I met up with old friends for a bachelor party. One of my friends just bought a '05 cbr600rr. I told him I could probably hang with him from a 50-60 mph roll?

Is this a fair statement. I probably have about 440-460rwhp and weigh about 2950. I really have no idea how fast bikes are.

What’s the difference if he beats you or not. He has a bike, you have a car. Bikes are supposed to beat cars. Race him & find out. You really don’t have anything to lose.

I’m not worried about it just curious… we were both unsure how it would turn out; if i had my car with me this weekend we would have went.

He lives in a different state not like we can just go race, maybe sometime this summer if we meet up again.

Worse case run him over and win? Remember, if the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit.

ive owned a few bikes, on my 600 ive been beat by a stock zo6 from a roll. keep in mind im 6’3" 215lb but it wasnt close enough to matter.

1000cc is a different story, but 600s get touched all the time. fuck bench racing… just run him

you have ridden street bikes before, I am sure you know there is more to it than that.

a good rider on a 600 should take the car. IMO
