Best run at 9.34 on a re-geared ZX-10R. That chap has some impressive launching skills indeed.

Hard to tell, he seemed to be taking off at different revs each time... but then again, he could be adjusting it...

On cars, "strapped" is tieing the cyl. head on in case of catastrophic failure, the straps provide a secondary restraint.

Strapped to me means tying down the front suspension so it's fully compressed. Handy tip for those wanting to get off the line quick but I'm not sure if that's what he means.

I think you are right there Mr WT. Just looked at the vid again and I could see that the front fairing was nearly touching the front guard. The front wheel didn't seem to move down when the front came up either.

But that is pretty impressive in anyone's books.
