So my friend has been buggin me ever since I started my project to race his bike. Its an 03 Honda 600RR, different sproket & headers. I was actually responsible for him buying this particular bike because my setup last year beat his old bike! So he went ahead and got this ‘new’ one that would “kick my ass”.

So we got up on road xxx, of course I had zero traction but he was cool about it, we started from about 45, he got the jump on me at first, pulled the front wheel a bit and took off. I had to be patient and let my run flats catch as much traction as they could muster. Before I was out of 3rd gear I had caught up. I shifted to 4th and put a few lengths on him:hay:, by the time I reached 5th the match was well over ~120.  
We tried this 3 times. He couldn’t believe it! Now he says that he’s going to sell the damn thing.:lol::lol: He wants to run again from a slower speed, but I’ll be sure to have tires by then. I’ll also be sure to get a video of that one!

Needless to say I won a large cheese and pepporni outta that deal. :tup:

Goddam. I understand that your car is insanely fast, but faster than a 350lb sportbike? Well… shit… congratulations!

You don’t need a turbo busa nowadays.

The new crotch rocket liter bikes are all in the high 9’s from the factory.

Theoretically, if you power commandered, full exhaust, sproket and a few other things you could be in the 8’s on a real good hard launch.

I don’t think there are many, if any, cars around here that can touch a bike in the low 9’s high 8’s…

Hell, even the new Yamaha R6 ran a high 9 with only dogbones and a strapped front end…
