all of the videos of these bikes here on youtube seriously do them no justice. they are so much more serious to look at and watch race in person then in video...
I reckon this is my church, to watch this every few days, Doug, Damian, Ray Price, as always, past my bed time, my bikes run on parts cleanin solvent, YOU ROCK! Matt.
I really can't understand why someone would want to put music over a drag racing video. I love music but when I watch a drag racing video I want to hear the sound of the cars.
+Porkchop's Papi There seems to always be some BLOKE like you that includes "everyone" in their "nobody" comments. I love the sound of Harley-Davidson motors at any level of competition! I had to DEAL with the rubbish YOU call "high talent music", by turning the bloody volume down once I figured out it was not going away!
+Mark Paddy. No it isn't child. It's because English sailors didn't know why they were getting scurvy only after long voyages. And then finding out citrus fruits kept them from getting it. So, that's probably not what's wrong with you. Keep commenting so we can figure out if your problem is more than just that your an angry child.
These blokes are having an Awesome time riding a bike that is bordering on being out of control due to the Torque twist of the engine, literally balanced on the rear wheel by hanging of the opposite side of the bike to control it and many of you don't find it impressive. If you cant appreciate it for what it is then why bother watching in the first place. These blokes are a little akin to the Horsemen Of The Apocalypse and some of you just want to carry on and bitch as to whether a rice burner is a better bike. Why not just appreciate the skill in controlling it, the engineering in building it and the opportunity the movie presents to see something from some one else's perspective.
Pete Grice Most of these lames will never know the excitement of hurling yourself down the 1/4 or 1/8 mile in a home made contraption that’s just on the edge of blowing up. when I was just graduating high school I campaigned a big block chevelle that I built in my dads driveway. It was such a kick in the pants to line up and run all out at the green light. Mine wasn’t a fancy race car but I kicked a lot of ass with it. Nothing like “tripping the lights fantastic” meaning getting through those timing lights at the end of the track first. People just don’t understand. And don’t get me started on Nitromethane 😄😄
I am so jealous..... last time i was there was 2005 i posted tommy grimes explosion and ended up meeting Ray Price and Doug V that weekend. Friends to this day.
riding a wheelie all the way down the track with the handlebar slightly twisted to one side. looks like a good way to highside when the front wheel hits the ground again.
OnStrike4Ever this is top fuel it’s outlaw top fuel and I’ve learned outlaw guys can’t run nowhere near as fast as the real thing there always 75-100mph slower I watched some outlaw top fuel funny they were running 190-210 sad
man, one thing goes wrong, and that bike will turn into a several thousand horsepower grenade. respect to these riders and god bless them! they put on a good show ;)
Ray Price was a righteous dude to visit with the dealership was renamed an under new management tobacco road Harley Davidson N.C. Will be sorely missed R.I.P. 👊👊
lots of V twin configured strokers which are not HD bottom ends, barrels and heads, ironically big disposable horsepower from good engineering places, one was a good mate of mine, John Trease here in Oz, he's been gone a few years now, hehehe memories
My hat is off to the riders that can gather it back, & still make a safe pass !!! Hell, my hat is off to all of them !!! I heard a great racer say gas is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking, if you want to race you use Nitro Methane. That was Eddie Hill.
To be honest guys I've been to two NHRA meets at The Strip and there were no Top Fuel Bikes running. Have the NHRA fallen out with these guys ??? I think it's a crying shame that a company whose name is synonymous with American history isn't part of the NHRA meets. Top Fuel Bikes ar the fastest accelerating engine bikes on the planet and they should be there for these big meets !
You guys need to realize something. Top Fuel V-Twins don't have much Harley Davidson in them. They use S & S billet heads and crankcases, S & S carbs. Saying a top fuel Harley is a Harley is like saying a top fuel hemi is a Chrysler.
More Delkron than S&S. Not true on the made in USA either. The only failed part on my bike has been the Hecho en Mexico steering head bearings. So far everything but the forks were made in USA and for all I know they may have been too. The video is one of the best I have seen that actually shows that riding a TF bike is not for the faint of heart.
