- It’s Harley Davidson vs. Suzuki at Sacramento Raceway Park’s Motorcycle Mania as the fastest Top Fuel Nitro Harleys on the West Coast call out and drag race the fastest Turbo Hayabusa in the west of legend Nigel Patrick and the insane Nitrous Suzuki GS Pro Mod Drag Bike of multi time champion Mark Rissling. Expect the unexpected in this heated drag racing event as we will see some controversy, motorcycle drag racing gone wrong, a drag bike starting line fail, explore the strengths and weaknesses of a NHRA Top Fuel Harley, a turbo charged Suzuki Hayabusa drag bike, a nitrous oxide huffing Pro Mod and more. Which motorcycle will prove to be more dominant - Harley or Suzuki?

Nice watching this race. Good clean racing. No drama. No fighting. No dysfunctional people. No constant profanity. Just guys wanting to go down a track as fast as they can. Thanks for that.
Trash talking is sometimes so annoying at grudge races.
No constant profanity…. That’s rare!!!!
Racers for Christ. It doesn't get any better than that. Thank you for bringing this to us.
Wow, Nigel Patrick is Originally from Southampton England. He's still into drag bikes great. He used to help me with my Kawasaki Z1R Atp Turbo bike way back early 80's here in Uk. Great to see he's still there in the USA and doing it. Ray
I’m a Suzuki Rider at 65, started at fifteen in NZ with an A100. Current ride is a GSX1100 from 1981 (a real Beast) . Had an LS400 and VS700 Intruder ( miss that one ) also had a VFR 750 but never really got that done . Turbo and Nitro GSX appeals but I’m not as strong as I once was …the GSX is the great base engine … great run for those Harleys, made for the strip !
They started running 6.95 -6.98 back in the early 90's on the east coast ahdra. The west coast bikes always have been slower than those on the east coast. Even back when we were racing the AHDRA. We would go out west for the race in California once a year. Just to take some of that west coast money home. I think it was usually the week after Sturgis.
Let’s hear it for East Coast performance engineering. Wisconsin’s Sunset Motors twin Norton drag bike, Don Garlits, the Arfrons brothers four large engine Green Monster top fuel car, and so much more. I used to think that all the best gearheads lived in SoCal but that’s really not true. Oh and Meyer-Drake-Offenhauser engines and Carroll Shelby.
High 6s were once thought unattainable. Congratulations.
40 years my senior and on the track kicking ass. Man, what am I doing with my life?
Cmon out! Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
Get busy....
Run same weight, same cubic inch, heads up same class. Like drag racing used to be.
No Robert, the way drag racing is SUPPOSED to be.
Drag racing has never really been like that even 30+ years ago when I raced everyone’s setup was a bit different engine sizes where different etc… even the NHRA Pro-stocks ran different size engines back then it was all about how fast you could get down the track not about your HP or the size of your engine
@@shorty808100 Exactly Smokey, another thing that turned me off to pretty much any motorsports is engine computer management, it's taken the driver element out of racing, Hell in drag racing, just hold it to the floor, press a button to launch, the computer does the rest.
@@charlesparr3296 lol
The v8 guys are protected after they got their asses handed to them by a turbo v12 ferrari powered car - they stipulate v8/roots blower in the rule book to keep others out
Its all politics now - a displacement limit/weight class makes sense but someone is bound to cry lol
Nigel did my Harley blower heads, back in the day...still have the bike! Good to see him still out there grabbing a handful.
I own both harley and Suzuki . And there both great in different ways I'm a motorcycle man so if it has two wheels I like it
Way to go team nitro!!! Proud to see you guys Praying before the runs.
I’m Pro Harley, I’m not a Harley snob but HD is my favorite brand.
I’ll say that no other brand gets you more “community” than Harley
You’ll see more rides and events coming out of HD dealerships than all other brands combined.
@@Heavywall70 I give all the credit to Harley for creating a motorcycle empire... The antiquated engine design will most likely keep Harley in 2nd place in the pinnacle of all out performance. Imagine if the money and development was at a similar level between the two with both using nitro... for every max Suzuki effort in drag racing their is probably 5 to 10 Harley teams... Just look at the Bonneville records since 1999.
explain why please
I'm no fool. I know myself. That's why when it was time to buy, I went cruiser. Even though I love speed, and there are a few Sport Bikes I am comfortable on, sooner or later I would twist that throttle just to see what she'd do. And what I was most comfortable on is capable of ludicrous speed on the street.
My dad ran a record pass in ... 1961 or 62 (?} on his Triumph 650 Bonneville with nitro, alcohol & _benzine_ fuel mix, 10:41 @ 141.23 mph. I'm sorry I'm a bit hazy on the memory so the exact year & even town may be off, Medford seems most right but Eugene keeps echoing my thoughts too! But the record is real, there weren't many bikes running the 1/4 mile then, it was for southern Oregon/Northern California to Fresno for three years. Thought I'd share a little history and again, I'm sorry to be so sketchy about it lol !
