Why is the guy not on his tank? I have only ridden a sportbike like three times and I could have had a closer race. No full tuck and I dont even think I saw the front even come up a little. But nice vette.

Ive got an 06 C6, with just mufflers and a tune, 370 RWHP, and I walked a brand new CBR 600 the other night. We ran from 70-160, and I had about 5 cars on him at 160. Bikes are fast, but they CAN be beat.

What do gsxr600s trap in the 1/4? The only bike I have raced (a chopper) lost badly. That was back in December.

600's High 10's to 11's at around 125 http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mccompare/top600s.html

1000's High 9's to low 10's at around 145ish

Hayabusa's and ZX12/14's will have more top end pull than the smaller bikes.

im not saying that bikes arent fast, dont get me wrong, but the 600's lose there "ability" after around 75. at least in my experiences. my car puts down, well, its inthe sig lol, and i can hang well enough with a 600 from a highway roll. the few ive tried have walked me, the best one was about 2-3 carlengths by 115-120. thats not too bad for a heavy car with two people in it versus a street bike in my opinion.

Try a 750 or 1000 from a 60 Mph roll.


A new 1000 would laugh at a Corvette, at any speed, from 0-200.

Im a fan of both bikes & cars, but a 600 is a kids machine/learner bike.
They are quick though.
