Default Stock ZX11 does 1/4 mile in 9.45second.?

Iv'e search the internet and something comes up a little of interest. A stock Kawasaki ZX11 riding on OEM tires competes against a mustang at a drag strip turning a 9.45 second 1/4 mile . What comes to mind is a soft composition tire reducing slipage during acceleration, This seems quite a stunt. If anyone know anything about the conditions of the motorcycles used in this race, Please tell me about it. Thank You.

what kind of mustang is that that runs 9's?????? not too many street legal ones... i know that bike unless its hooked up wont run that. unless their is a REALLY good driver. i know guys that run 10.00 couple 9.8's w/ zx10r but that 1100 shouldnt be that much faster. that bike had a LOT more done than tires, possibly stretched is what im thinking

yea what he said, a stock zx11 wont run that even with an top notch rider, in stock trim.
i have bud who is running an zrx1200, stock motor, weight reduced chassis, header, jet kit, with electrics, holeshot stutter box, air shifter, slick an wheelie bars, his best time is 9.65
another guy with 1224 kit and total striped down zrx , full on drag set up ,runs 9.2's, but he only weights 140 ish lbs
