friends put training wheels on one. I took the first ride yesterday it's so shockingly different going to take time to adjust to the training wheels. A motor trike conversion for my 2002 road king is at the top of my wishlist. I'm so lucky to have friends that got me out of the house by surprising me with the training wheels install. I know this is way more than you ask for in your question,HA !!!
