Did a lot of runs. I won all the 50 rolls because the Aprilia couldn't keep the front end down.

On the 60 rolls the aprilia started in second (me in 1st) and he would slowly creep out on me, maybe 2-3 bike lengths.

On the 70 rolls he's in a better spot and i'm in a worse spot, so right off the hit he put 2 bikes on me and would continue pulling from there, maybe 4 bikes total.

This is all 3 of us from a 35ish roll:

Holy Jesus, was that you putting blue-whale lengths on him on the first run?

Nice runs...kind of weird to see someone go -2 rear on a 750 though? Gearing to keep the front down?

Damn, I didn't even catch that! What's up with that?

As for the race, I was so stoked to see you working that 1000cc V4 Aprilia over! Those things always did run slow for a liter bike, even with there decent hp numbers they just don't rev as fast as a inline 4. Hell, used to walk them with my TL1000R though that's not entirely fair as it was a heads/cams tiller.

First run was me and the '11 750 from a dig. Run was a good deal longer than a 1/4 but that's ok.

When the DA is really good (spring and fall 35-45 degree air) it's completely impossible to hold the nose down with stock gearing. It's very beneficial to keep the taller gearing for 60-65 rolls against high power cars and other bikes. Being in 1st gear on the hit helps huge.

It's a bit slower from a dig, but not much. Most people won't race from a dig anyway so it doesn't matter much. I can just use more RPM to make up the difference. Hard on the clutch, but clutches are cheap.

It's a sweet bike, sounds awesome and has great torque. Magazine trap is 143mph, so middle ground for liter bikes. I would expect a bit more from this one with a magazine jockey since his mods should be very effective.

The wheels on that bike are worth more than my bike.

Good runs, it's evident that you are the best rider of the bunch.

I've always been impressed at how well the Gixxer 750s run.

Nice runs, great daytime vid also,

Bike races...the one time a Go-Pro isn't terrible.

Good runs!

^ Thanks

I didn't think the race was going to happen. Didn't bother charging it!

Nice runs. I love those RSV4's even if they're not the fastest liter bike out there. At that point, most riders aren't making real use of that extra power anyways.

I also typically laugh when I see liter bike owners putting shorter gearing on their bikes. 95% of the riders I've ever met or seen would go a LOT quicker if they put longer gearing on their bike to make it more manageable. It's rare to find someone who can reall control a liter bike in first gear with the stock sprockets, never mind shorter ones.

The R model Aprilia might run 143mph, the normal "Factory" models run mid 130's. They haven't changed at all since they came out back in '07? '08? and even when they were new the jap liter bikes walked them pretty good. I've been around quite a lot of them, and Ducati's for that matter. FYI: a Ducati 1098S walks a RS4 pretty decent. Bet a 1198S just embarasses them.

BTW you can get badass lightweight Marchesini rims for $2100 for your bike. "just do it!"
