Default I ran a gixxer 750 today, [vid]

I took a cruise down towards highway 11 looking for some bikes to play with. I found this gixxer 750 at a gas station, he said he would be willing to give me a run. He was quite surprised after the run.

question? Why didn't the rider look like he was "racing"...at all? Hell, I tuck at lower speeds than I am sure you all were running. Not calling BS...just something I noticed. Instantly.

Yeah I agree. I'm not sure why he wasn't tucking. He was trying though, but who knows. The way I look at is he never got ahead of me so I guess I won.

That would be correct, a kill is a kill.

Looks like he was trying to be cool and beat you on one wheel at first, then he realized that you weren't just some average Joe.

Good call. Then he just gave up (no tuck). Make sense.

You looked so calm, like, "Yeah, whatever." Kinda like you were out for a Sunday stroll.

Nice kill.

In motogp racing they usually say its 80% rider 20% the bike. You beat the crap out of that 80%! Nice job man!

damn you guys are really...hmm dunno what word to use, lol, "doubting". I'd say he was trying, I don't see how you can pull the wheel twice without throwing in some effort. And why is a supercharged vette beating a 750 so hard to believe?

Dosn't take much to lift the front wheel from a 40mph roll, not bashing but anyone who doesn't tuck during a race on a bike is a 'tard. I think his bike should be repo-ed and given to me Awesome corvette though, my v-6 turd would have about as much of a chance as a tricycle.

I would find him and run him again. Your car is definatley fast but I don't think he was expecting that. Race him again and see how it turns out.

I don't get it. If those bikes are supposed to be so fast like you say, why didn't he pass me? There was a point where he started creeping back, but once I hit 4th gear, that creep stopped. I knew this would hurt the feelings of some people.

yes you 2 ran, no doubt about that, but he didnt have a clue how to keep the bike on the ground, allowing him to give it more throttle, allowing him to go faster, also keeping aerodynamics, yes you did great against him, and i dont doubt your cars potential is close to the bikes, but he SUCKED at riding

lol, if those bikes are suppose to be fast? a yzf-r6 ran 9.93 with Ricky Gadson riding... and the GSX-R600 was close to that, but the 750 is even faster, so I dont wanna hear you say "they're supposed to be fast", its all in the rider...and that rider sucked ***.
