For Sale: Dave Vantine's #1 Qualifying Pro Extreme Motorcycle
Looking to get into motorcycle drag racing, but just don’t know where to start? Well, if you have $60,000 burning a hole in your wallet, have we got just the bike for you! For sale is Dave Vantine’s beast of a Pro Mod Suzuki dragster.
“I’ve come to the conclusion that I am now a Top Fuel racer,” said Vantine. “It’s time to give up the Pro Mod. This bike is turn-key, and qualified number one it’s last outing with a 4.07 at 173 mph in the eighth mile. It’s been 6.491 at 202 mph in the quarter. It has the best of everything and I really hate to sell it, but I don’t have the time for both bikes.”
Here’s what you get for the dough:
Timblin Chassis w/carbon fiber body
PMFR fiberglass nose piece
Three complete motors (all fresh) built and serviced by Dan Wagner (DTM)
Performance Machine front rim
PMFR rear rim
Schnitz Racing PS-3 controller
Racepak V300 data acquisition computer
Lectron 48 and 52 carb sets
Several custom manifolds for both sets of carbs
Includes starter cart and several 5lb bottles
ProJack lift available
As far as turn-key, go-fast race packages go, the Vantine Suzuki is a solid bet. Assuming your skills are up to par. Serious inquiries can be directed to dvantine@vantine.com.
