Royal Enfield Racing - Double Tap: Royal Enfield Twin IHRA Drag Bike Up Close

[@Jay_Speed]

I did drag racing in 1989 and 1990 with a Yamaha FZR 1000 Exup in Europe, so I can relate to your story. It's good to see that you are enjoying yourself.

[@defender1006]

Hi there from the UK, just loving your channel and content, thanks so much for your 'down to earth' explanations of the bike and Drag Racing. I don't own a Royal Enfield 650 twin, but you and your channel's making me want to have one of my own! Good luck with all your endeavors on the track and the street.

[@petebird7171]

Really impressed with the weight loss on the bike, especially the front forks, I think I could talk to you guys for hours and hours about all the technicalities of drag racing, great video, thanks for posting 👍👍👍👍👍

[@chriscoates2399]

Boy I get exited at the look ! the sound ! and your explanations Can't wait to see videos of you up level on the Line and race ... BEAUTIFUL BIKE

[@tonyfitzpatrick6799]

Another great video guys! I’m so happy to see them every week or two . Big thumbs up!

[@thunderstruckperform]

Awesome always looking forward to the next video and it definitely didn’t disappoint, great bike and awesome work guys

[@heldersantiago6515]

Woot, another video! Been waiting all week. Cheers from Brazil!

[@frankstocker5475]

So rare to see a couple looking in the same direction. Congrats. Riding bikes can be such a Drag.

[@RevelryCycles]

Couldn't agree more!

[@raksdachamp5527]

A brief peek into drag racing. It’s always nice to learn from the best. To us these bikes are for leisure for you these bikes have real purpose and meaning. It’s good to see y’all’ together, perfecting the recipe.

[@markgilson7621]

You too are great..I’ll definitely come and visit when I’m next in Sydney..I do love my RE Conti 650..Catch you soon. M

[@mellow8066]

Detailed n very informative👍👏👏👏

[@andybryant1772]

I realized I new very little about drag bikes after seeing this. Thanks for the info.

[@tonyfitzpatrick6799]

I’m laughing at Will’s face while Santina talks about riding the bike!

[@DEeMONsworld]

I'm an old (very old) drag racer, interesting to see how things have progressed so much. I'm from the stand over the bike pop the clutch and sit down as the seat hits you in the butt school. (1960's) with the stock RE I'd be afraid of that technique because of the short wheelbase and 18" wheels. Thanks for your enthusiasm.

[@ChocolatePie-by1ot]

Was a blast to watch

[@AxelHartleben]

Well explained no show off and good perspective of whats makes sense

[@RevelryCycles]

Thanks mate!

Gostei das legendas muito bom.... Very good

[@allsearpw3829]

Great people ,very interesting drag racing ,like nothing else . It seems as if they have the R.E. s well and truly sorted . How about as Aussie entrance for the I.O.M. TT RACE .

Isle of Man TT eh? Hmmm...

@@RevelryCycles The 'Super Twins' class is for 650cc bikes, the whole 'Road Racing' series of races have their own classes as well the more usual Super Bike, Super Sport and Super Stock classes etc? I know you'd get loads of support from the UK!

[@lancasterjim2441]

Wow I’m excited great video I gota try racing

[@RevelryCycles]

If you're local make sure to come to our class

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

I like the drag bike. I like that the paint colors are the same as Kyoto Tachibana Senior High School Band Brass Club.

Awesome work on the bike and nicely explained. The big bore kit implementation you have nailed it. I am sure you have thought about installing turbos on the drag bike as well. Are you considering a dual turbo or single turbo or no turbo at all? It would be nice to hear your views on it.

[@blazesboylan7947]

I'm looking forward to hearing about the design details of your big valve cylinder head. Having installed the 865 kit on a bike with the stock head (mentioned in a previous episode), did you get an opportunity to run a comparison? Great work!

[@black8art]

Any dreams of taking your bikes to Bonneville? You obviously have the tech to do it, so why not push a little further and maybe break a record or two?

[@a.j.alberti518]

Regarding the twin drive setup; why not add a spacer at the counter shaft sprocket to move the chain clear of the tire? Would that not be simpler/lighter?

[@allsearpw3829]

[@alroymenezes]

Amazing build. Possibly overbuilt. The fastest RD350s in Bangalore, India do mid 11s . And Will's face XD

[@toddcott9510]

From Scotland. Yeah, that is impressive. My RD400 would also run low 11s My best to you.

[@spartanwarrior37]

A true beauty!! The tank looks bigger ,is it a custom build?

