UFO Performance Products is a fabricating and service
facility of street and racing motorcycles along with the research
and development of their related performance products. Our focus
is mainly directed toward engine building and tuning of drag racing
motorcycles and in particular the Yamaha Vmax. We have created
bikes such as our Yamaha Vmax, pictured on the left, which has
been dynoed at an amazing 140+ horse power at the rear wheel!
No other "stock internal" Vmax can make that claim!
Jon Cornell, founder of the company is a thermo
mechanical engineer of Cleveland State University who started
winning at dirt track racing as far back as 1971. In 1980, he
was awarded his professional motorcycle drag racing license, which
established the foundation for setting the world record on a supercharged/alcohol
funny bike in the quarter and 1/8 mile which stood from 1981 to
1983.
Most recently, in 2001 Jon won the AMA Prostar
Hot Rod Cruiser Class on a Harley Davidson Dyna Glide.