At 5:04-5:06 minutes
The tricep/bingo wing on that lady's arm was huge 💪🏻
😳😳😳
I bet she could give you a good old fashioned with that arm 👌🏻
Holy sh*t the way that bike jumped when he rapped that throttle testing it!!
Wicked! Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
The top fuel Harleys are awesome, but I have been a Spiderman Larry McBride fan forever! If you haven't heard of him, check him out- he's riding a kawasaki nitro bike and has been the fastest man on two wheels for a long time.
@@cycledrag I like the Nitro Harleys because they are the most sketchy and coolest sounding lol! I really like the veriety the most ;)
Greetings from Asheville NC. Wow 😳 Harley 's and Busa's! Just " Super Man " !
Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
From Sturgis mi born and raised nice to see a motor from my hometown taken a win! My dad and Romine were high school buddies
Amazing Chris Moore is running 6.2@233 on a street tire no wheel bar bike this sport has grown so fast
I used to drag race, never felt good about a win from my opponents mistake. Sure much better than a loss but not the same. I have a Harley don't get me wrong but those Harley's do not have a chance unless something happens in the other lane.
I don't feel bad about a win against an opponents misfortune. A big part of the game is getting your machine to go the distance. If their junk breaks, and mine didn't, well my junk went the distance this time, and I'll enjoy the win. There WILL be times when your junk doesn't make the distance and somebody else will capitolize on it. Enjoy every win you get... We all work HARD for them, and sometimes you get lucky.
I wish I knew about the Sacramento race because I’d have been there to watch ‘live’.
Great coverage as usual, Jack!!
From one Pisano to another, stay safe and keep the shiny side up.
Next year! Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
@@cycledrag
All of them. I know that answer might not be specific enough, but I’ve owned both inline fours and V-twins. They both have positive and negative about em. Being on two wheels and ‘in the wind’ is all that should matter.
When I was in my 20’s and 30’s brand mattered. Mostly because HD had a bad reputation mechanically. Nowadays they are as dependable as many Japanese bikes. Hope that was a sufficient answer? 😎
You show one race between a HD and a Suzuki. Is this a joke? WTF!
Am I funny to you, Am I clown (Pecsi voice lol) Did you watch it all? 3 total Harley vs. Suzuki runs in a 4 bike bike showdown - Ruggeiro vs. Rissling (twice) and Justice vs. Patrick. If it were not a clean Harley sweep you would have seen another in the final.
This is off subject . But I have a question for Jack. When is cycle drag going to be at Farmington dragway?
Are there any motorcycle events there this year? I was there last year with teh All Harley World Shootout. Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
Who on earth wants to watch bycicles cycling down a drag strip?
My eyes are burning from the nitro methan from here. Lol. Too a couple days to get the smell outta the house from Martin Motorsports park when the nitro Harley’s came to town❤️🇺🇸
New here. Whats the difference between a nitro harley and a top fuel bike? This stuff is awesome. So glad I found the channel😁
Congrats Tony....and thank you Jack from Oregon.....
Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
First time I've seen this chan. GREAT presentation. Nothing boring. Congrats!
Harley of course! Why? Because you can just buy a Busa off the floor and run 9's. You need to put blood, sweat, tears and a lot of money to make a Harley run like that. Then there's the torque, you gotta learn to control that torque. I hear it's like riding a bull lol
What the fast bike in the world?........Suzuki, aka the Spiderman, lol.
@@raynic1173 no doubt about it. But, could Larry keep a TF Harley pointing straight for the quarter mile? In line 4's power rolls on a lot smoother than a pounding v twin. Watch a slow motion video of a nitro Harley. There's a lot going on with the back tire.
@@Sam590ss no doubt, the guys a legend and still kicking all their asses being twice their age....
@@raynic1173 I love to go fast, but I'd be scared to death on that monster.
@@Sam590ss yeah...it's something you have to build up to, for sure...all kidding aside all these bikes are insane, peace.
These guys are setting the bar age is just a number
11:27 idk if it’s just the way it looked but i swore the left lane was way past the right lane. WoW that bike launches!
It still amazes me they do not require some kind of a shield to the drivers chest if the engine comes apart. Maybe cars do not need a clutch shield anymore.
This guy's sunglass tan is amazing
Me?
i dont care about the brand, a fast Bike is a fast bike, everybody should be happy with what he prefers, 2 or 3 or 4 cylinders --it dosn`t matter-WHERE ARE THE 6 CYLINDERS ?