[@spartanwarrior37]

Greetings from Romania! Keep up the good work

[@RevelryCycles]

Its a stock fuel tank with custom paint.

[@aroshannewahangrai1883]

❤️❤️❤️

[@fiamun]

Would enlarging the fuel lines be necessary for this type of bike? The standard line from tank to injectors be sufficient? Just a thought I had....quiet day......

[@RevelryCycles]

The stock system, pump and injectors, is good for around 100 hp as is.

[@nathanielfisher4269]

Where did you get that swing arm from,and what does it cost?

[@RevelryCycles]

It’s a one off. We had it made by TracDynamics. I don’t remember how much it cost but it was A LOT and it took over a year from order to delivery.

[@nathanielfisher4269]

@@RevelryCycles I am trying to pull off that same look and function of an extended swingarm built for drag bikes. I know that they have extension kits out there. But none of them are made for Enfields, and thank you for responding. I appreciate the info.

[@brockett]

Very nice video and very impressive bike. MPH is the right measure and we all know the French invented KPH to make their machines seem faster ;0). ET is all about punctuallity, don't go early and don't arrive early. Just get to the end in the slowest time but ahead of the bike in the adjacent lane. And then you practice in high sun and race day it's cloudy or vice versa and then the time predictions are "out the window" . Tyre pressures can change with temperature and all these fractions can work for you or against you. As for luck... I don't think being lucky wins as much as the absence of bad luck. Best wishes for 2021 from here in the UK.

[@ngurhminglianasailo7335]

is it possible to fit the stock exhaust system (bendpipe included) from left side to right side vice versa on the interceptor 650?

[@RevelryCycles]

But why?

[@ngurhminglianasailo7335]

@@RevelryCycles thanks for the reply. reason is i like the stock exhaust sound, but the mufflers are wide apart. i want to make them look more narrow like make them closer to each other 😅

Hi again. What's the 0 to 100 kmph timing of the bike?

[@RevelryCycles]

No idea since we are already going faster than that by half track

[@vaibhavverma2960]

Where'd you got these Alloys from

[@RevelryCycles]

Those are RC Components drag race wheels. Designed to go in a straight line on a flat surface and not appropriate for street use. We discuss them in the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYjWgK1rrqxkkLssi=FRXay3IvjQrCRS0x&t=1198

[@anuroopvinod]

please test and tell us the 0 to 100 of this bike..

[@RevelryCycles]

0 to 100 kph is just not something one ever measures with a bike like this. Most recently (17 April 2021) it ran1/8 mile in 7.139 seconds at 95.98 mph and 1/4 mile in 11.401 seconds at 111.24 mph. That's how we measure performance. You can extrapolate from these numbers that 0 to 100 kph is PRETTY DAMN QUICK!

[@malcolmmathers2690]

GOOD..LUCK...

[@allsearpw3829]

Eh ? Hmm, Hi or do a Burt Monrow ,One good run ,a book and a film ,on the Bonneville Salt flats should you fancy a trip State side again , as he was from Aussie . Get Guy Martin on board an ex TT rider and has raced at Bonneville and features on the UK TV and You Tube and does not mind getting his hands dirty and knows the film makers . I will be glad when the pandemic is over and lock down , a ride on my trike to clear my head and have a look at an R.E . Take care .

[@RevelryCycles]

Burt Monroe was from New Zealand. Happy to take the bike to Bonneville you buying our tickets and freight?

[@stankropiunik2539]

How do you ride it 11:56 ??? Now with all the performance-enhancing add-ons, what is the role of a rider ??? Just that rules dictate.................. a bike should have a human being strapped on top? Gone are the days of any sort of genuine racing, where the riders skill made all the difference. With this machine, I too could be a drag race champion. Just my perspective!

[@RevelryCycles]

That's called "Bench Racing"... It looks easy from the grandstands. 😉 Unless you're on the bike in the other lane you're a spectator.

[@thunderstruckperform]

On a bike this consistent in a class like modified which is one of the hardest classes in drag racing the riders skill is the difference between wining and losing, it takes nerve, consistency and focus but this is from the experience of being a seasoned racer and I can see it being hard to understand if you have only been a spectator

[@aakashtingare6138]

It this drag bike big bore'd?

[@RevelryCycles]

Yes it's 865cc

[@toddcott9510]

I hate to have to say it. But for the mods in this bike,11. Is not that impressive. I have ran faster on smaller, and a lot cheaper. Keep at it I would hope to see you run in the 8s.

[@RevelryCycles]

We look forward to seeing your 8 second Royal Enfield Todd. It looks easy from the cheap seats don't it?
