Topic: Well it was a bike...

There is a snowmobile guy here in town, has a quick sled.. 8 sec 1/4's on pavement.

One day I go to his shop and he has a Kawi dragbike there 1400cc reversed head and a blower I think it had.  didnt ask why it was there..

Well last year I found out he detuned it and put it in a sled!!!

Will try to get more info on it, it is called X-Rated and run by CR Racing.. it is pretty quick... and he has come off it at 120mph at a hillclimb.. ...some of the fun stuff they build around here..

Sorry guys, I screwed up..it is called Rated R and owned by Chad Rebec...CR Racing

I am link challenged but if you search Rated R  and Chad Rebec, there are loads of articles..

The good part... they DETUNED it.. so now it only makes 750 HP...!!

800~1000 Hp. That would be more than double the power output of the most powerful aircooled Kawasaki ever built.
Where does he get his numbers from?

I still don't understand why the snowmobile is on a crane or helicopter....

oh that, They were filming it for a Extreme video I think.

 I dont think it is really trailrideable.. sorta like running a  rail on a gravel road.. just not made for it, bet its very hard on nitr as well

 Because it is running on nitro, it said they had to pack a generator ,blankets etc to get everything warm enough to run where they were filming. They had to find a long enough hill to allow for its speed, he has come off it at 120 mph. At his shop he had a pic on his computer of one of his other sleds about 30 ft in the air at the top of a hillclimb.. one that most machines donot get up or barely make it.. His 2 stroke wouuld do 8 sec 1/3s on pavement..

Cool.. The guy with the Kawi built a few tripples, big Twins with another cylinder welded on, welds them up himself. I like going in there once in a while to see the trick parts..like the adjustable dome heads, neat stuff.

 Where these sleds run when they are filming there is huge powder. I think if they break down, it would be hard to pull one out. I worked in that area have sen 3ft overnight...
