Mini bike drag racing is going to a whole new level as we take you to the All Harley World Shootout at Farmington Dragway to watch a methanol mini bike race a full-sized Harley Davidson Road Glide. We also see a mini bike crash and a mini bike wheelie fail and take you inside the pits to get a close look at all the mini bike builds, mini bike mods and we will explore why mini bike racing is growing so quickly, especially at the bigger motorcycle drag races.

    I am 100% for it. Anything to get kids and young adults out racing works for me and I'm 74 years old. Been racing since I was 18.
  • I like the minis. It is a wide open category of drag racing with an ultra low buy-in that anyone can learn and take to as high a level as they desire.
  • @joesbuell
    This video made me go brush my teeth!
  • @cunderthunt
    That’s impressive! My FTRs fastest pass in the 1/8th is 7.0 and 10.98 in the 1/4! Gotta start building a mini bike now!!
  • It's crazy really. I was huge into mini bikes back in the early 2000's with Yahoo! Groups and BBS. Mini bike people were laughed at back then. My first "race/toy vehicle" was a Tote Goat back then. I've gotten back into them the last couple years, and I'm glad they are getting more and more main stream recognition and respect the past couple years.

    Jack, I'm just absolutely loving this video..... and what a super nostalgic trend we're seeing her! - Hey, how about that guy on Sporty loosing his horsy!?😂😂😂
  • I love all entry level motorcycle drag racing! That’s why I love the dirt drags! At the dirt drags you have every level of the spectrum of drag racers! All the way through and up to Top Fuel!
  • I am all for it. Inexpensive way to have fun, compete, and to use fabrication skills.
  • Sooo glad these are becoming popular again!!! I have many built mini bikes even a drag in the 70’s! Always loved them!!!
  • @TedTucholski
    I see a lot of slow bikes there. Although I must say the minibike at the end of the video doing a 6.79 is quite impressive.
  • I am 52 and have 2 mini bikes, 1 has a stage 2 performance kit in it,my other 1 is still being built. The frame was a baja warrior that was crashed and the guy who crashed sold the motor and gave me the frame and i cut it apart and rebuilt it . Will be posting pics and vids of the whole process on YouTube
  • @jsmythib
    Big upgrades from the ole Rups. :) Great to see all the fabrication- I look forward to more!
  • Mini vs bagger was cool man, but you nailed it, I don't believe they'll (mini bikes)be a money maker for the tracks, they'll need their own track or own time at the track, and have their fans come out to watch and help the sport grow
  • Nothing but ear to ear grins from me. I can admit a big part of my childhood was on a mini. Yep after a short period of ownership the carb, intake and exhaust saw tweaking. 92 mph in a 1/8th is stunning. I was not putting any faith in the Harley to win. Now I’m wondering if my ZX6R would do any better.
  • Because It's fun man! I'm 60yrs down the road and I love mini bikes! Thanks for sharing. I'm going take mine to the digs this year... J.

    I love that this is getting pretty popular,like they say it's cheap to get 3 times the power,also a great way to teach a son of nephew the basic on combustible engines how they work which will help them later on in life ,cars - trucks ,Lawn n garden when they get there first home,IAM 58 and just built a motor for a mini bike just to have fun with older son n my grand children n it gets them outside instead of being inside on a game or phone
  • man this was a good video. well put together bud. first time ever seeing the mini bike drag scene. and you make a great point, its going to impact spectators. it can get redundant. CycleDrag, i always appreciate your content
  • Yesss! 😄👏 cheap, easy, and small footprint! Jr. Drag engines on the little bikes are pretty sweet!
