Anyone here have a drag bike? I'm thinking about getting one but don't know which one I should get. Any recommendations for a beginner?

thanks

Never raced a bike, but was watching a show on TV a few weeks ago with a couple of bike wrecks... man, it looks horrible when they lose control.

I can imagine it will much more terrific to your self when loosing control of a bike than a car.

As you are exposed were as in a car you are slightly protectc, Bikes look to dangerous to me.

depends on how fast vs how much cash you got.
And old harley 883 is fun and has its own class for racing.
Then you can step up from there.
