Took the SD 1290 to the 1/4 drag strip last night. I was disappointed in my times, best I could do is 11.103 129.73 mph in street mode.
I couldn't keep the front end down even with wheelie control.
I know it's mostly my fault and having a -1 front sprocket.
What numbers have you guys gotten?

Would expect better figures than that out of the 1290.
Best I managed out of the 990 was 11.5 and that was also a struggle keeping the front down but run with a full tank to help out.
Keep and eye on the tacho and change a little early, make sure you dont hit the rev limiter as it just wastes time.
Your TV is not bad though @207 kph but a fair bit shy of KTM quoted 0-200kph in 7 sec.
Why run in street mode and not sport?
Havent taken the 1290 down the strip yet but hopefully will get a chance before the end of summer. Be happy with a sub 11sec.
