Quickie with a bike tonight I was turning right, and I saw him at the light about to get in behind me. I slowed up a lil, and he got beside me pacing me doing about 40. I opened the cutout and downshifted to let him know I was game. 1st run he gave me the hit, and I pulled a 1/2 car to a car length instantly and it stayed that way till about 90. Second run, I gave him the hit, and I kept him on my right front fender the whole time till 90-100 again. I don't know what kind of bike it was, couldn't have been more than a 600 I am sure. It had dual tailpipes, and looked to be newer. He flipped his visor up and was pumping his fist like he was all excited and gave me a thumbs up. I returned the gesture, closed my cutout and went on my merry way. I was pretty damn surprised to say the least, I knew I could keep up with a 600, but not actually beat one.

yeah, as long as you can run about 11.0's at 125+, you should be able to hang with a new 600.....
If it was a newer 600, then you beat the rider, but a kill none the less.

Yea, I don't think I am even close to an 11.0 @ 125, I would prob trap a good 120 possibly. Never been to the 1/4, trapped 92 in the 1/8 this past summer, so who knows.

There is not a new super sport 600 on the market today with dual exhaust. They all are either under tail, or short side mount.
Was the exhaust a dual low mount setup if you had a chance to see.
If it was a ZX6E then they are more of a sport touring bike, they only make 95 motor hp and run high to mid 12's.

Exactly....
ANY 2004+ 600 sport bike would have raped the car in question (poster) at any speed. My Camaro will beat 95% of the cars on this site and I can beat 600's, and 750's, but not many if any of the 1000+ bikes out there. Hell, a new 636 will run mid to low 10's stock with a good rider at about 130.
People should get excited about bike kills, I know I do! But be realistic, if you car runs 11's, 12's, or slower, your not getting any piece of any newer sport bike unless the rider is just horrible. Better be packing a 10 second car to mess with the sport bike crowd!

See thats where I see both sides of the fence as well. I ahve the Bird in the garage and both a 600cc and 1000cc Ninja. I know there is not many cars that touch my ZX10R. I got to tangle with a Ferrari awhile back, dude had his lady in the car with a smirk on his face. I left him sitting as I think he honestly thought he would win. I raced a 500rwhp cobra with my wife on back. A quick little 120mph run from second and walked him pretty easily as well.
I have rode my buddies ZX6R that is in my garage several times. It is quick and will out run most cars, but it is not unlikely that a car cant outrun a 600cc bike. With the 600's it is more about using the correct gear. if they are off by one gear, say they are in 3rd instead of 2nd it makes a world of difference in the outcome of the race.
I ran a 2002 ZX6E two years ago from a 40mph dig, him in first me in second. Lets just say he was surprised by the outcome as by the time I was in third I had three cars on him.
I like reading about the car/bike races but a mojorit of the time the car people dont know what they are racing, just because it has full fairing they think it is a current supersport bike and that is not always the case. A SV650S looks like a sport bike, but it is a 650 twin that makes a whopping 80ish hp and is slow as a dog.
Nice run, one of these days I am going to get some run with a camera and just see how well/bad a 600cc and 1000cc bike do against a stout car. My friend has a 500+ rwhp cobra that I ride with, I am sure he would be happy to play along with this as well.

Yea, like I said, not really sure what it was, and it def. wasn't more than a 600. The tailpipes were up higher, and on each side of the rear of the bike. Something like this
o-I-o. Thats about all I can really tell you. Sorry, not really a bike guy.
