Default Street Bike Kills

I am just wondering how many guys on this board have beaten some bike. My list of crotch rocket kills is:
Suzuki TL1000s w/full exhaust (beat him by about 2 feet @150)had 3 people in my car
GSXR 750, two different ones. Both with exhaust. Pretty even run but i had them both by about 3 or 4 feet at 140 or so. good runs though.
Multiple Honda and Suzuki 600's

I like to run bikes b/c they are fast and they will always run you.

CBR-900RR from about a 20 roll----about 2 bikes or so
GSXR-600R from about a 50 roll----about 8 cars or so
ZX6-R from a dig----he let out after he realized it was over at 100
YZF-R6 from about a 40 roll----I let him get out and then hit tha juice for tha fly-by
YZF-R1 w/ mods from my 3rd gear----after he set the front wheel down he had about 3 on me
GSXR-1000R even uglier, but not as bad as expected.

Have run a couple Buells, but was a waste of time. Harley's from a dig and I am still ****** deaf!

Here are a couple pics of the guy on the 1000R showing off...

LT4, How much does your car weigh? You must be light as hell to beat those bikes with 419 at the wheels. What does it run in the 1/4? Trap speed wise.

I have seen a few just decent riders get a 750 GSX-R into the 130 mph zone. I dont know maybe he tips the scales at 3100? I dont know, maybe I'm wrong.

I have lost a few pounds. I weight in at 3200, give or take a few pounds. I drove through a truck stop back home to weigh it, I subtracted me of course. I wieght about 160. But bike run out of steam after about 130, if you stay in it and have abotu 425+ at the wheels then you can usually wheel them. They always get out a little ahead of me but i stay in it and pull them in. When i say ahead i mean they put their back wheel on my front bumper. I dont' have picts with the new wheels but i got one with my black 10 spokes and i have one of my engine on a stand. That picture is before i got my boom tubes, the pipe are coming off spintechs, and on the stand...that was on thursday, the oil cooler was not one yet but the new cam was in and ready to go

I haven't run it in the quarter yet. I tried at darlington but after i spun through first, second, and third i just let out of it(i was on street tires and KD's are not good for drag racing. I am ordering some CCW's with Hoosier drags on them, skinnies in front and 28x11.5 in rear.

Yup,
Rider skill makes all the difference. The 02 GSXR750 is capable of 10.30 at 135 with the right rider. The GSXR1000 is really quick, 145+ mph trap speed potential stock. I have a 03 GSXR600, and I'd be lucky to run 12.0 with it at my skill level, even though it is capable of much better times.

I've never had the pleasure of running a bike in my Cobra. I did get *** whooped by my buddy and his 900RR when I was in my '00 Z28. That was pre-nitrous though. It was a '94 RR with some mods so it might've been a good race with a 150shot.

Titty- My buddy and I were on a local highway coming back from the track. That was the first and only time he ran his RR. He babies the **** out of it off the line then cranked out an 11.19 @ 130mph if memory serves. It had some nut sack no doubt about it. He probably would've handed me my ***. As you know, street racing is all about the driver though and it's difficult to screw up in an A4 on a 150shot.
