Default 600 bike vs my T/A

ok im heading home after a long night of street racing ive got the cruise ctrl set at 65mph thats my cruising speed, this is about 1:00 at night so its nice and cool, well 3 bikes come up on me like really fast its a 2 lane highway so they pass me and 1 kinda slows right beside me and hops on it a couple times so i get out of lazy mode and turn the cruise off and i proceed to catch them i come up on them pretty quickly and then pass them, well they start to come back around me and i just punch it at about 80mph as they start to pass me 1 gets right up on my door and he cant pass me were running well over 125mph and i was just looking at this guy on this bike all slumped over and he could not pull on me so i keep it on the floor and i actually pull on him a lil bit and then we hit traffic and he has to slow down and then they give me a thumbs up when they exited at the next exit man i felt so good about my car i can not believe that my car would do that it was awesome...

I had a 600 Ninja and there everything and then some 0-100 but past that they dont have enough power and aerodynamics to pull themselves as quick..Try that with a zx-10 or any litre bike and see if the outcome changes a little bit..

not true, a 13 second car could destroy a harley and run with smaller rice rockets. I've ran a 600 before too when I was stock with stall and gears and put a few cars on him to 100, figured he wasn't trying 100% but he didn't want to go a second time so I took it for what it's worth. I think the fast 600s are made by yamaha but I don't know bikes well; I'd say this bike was low 13s

The only ricerocket a 13 sec car can keep up with is a 500 or 250 (below 130mph or so). All newer 600's run low 11's/high 10's. And yamaha is only one of 4 companies that make very fast bikes. Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Honda are the other 3 big players.

ok well i kinda know my way around bikes very well, my 650 ran a 7.5 in the 1/8 stock, and a 12.10 in the 1/4@109 i think but bikes are very hard to launch on it takes perfect throttle and clutch amount to cntrl front tire action, so ya if you race a sucky driver then ya you will win but i watched a friend run a gsxr 600 at the track and he only got a 8.0 in the 1/8 and i think 12.0s also but he was running i think like 119mph so you gotta be careful who you race on a bike bc if they can drive go ahead and pack you lunch but if he cant good chance you will win.

oh and also right now kawasaki has the fastest 600cc bike with the zx-636 and the zx-10r was the fastest production bike until the gsxr 1000 beat it, but they are all so close that 1 rider error you will lose to the underdog of the group. like the honda, the zx-10 weighs dry at 364 lbs and with 184HP i think 176 to the rear wheel. so dont mess with this bike, and the new zx-14 that just came out ran a 9.14 in the 1/4 pretty much stock = SICK

you had a crotch rocket that managed a 12.10? Did you left off after 2nd gear? I had my bone stock 02 Ninja to a 11.2 @ 122 cutting a 1.9 60 ft..oh fogot to mention..the 636 Ninja isnt in the 600cc class..36 cc's to many(around 9 hp more than a 600 cc). A shitty bike driver could still wax 80% of any cars they came upon..ride a modern crotch rocket dude..you could give a ls1(stock or bolt ons) like a bus length and pass him before the 1\4 mile is even over going 20 mph faster..but a bikes a bike i no longer have one i traded for a 99 m6 =\. If you want to beat a bike do it from a 75 roll or more..then race a stretch of a few miles...

A car is easy to drive, a bike takes serious practice and skill to do it right. Obviously the guy you raced didn't have a clue what he was doing. I've owned several crotch rockets and LS1's. I know what it takes. Thats like putting a 12 year old who has never driven before in you 6 speed LS1. That would fair things up a bit. A good rider would smoke a good driver, 600cc vs LS1. No question. I once outran a head/cam/bolton WS6 by a carlength several times from a low roll in my intake/exhaust FRC C5. That doesn't change the fact that I got lucky that he couldn't drive or something was wrong and it wouldn't likely happen again against someone else.
