Title: V8 Superbike drag racing

V8 Superbike drag racing (http://www.dpccars.com/motorcycle-11/01-26-11page-V8-Superbike-drag-racing.htm)

The V8 engine has so much torque it burns out the entire length of the track.

Dang!
Wonder when that video was made; I heard them say something about it being 1 of only 2 v-8 powered bikes in the world, and there's quite a few these days. :-/

I've only heard of the Boss Hoss, at least as far as production bikes go.

I think it was back in the 70's there was a guy called The Michigan Madman. He had a V8 powered bike. He would go around dragstrips and do demo runs. He would come through the local dragsrip here once a year, it was a sight to see especially back in those days.

There are also choppers built with V8's.... called V8 choppers, as well as Boss Hoss.
