Question 98 SS v. 500 Ninga

Just wondering. Do you think that a 1998 SS would match up w/ a 500 Ninga. Buddy of mines is talkin **** and I wanna get some opinons before I put $$$ on it.

13.507 @ 107 for the SS
Dont know about the bike

Should be a good match up if the bike guy has some experience. It can be pretty hard to launch a bike well. If I remember right, EX 500s run in the high 12s/low 13s {with a good rider}. If he boggs on the start, spins or wheelies,,, you should have him covered.

Heck, if you get beat drag racing,,,, spank that rear in the twisties!

I'd say you probably could pull him on top end...but then again that all depends on how long you're racing

Sport Rider Magazine Stats on the EX500
Best 1/4-mile acceleration: 12.98 sec., 99.0 mph
Measured top speed: 118 mph
You'll have him up top, easily.

Just be sure its a Ninja EX500, cause if he's playin you and its a 600, it'll smack you...
I'll upload a vid later, my then-stock 600RR v BLKWS6 (I'm down for a rematch)

sounds good to me. I dont want to run him on the track b/c I know he'll get a better time... but a slower trap speed.

They don't allow bikes to run against cars at the track... Besides, timeslip racing is no fun.
Just go head 2 head somewhere

I had an EX500 for 2 years. Actually just sold it on Saturday. You should kill it. Like was said above if it's a 600 definitely walk away but the 500 is a 2 banger and you should kill it.

Quick little video at night. I'm on the left, BLKWS6 on the right...
Shows us taking off from behind, and then a side view (courtesy of Fade2Blk500 & Distortion_69) of us both going by.

That it?
Ha... didn't know it made its way to Kazaa

Would've had footage from inside BLKWS6's car but Johns96SS filmed over the footage!