Yours must be different that the Superglide I had. I bought a new tire, watched the guy mount it. Those nice machined aluminum rims had a big Made In Taiwan sticker on the inside of the rim. I bought the bike. new out of the dealer's showroom.
+mystic1754 My point being that the content of the vid didn't match the title. In marketing that's called a "bait and switch" and it's not only illegal, it's sleazy.
I'm glad I watched the video before I read the comments, it was bad to the bone, walking the front end and exploding off the line, far out man, for me the music just added to the excitement and you could still hear the motors, seems like the whole world is just looking for the negative in everything these days, so they'll have something to cry about, watch the show and be happy, it was free,
I can`t stop watching this video! who made it & would whoever be intrested in making loads more? cos I for one will watch them over and over untill my eyes bleed :D
depends on the application, if you drag racing you and all that low end torque a v twin can produce, inline fours are better for road racing with such high redlines and a broader power band. don't quote me on this i'm just going off what i know with cars.
I wonder how much it cost the race team to hold up that paltry $8000 check. I'd guess the winner is losing money faster than the slower guys. You can make a small fortune drag racing............if you start out with a big one.
I've seen Funny cars that looked scary to run, I've seen dragsters tear themselves apart as they go down the and thought, that looks like it could be fun...But the fire breathing dragons shown in this video are without a doubt the most butt clinching terrors, I have ever seen run 1320. I fully expect that one day we will see one of those beasts, launch so hard that even the back wheel will unstick itself from the pavement and it will take off for parts unknown.
You know, I typically don't listen to this type of music, but this song went great with the nitro harleys " exploding " off the line ! Great video!
How could you not like this? I think I now prefer bike drags to cars in some ways. Crazy!!!! and great music. Thanks.
WOW! All those EXPLOSIONS were really something! They went along well with that Great Music! BAAAAAAAARRRRRFFFFFFFFFF!!!
Man! Gets my blood rushing every time I watch this

This is one of the best drag racing vids i`ve ever seen... i see a like button but where is the love button?
There is no better song to describe nitromethane !
Just incredible! Thanks for the ride! Beautiful machines!
Video was exhilarating!! Especially the video on the bike running down the drag strip!! WOW!! BADASS!! THNX
Shooting down the quarter mile on one wheel in under 7 seconds. Insane!
I really can't understand why someone would want to put music over a drag racing video. I love music but when I watch a drag racing video I want to hear the sound of the cars.
YEA THAT RITE LIKE CAMPING OUT AND BRINGING MUSIC TO RUIN THE QUITE NEXT BEST THING TO THE PEACE AND QUITE OF THE WOODS, ,, NITRO MATHINE
Especially when you're watching bikes :-) Na, i'm just messin around, you're right- I'd rather hear the motor too.
Especially Motley Crue garbage
Y'all sound like player haters
This song + this footage, what a rush!!!
Thank-you for that high talent music. Nobody who's interested in top fuel HD racing likes the sound of roaring Harley engines.
+Porkchop's Papi There seems to always be some BLOKE like you that includes "everyone" in their "nobody" comments. I love the sound of Harley-Davidson motors at any level of competition! I had to DEAL with the rubbish YOU call "high talent music", by turning the bloody volume down once I figured out it was not going away!
Yeah, You don't know sarcasm when you see it huh ?
I thought the same thing as you said. He must be a limey that doesn't have his own RUclips to go to.
+Mark Paddy. Calm down & go suck a lime. Your lack of vitamin C is causing you to rave.
+Mark Paddy. No it isn't child. It's because English sailors didn't know why they were getting scurvy only after long voyages. And then finding out citrus fruits kept them from getting it.

Very cool vid,I see them ever July in Epping NH. Thank you!
Not my kind of music, but I think it's way better than a lot of modern "rock" that you always get oin RUclips videos.
THAT VIDEO RIPS MY RUBBERS!!!! Friggin' EPIC!!!
damn i would like to hear the engines not music
music louder than bikes !!!
This video made me hear sound of nitro harleys in my head everytime when i hear kick start to my heart on radio! :D
These bikes are MONSTERS!
Lol must be crazy to tear apart a beatiful bike like a harley and place the powerhouse into a very light chassie and use race fuel instead
Awesome video
Music / noise ??? Would have been nice to heard the bikes 👎
They must really hate the sound of a Nitro burning Harley to put such crappy music over the top.