The written abbreviation for 'versus' isn't pronounced 'verse'. It's still versus. Just as easy to say, takes up less room for graphic designers.
but suzuki actually have suzuki parts.. not a single harley part on those bikes..
But It's a Harley design. 45 degrees with pushrods. Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
Big boy can ride. Damn right!!!
Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
Harley all day!!!!
Explain why please.
@@cycledrag I work for the motor company so of course I’m partial lol. But you met the best people on a Harley 😎
So awesome that an "old fulla" embraces new technology.
He's the man! Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
@@cycledrag I love them all! I used to road race an F1 GS1000r back in the day. Drag racing is amazing to me, the rules seem to be a cluster f#^k though, Harley? Suzuki? They seem to be not based on any production engine, especially the Harley. Maybe I should read the rules! FYI, a good friend of mine in NZ held the 1/4 1000cc record for many years, high 9's. Was a modified road bike prostock style CB900. Genuine 1000cc HRC kit, and the weird gearbox that Chernobles when the gas is shut off. I asked him about it once, "doesn't your gearbox shit itself if you shut off?" reply "Never has happened.... because if you shut off you lose." On a funnier note, I was once tasked by a very proud owner of his newly built supercharged Z1000 drag bike, dynod at 53rwhp. The cheapest recommendation was to put it back to stock lol.
@@stevesangster626 Nitro-Harleys...No Harley parts in those motors, but the class is Air-cooled, pushrod V twins...maybe Englishman Allen Millyard should run that 305 cubic inch 'V' twin he made from a couple radial aircraft cylinders...
This for all the harley haters. Awsome , 1000 hp between your legs at 200mph has to be intensed...
It’s amazing what several wads of cash will do for ya;)
He wishes it was 1000hp
Just curious, what percentage of a top fuel harley drag bike is made by harley? 5%? 3%?
Good day to race...Fri-Sat it was over 100 degrees...
Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
@Chooch Chipperson yes...now long gone..Orange County Raceway, and Lions in Long beach...pretty close to sea level...especially Lions...
Now that's what I'm talking about, both V twins wins.
I appreciate the invocation and patriotism. "Merica!!!!
3:59, get out of the water box before lighting it up, drag racing 101.
What a noob!

I agree... You dont want to spray water all over everything, and then have it dripping all over your tire on the way down the track. 😕
Thank you... love the big nitro bikes !
...& a 6 in the finials 🏁(very cool)
Daaaannnng, how about the V Twins.
They were laying it down 👌
Life is a highway , I wanna drive it all night long.
I like the Harley!!!!
Explain why please
No replacement for displacement
I saw a top Fuel Harley at NHRA At Maple Grove my home track
I do prefer the 4 cyl but I love top full full stop stay safe all
Sweet, explain!
Awesome, Way to go Tony
Great to see Nigel Patrick..I Have some pics of his bike in 80`s at Santa Pod (Suzuki) .. from Memory it was very Fast , Turbo`d n air shifter? Ish? Great Days ..
If it pops rice take it to Frank the nice if it's a Harley you're definitely gnarly
Its good to watch when theres not a bunch of idiots all over the track at the starting line .
I lean towards the nitrous because I have seen the pro mods motorcycles at Huntsville Alabama
Tell me why you enjoy them please.
@@cycledrag because they are hard to tune the track has to be good and most of my friends here in Huntsville ride the pro mods
Wow, almost as fast as a naturally aspirated prostock! 🤣 but I dig it🤙🏻
What do I like ? HARLEY'S !!!
Why ? Their HARLEY'S !!! Nuff said 👍👍
Good to see you Jack
It’s roo-gee-AIR-oh. NOT rooj-EAR-eh-oh. The I comes after the G not after the last R. Basic Italian.
I remember when sub 8s were a new thing in NHRA Too Fuel. Doing that on two wheels incredible!

Sweet! Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
@@cycledrag Well back in the day when everyone in my college town was rolling Honda 50s and the bold Super 90s I started on a 250 2 stroke Yam YDS-2. Blew it up twice in six months.
Then the Angel of motorcycles smiled on me and a got a very built up 600cc Norton Dominator fitted with a vertical racing head Dunstall internals etc.
Now trying to acquire a Hinckley Trumpet preferably a speed triple or Daytona with the 955i engine. Low 11s in stock trim.
Like HDs but won’t throw crazy money just to get a fast bike that everyone expected. Mostly like raw power unlimited. And the runoff between them.
But as a serious fan of Big Daddy Don Garlits I really like the idea of the pro mod. But if I were 30 years younger I’d love to ride that 7 second “street Harley”.
I immediately subbed and will watch your vids to keep me going til I can find a fast semi sleeper bike. And even after.
