Default ZX-12 kill

went to a local spot last night after gettting a call from a friend, he had previously raced this bike owner with a ZX-12 with his KB cobra and barely lost. the owner stated that said he will never lose to a car, I was like ooookk, lets go, I thouht ok this is gonna be close, but when he told me had had mods and dynoed 182 rwhp I was like uh oh, haha. So I still raced him anyway, 3rd gear roll started at 50, I was spinning my tires and he was pulling a wheelie, lol no pull in 3rd, but 4th gear I pull ahead about a half car and 5th gear I pull ahead about another 1-1.5 cars it looks like, you can see him fall back far enough to get his headlight on video through my back window he was pissed i think, so we had to do this like 3 more times with the same results pretty much. anyone here trapping about 140 kill any bikes on the straight away?

of course this was on a private road course hehe

Sweet kill dude, i drive a Saki 750, and those zx-12's are fast as hell, but any bike guy who says he cant be beat by a car is full of himself, i now TONS of cars that can clean me up off the road. even if i had a 1300r or something crazy big like that i still would know better then it pick a fight with some of these F-bodies floating around.

Once again Nice kill

I see you user name is in the 9 sec. club. I just wonder what mods you have. Great kill. When i was younger I thought bikes were the fastest thing in the world. Years later and plenty of wisdom I now know better.

I was gonna call BS on this story until I saw that you're in the 9sec club!!! Congrats on one helluva kill! When my R1 was stock I ran a KB cobra and I didn't win by much (very little, actually). Then I put exhaust, programmer, and a 40 shot on.....now, I think it would be great fun!!!
Nice kill, way to drive as well!

LOL, gotta love the 6 speed with 700+ rwhp. I also gotta love my 9 second club title hehe. I will post video if it came out decent! the bike was on my drivers side so I don't know how well my 300 pound passenger took the footage, LOL

I thought this thread would catch some attention, I cant wait to pick up a GSXR-1000, I love to ride.