These blokes are having an Awesome time riding a bike that is bordering on being out of control due to the Torque twist of the engine, literally balanced on the rear wheel by hanging of the opposite side of the bike to control it and many of you don't find it impressive.

Real men with big bolas.I fucken love it. Maybe one day I can come to the trump empire to see it in real life.
Great video. Bad ass bikes. I would rather hear the motors instead of the music.

About as close as you can get to riding a Saturn Rocket!!!
I am so jealous..... last time i was there was 2005 i posted tommy grimes explosion and ended up meeting Ray Price and Doug V that weekend. Friends to this day.
These guys got REEEEL BIG ONES!!!!! Probably the scariest rides known to man!!!
ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=larry+mcbride+world+record
riding a wheelie all the way down the track with the handlebar slightly twisted to one side. looks like a good way to highside when the front wheel hits the ground again.
Interesting that a Harley needs Nitro to run that fast but all you got to do is slap a turbo on a Hayabusa and it'll run that fast.
Dam, that just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!!!!
Awesome Vid!!
This is just incredible.
man these guys are on another level - it looks pretty terrifying
wow that wheel barely touches the ground at the finish line everytime so awesome
still. a wonderful piece.
fantastic music. i race. screw the critics.
A question from me. Where is the music of this short show available?
First time I saw nitro Harleys on the track I was hooked!
Ok
1
Great video 💪🏿💯
Video well done !
Forget pro stock motorcycle! I want TOP FUEL motorcycle in NHRA!
OnStrike4Ever makes me think my PS is a scooter.lol
OnStrike4Ever this is top fuel it’s outlaw top fuel and I’ve learned outlaw guys can’t run nowhere near as fast as the real thing there always 75-100mph slower I watched some outlaw top fuel funny they were running 190-210 sad
man, one thing goes wrong, and that bike will turn into a several thousand horsepower grenade. respect to these riders and god bless them! they put on a good show ;)
The sound of the motor is the real music...
I remember seeing ray price n the 70s 80s one of my idols !!! HD RULES !!! from PORTLAND KY
closest thing to a star wars speeder bike to date
Ray Price was a
righteous dude to visit with the dealership was renamed an under new management tobacco road Harley Davidson N.C. Will be sorely missed R.I.P. 👊👊
Is there anything nitromethane doesn't go well with? Kick ass!
kickstart my heart
lots of V twin configured strokers which are not HD bottom ends, barrels and heads, ironically big disposable horsepower from good engineering places, one was a good mate of mine, John Trease here in Oz, he's been gone a few years now, hehehe memories
What's with the uphill track? Do they only race eigth miles here, or what?
i would like to more nitro Harleys on tv what happened to those days I've only been a fan since the 70 s
so where were the exploding bikes ???
Cool bikes, but what part is Harley?
I want to try that! NHRA Harley Davidon down the track...
is there anything marked with Harley davidson left on these bikes?
Aren't these nitro bikes just the shit!!! Dammit what a fkn ride!! LOVE IT!! ; )
Its called "you live under a rock" by the band Get with the times.
there's crazy, then there's top fuel bike riders.
how many horses are those pushing? around about number?
I think it's around 900hp. I have seen tf bikes live and they are so out of control you don't see alot of clean full runs. (At least I haven't)
Love it, I want one.
God Bless da Harleys
out of all the clinicaly insaine drag sports i have to say this and top fuel boats are the most syco, dont know which one takes the cake though
and where's the 'exploding' ??
Talk about riding a damn rocket, OMG! AWSOME😎
There are no harley bits they are all after market parts
So i'm guessing most of the bikes don't actually shift at all, they just red line it in first?
They have somthing close to a go cart transmission
explain that to me
The Gentleman I bought my 67 El Camino from was a Crew Chief on one of these Beasts says it only has 2. Gear shifted electronically
holy crap these guys are nuts!!! so sweet tho
I'm amazed that Harley's even made it down the strip, but I guess that's as far as most will even run.
A quick question: are these engines run normally-aspirated or is there a super-charger?