Enjoy watching busas but will not ride another “flying lawnmower engine” bike just because. Used to think it was parallel twins all the way but have come to understand the strong points of triples.
Just keep showing different fast setups going head to head and I will be a regular viewer.
/s/ Matt’s dad Dan
I remember when E.J. Potter... 'The Michigan Madman' was running 150 on the bike with Fuel-Injected 327...!
@Chooch Chipperson He was my first Motorsport hero when I was in jr hi. Still one of my favorites.
Wazzup? After an 84 yo guy said he bought a Rocket 3 as a returning big bike rider I realized I am still a young man. With the help of a super friend I just acquired an 02 Triumph Daytona 955i low mile one owner. My friend will be bringing it East next month. So it’s me that’s up. Back on 2!
@Chooch Chipperson And shiny side up!
I feel the need…
Seeing a air filter on a turbo race bike makes you really think .
Tell me more
@@cycledrag After my 2 stroke Yam blew up twice in one year my mechanic told me 2 strokes more susceptible to damage from bad air.
I am assuming it’s because most 4 stroke full on engines get rebuilt often so air cleaners have no effect on engine longevity. But apparently dust is an issue even during the relatively short time between rebuilds.
Good observation. Anyone else have a better idea why an air cleaner on a full on drag motor? /s/ Matt’s dad Dan
PS angling for an 11 ish ET 20 year old bike right now. Acceleration is where it’s at.
Oh, HELL NO !
THIS IS INSANE !
There is a reason why they pray before every race.
They might go down the track ,
But they just might not come back.
I'd rather drink nitromethane , than to put it in a Harley and straddle it.
james ward....YOU HAVE CLASS!
Thanks a lot for watching, commenting and sharing. Which bikes do you find more entertaining and why? The Nitro Harleys? The Turbo Hayabusas? Or the Nitrous Pro Mod?
Heat up the sledgehammer!
Harley cannot beat the 4's under equal conditions. Everybody knows that. They've handicapped Suzuki for so long they damn near need to drag anchors behind them.
And the 4s are not fair to the 2s.
Except they wouldn’t be able to because they don’t make enough torque to pull a anchor! Harleys rule!!!!
They call them nitro Harleys? Is there one part of that motor the Harley Davidson builds ?
And him squated down with that gun
personally I'm a Harley type of dude because my I got two members of my family that have Harleys my dad and my uncle and pretty soon I'll probably be owning a tri glide I can't own a Street glide cuz with the way my balance is but @cycledrag I'm thinking about taking a broke down tri glide and tune it turning it into a drag racer what do you think
Cool, tell me more!
@@cycledrag well I don't have exact plans in my head but I'm thinking about taking a Harley tri glide stripping it down taking all the the accessories and everything off leave me just a bare frame putting a front like fenders on it rear fenders and putting probably a twin turbo or nitrous V-Twin in it and putting two big slicks on the back the reason why I'm going to be building a tri-glide is because the with the way my equilibrium is I can't write a regular two-wheel bike so that's kind of what I've got in my head it could change I don't know but I'll keep you updated
Just found this channel
Love it
Thx
Use big 12 gage bulletd through heat
HAWG'S, Dawgs!!!! Just plain AMERICAN, Just plain TOUGH!!!!
Explain why please
@@cycledrag , #HawgsAreAwesome
congradulations Tony Great Race
Harley Davidson FTW! Mainly for 🇺🇸 history.
How did I miss this damn I live right down the street been going to sac raceway since 1965
Raced a Harley for over 20 years, just cant take the launches anymore. I had to give up my bagger for a trike so i bought a Boss Hoss Sierra Trike with a Cammed LS3 and 490hp. Its fun to ride but dont pass a gas station.
Harley fan for ever!
What exactly is the unbelievable clickbait part of this?
Sometimes my 124hp gives me wide eyes with too much throttle off the traffic light....1000hp!!!!!
6 on a twin 😳
This guy looks like Martin Short
What are you going to do with him running in place
It dragged out a bit, pardon the pun but it took along time for this video to make its point
For me its ALL Harley everything!!!!!!!
Its so funny how they call thoes bikes. Harley, Suzuki, etc.. there inst one part that they can buy from a dealer. Lol
There’s no substitute for cubic inches!! Harley dominates!!!
There's no losses in Christ. Blue is 👍
Beautiful run for the SON!!!!!!
6:96 🏍🏍🏍😳
Maybe we can change those Suzuki youngbf
Change those young Suzuki fans over to Harley now that old rumor Harley s are slow ain't true 😂😎🔥

Nice win..
One thing to remember, v twin Harley’s rode across Japan in ‘45. Where was suzuki?
One thing to remember a Japanese bike is the fastest and quickest on two wheels in the 1/4 mile. E.t. 5.61 @ 268mph.
