1000HP "FJ1200"

[Dan Filetti]

Just picked up the Aug. issue of "Superbike", a UK rag I read, and it has a line on the cover that caught my eye:

"1000hp Yamaha FJ1200 Are they serious?"

Turns out that there's this top fuel drag bike that is, for the sake of the rules, "based on the FJ1200".  That is, it has the same cylinder bore center spacing and stud layout as the FJ1200.  Other than this though, this $80,000 1000HP, 1100 Ft. Lbs of torque, super charged (0-60: .7 seconds, 0-100: 1.1 seconds 1/4 mile: "low sixes") -14inch wide rear tire, monster, has no relationship.

Here's the guys' website/ pic of the bike FYI:
