@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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
The Tesla uses 3% of battery with each lunch. It has a 370 miles of range. So you can run almost all day before recharge. Check out the Tesla plaid channel
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.
Second Best content ever the first being the kawi vs Zuk nation shootout.The writing was on the wall though from the start from the 1/4 mile times set previously.Please bring some more bikes vs cars.Keep doin what you doin best content anywhere on the teli tonight.
if i saw clearly, at 60-130 timeslips, the first four runs "11:06" are all zx14r, and the "10:03" are busas. 5,27 secs seem too good for a busa and too close to a zx14r

That very first Race had me like WTF!!!! That damn Tesla pulled on the busa so hard it made me just up 😡😂. It’s crazy how technology is advancing, never would have honestly thought I would see a stock car from the factory electric or gas keep up or beat a busa or ZX-14R. Fucken nuts. Keep up the motivation.
the Busa carries the same spirit as the R34. Not that fast stock, but leaves plenty of room for peeps to play. Especially with the gen 3, Suzuki specified that the engine is practically the same as the Gen 2, except the main body has been reinforced. That means more pressure, more powah, and more potential for insanity.
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.

Who u got?
14 would kill it.
Hmm, great video, as always. Next video Tesla vs Flash and tuned bikes (atleast for the ZX14) with Brocks exhaust and BST's?

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.
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.

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?
Damn that Tesla damn near lapped you. .LOL Wait until Tesla comes out with a 2 wheel drive E motorcycle..
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.

@ChrisMoore, if you could redo this race with a couple of liter bikes, do you think the results would be different?
Comment on Edmunds TH-cam channel and let them know you want to see Moore!
I was going to post this same question
In stock trim, the zx14r would be in front. The amount of torque from the roll on eats up most vehicles.
7:36 ah ah ah, yes yes, the wind of course...
GEN 2 BUSA would beat that GEN 3. 🤣
Pretty much. Euro 5 destroyed the Busa
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 .
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.
How about an all electric ZX-14 or Hayabusa?
this car:
dominates from a dig
hauls 4 people comfortably
what kind of savagery is this
Cool video dude... That car is ridiculously fast... Even at - 1000' DA and a strapped front, I still think the plaid pulls it off.
Why dont you rev the engine until you take off? Or were you reving it to 3 thousand i just couldnt see?
it's definitely cool, it's definitely fast but mannn is that race mode a pain in the ass!! 😝
