That big wheelie was just for the video, because it's wasted motion on a drag strip. That's power that's not driving the bike forward.
When I still had a sportbike, took it the drag strip a couple of times for fun. This would have been like 2005. The best launch means MURDERING the clutch as you just have the front wheel skimming the ground.
My best was an 11.19 @ 121 mph on a tuned 2004 R6. I think it put a whopping 108 hp to the rear wheel.
