Default Z06 Vs Gixxer 1000

Some incredible runs went down earlier this year. Hope everyone enjoys watching lightning fast motorized vehicles going at it

He weighs that much? I thought he was more along the lines of 95 lbs... lol

Sick *** runs though, Vette as we all know is dirty and that Gixxer is no joke with the rider mod.

It almost looked like the bike rider was letting off when he started noticing the vette catching him.

Great runs.

He's running out of gear at that point I'd imagine.

What the hell kind of gearing is he working with to be running out of gear that soon? I'm not sure what my zx10 will top out at, but I know it still had some gear left after I hit the factory limiter at 189.

The rider's weight is all he had going for him. He is a squid and he looks like a retard shifting. Seriously, 160+ in a t-shirt? Also, he was practically sitting on his gas tank.

Either way, nice kill. I'm not bashing the vette at all. I'm sure it could hang with lots of liter bikes. I just think this particular squid made a poor showing.

Don't know what gearing he has but he runs out of it fast apparently... He's a short one too, he's like 5' 1" maybe that's why he's up on the tank? No clue, I don't ride bikes.

Correct. You need to come out one of these times and run with the big boys, it's only like an hour drive!

I would if I still lived in San Antonio. If and when I move back i'll be making trips up that way to flash some orange.

You'd fit right in with all the Vette guys, hell one guy here has a Z06 and a ZR1 for himself, while the wife drives a Grand Sport!

He's definitely doing right in life. Looking to build a motor at some point and turn the wick up.

Damn good runs Ty!

Although I figured that 1000, geared that low and that light of a rider would have pulled you from the hit for sure....

Ole scrappy still running hard!

thats exactly what his speedo reads 189 on the limiter,but its off,my gps read mid 160's im not a bike guy,i imagine from the stretch and the 3teeth down on the sprockets i believe,he's beaten his brothers zx10 with nitrous, and several other litre bikes,i dont lose to many bikes ever,the chase bike was another gsxr1000 and he was bus lengths behind but heavy rider also

That bike must be nasty in the 1/4 if he can hook and keep the front end down. Looks like that gearing is a bit rough for a high speed roll.

-3 front on that bike killed it...yeah hes light but that only does so much for u when ur banging gears without giving the bike a chance to accelerate like it would stock.

stock gearing will put that 1000 in first gear at the start of the race and deff get a few lengths off the hit.