Wayne Templar Normally aspirated
+Wayne Templar : Both
i dont really care for harley's, but they do put the kick ass to the japenese drag bikes!
My hat is off to the riders that can gather it back, & still make a safe pass !!! Hell, my hat is off to all of them !!! I heard a great racer say gas is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking, if you want to race you use Nitro Methane. That was Eddie Hill.
What happened to nitro bikes? Did NHRA banned them?
You have to shake the back tires left and right for speed
well edited video and you used the only song that belongs in this type of video :)
To be honest guys I've been to two NHRA meets at The Strip and there were no Top Fuel Bikes running. Have the NHRA fallen out with these guys ??? I think it's a crying shame that a company whose name is synonymous with American history isn't part of the NHRA meets.

Badass Harleys man. Iron American Dream on RUclips. Share it. Take a ride across the promised land. Twist and Shout
What up with all the hatters on the music this shits fire
Motley crue lol
You guys need to realize something. Top Fuel V-Twins don't have much Harley Davidson in them. They use S & S billet heads and crankcases, S & S carbs. Saying a top fuel Harley is a Harley is like saying a top fuel hemi is a Chrysler.
So true, and they are so much more USA made than HD's are these day's.
More Delkron than S&S. Not true on the made in USA either. The only failed part on my bike has been the Hecho en Mexico steering head bearings. So far everything but the forks were made in USA and for all I know they may have been too.

bigrockets like you no what the fuck your talking about click bait fool who fucking cares.
thats some fast unicycling
The music killed it for me.
Motley Crue = Posers
right on ,musical bikes suck!
mickster boone It Totally BLOWS..
A lot of shitty music wrecks what could be good vids..
Motely nicked that intro from The Sweet's Hellraiser by the sound of it !
Agreed, Maybe and only Maybe something from the 1st album
if you replace pro stock bikes make sure you bring in larry McBride. but the Harley boys would never win!
@LolzMan7756 the only thing remotely harley about these bikes is that they use a 45 degree twin, thats where the similarities end.
Exactly 2 out of all these Harleys blew up. WTF ?
+mystic1754 My point being that the content of the vid didn't match the title. In marketing that's called a "bait and switch" and it's not only illegal, it's sleazy.
songs name ??
what on that bike is Harley Davidson?
The little 1"x2" sticker
+kevinfrmkdz lmao true
the HD decals....
Just Harley design...
I'm glad I watched the video before I read the comments, it was bad to the bone, walking the front end and exploding off the line, far out man, for me the music just added to the excitement and you could still hear the motors, seems like the whole world is just looking for the negative in everything these days, so they'll have something to cry about,
watch the show and be happy, it was free,
Good video.
This is as close to unicycle drag racing as you can get lol
I can`t stop watching this video! who made it & would whoever be intrested in making loads more? cos I for one will watch them over and over untill my eyes bleed :D
Good V twinage action !!!
Front wheel/tire..............optional! Hahahahaha!
jaaja for real =)
exploding ?
Oh, that must be why HD set ALL the records for drag racing. Look at any records book, any sort of bike racing - and see where HD wins. Doh!
depends on the application, if you drag racing you and all that low end torque a v twin can produce, inline fours are better for road racing with such high redlines and a broader power band. don't quote me on this i'm just going off what i know with cars.
what is name of song?:)
I wonder how much it cost the race team to hold up that paltry $8000 check. I'd guess the winner is losing money faster than the slower guys. You can make a small fortune drag racing............if you start out with a big one.
That would be like spending $5,000 in scratchy tickets over a years time then hitting a $25.00 one and thinking you won !!!!
Yes I totally agree!
Really impressive video !!!
Thanks DCR
Do you have the sound of the run(s) in MP3 format ?
Harry Seldon (I'm French)
I don't see any explosions.
There needs to be a law banning music during motorsports. Obviously people are not responsible enough to figure this out on their own.
Only one big pop that we could really see.
I've seen Funny cars that looked scary to run, I've seen dragsters tear themselves apart as they go down the and thought, that looks like it could be fun...But the fire breathing dragons shown in this video are without a doubt the most butt clinching terrors, I have ever seen run 1320. I fully
