SS > Katana


Edit: - happened in canada or mexico - cant remember.

first real race in the car since I put the 6-speed back in it. a couple bikes came charging through traffic to end up beside me at a red light, the guy kept revving his junk and i waited til right before we launched to give him a rev back and as soon as the lights hit he took off, (couldnt ride for shit) i had to ease into it because my tires are bald - i finally get hooked up and lay into it, nail 2nd and we're off, he's tucked under like he's a pro bike racer or some shit, and i get right beside him and when i hit 3rd i start pulling him and up to 100 or so i'm pullin on him hard and he's in my rear view!! i dunno what size bike it was could just tell by the body on it that it was a katana - probably a 600 or smaller. I was pumped. After the first run, he gets up beside me on a 45 or so roll and revs it and dumps so i do the same and pull him til he's at my rear fender then i slow down and hold up my "For Sale" sign to him and I see him start laughing - maybe i'll sale it now

Nice kill.

lol at the Kanatuna...those things are slow as shit, they trap 107-109 in the 1/4.

Irunelevens 03-10-2009 09:40 AM

They have 600cc and 750cc Katanas. From the outcome, I'd say it was probably a 600. Good kill. Those are some big heavy bikes... think of it as a Hayabusa with half the engine :jest:

Yeah it isn't the GSX-R, it is just a regular street bike that most regular riders can start on. I have a 07 Kawi 600 not the ninja and it only traps 121 but that was my first time out so it probably has 122-123 in it.

Katanas are fat and slow bikes.

Now I know where all the "so I killed a 600 today" stories come from.

Looking at their times...first half of the track isn't "too" bad...but seems like they fall on their face past that.

IMgettingLS1 03-10-2009 09:09 PM

anyone know what a 03 500 ninja runs? i out ran one in my firebird before i even had my cam in

Irunelevens 03-10-2009 09:52 PM

Ninja 500s are pretty slow... 13s bikes I think.

dochall22 03-10-2009 11:31 PM

i knew kanatunas were poop but didnt realize by out running on in a car it was looked down upon. I thought it was cool myself, my first time out running a bike in a car.

badazz99ta 03-10-2009 11:42 PM

bottom line bro, you beat a bike. thats good in my book, unless its a huffy...they're quick, but not that quick.

dochall22 03-10-2009 11:44 PM

yeah - well i guess i forgot to mentiion his bike had NAWS and a couple or 3 turbos!

Lol then people would be asking for what mods you have, even a gixxer 600 is very fast.
