GSXR 1k vs 01 408 WS6
I was coming home from work, turning onto F Hwy by KK pass. I see this sweet look yellow bike with exhaust and extended bar for the rear tire sitting at the light as I turn I give it a little gas to see if he'd want to play. Well get get down the road some no traffic in front of us he is crusing beside me and he downshifs 2 gears so I down it to 3rd around 50 mph and we both take off he is beside me for a second then I just end up leaving him about 2 cars behind when I got out of it.. Now the thing is I had the T-tops out and a passenger with me.. Damn I love those MTs!!! I tried to see if he wanted to go again but he gasses it and weaved in and out of traffic. So I think its say to say he got Sweet bike though by all means. I was very thrilled, impressed, etc and wishing I could have been able to record it..

Nope it was a newer bike. It was done and beaten so And not to mention I am over 500rwhp and 500rwtq. If I had the video I would post it in a heart beat. I will be racing one soon again

Also I tried to get him to play again thinking he had a bad run or something but he started weaving in and out of traffic and ran away. I would have given him another chance or 2. So anyways.

It SURE as hell wasn't a newer 1000!!!!
Even if he sucked riding at 50mph in any gear a new 1000 would leave you in the dust. I own one (k6). You could put a 300 shot on your car and you still wouldn't be close to what a new Gixxer 1k can do (especially from a 50mph roll with the bike stretched). Mine is just lowered and at 50mph I can keep it down and the bike feels like it wants to rip your arms from your shoulders. Maybe you ran into a carbed one.

I've ran several bikes and just don't see you having a chance with a liter bike. Generally around 500rwhp will take a 600 but no chance with liter bikes. When liter bikes try to get me to play I don't even waste my gas as I've had them leave me like I was standing still too many times. I think there is a member here that has run his buddies 04 R1 and with around 700rwhp it is a very close race.
