It was quite some time my friend actually built a drag pepped RX135 for his customers. So here comes a student of automobile engineering wanting to build a drag pepped RX135 for his academic project.

As the pic suggests, its a totally shagged bike & will have to built right from scratch. Except the chasis & crank cases we will not be using anything from the current bike.

Our drag RX135 has till date done a best of 13.2 secs for quarter mile blast in the year 2009. We dont intend to build this bike that fast, but it will be fast.

For starters it will be a big bore project & estimated top speed in excess of 140Kmph.

More details will be added as & when the process kicks off.

Ouch thats a real poor state of living for the RX. May you bring this one back to life and pride.
What are the bikes that you run for drags.
Will you be present for the upcoming event in Bangalore. Speedway Motorsports,India

Asif currently we are running RX100 & RX135 for drags. The RD, i have my doubts if it will be ready by this weekend.

If the drags are sure to be held in B'lore, then we will be there. Man, the venue has not been finalized yet!!!!! I have my doubts if we will have it in Jakkur.

The event is most likely to be at Whitefield. I guess you can download the forms and see for the exact location of the event. Will update incase i get to knwo more information. The only use of FB is this, most events are updated and shared.

Will be looking forward to see your bikes in action.

Yes, there are 2 bikes getting ready. But the RD is for real world racing, whereas the RX mentioned in this thread will be delivered to the customer & will not participate in any events, its more of an academic interest project.

Not sure if you have seen this form (attached), it is mentioned as TBA (To Be Announced) in all important fields. With just 3 days to go, do you think it will be possible to organize such a big event with venue still un-disclosed???

Take my word, it will be postponed & most likely shifted to H'bad.

I have no clue on whitefield location, is there a strip available there?

I even heard many tuners from B'lore were getting ready for this event & also there was a practice session on NICE road, guess they were out there doing timing check.

Kindly update. Thanks.
