'''Sportbike [[motorcycle drag racing]]''' involves modern [[sportbikes]] such as [[Suzuki]] and [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]] taken off the street and to the track. These motorcycles from the showroom floor such as the [[Suzuki Hayabusa]] can run in the 9 second zone in the 1/4 mile with barely any modifications. This type of drag racing could possibly be the easiest, and fastest way to get the chance to run down a drag racing strip.
