Just ran up on a R6

Just ran up on a R6 Well coming out of my neighborhood in the 5.0 going to KFC with dad to eat, we pull out on the empty 6 lane highway and behind I can see a bike. Don't think much of it and was wondering if it was one of my friend's on their bikes. He gets near my rear and I guess he read my tag because he geared down and flew past me and hit the brakes about a carlength ahead to get back along side me. He rides beside me for a minute and I hear him downshift and he jerked on his handlebars trying to get it to do a wheelie at around 50mph, but no dice. It wouldn't do it. So there is a redlight ahead I was REALLY hoping would change because I would murder him from a dig with the new suspension and gears. 
But it turned green before we got to it. 
My dad said "Buddy that bike better have more than that if you want some" so I just smiled and geared down to 5th and ran along side the guy, then down to 4th, and rode next to him for a minute. We stayed side by side and I downshifted into 3rd and punched it and instantly started walking on him. He was trying but little bike didn't have enough. I ran out 4th gear some and the kid had let off a long time before. But he would never come back along side me. 
I did some looking and it looks like I ran into a 2002 R6. Anyone know what these things run in the 1/4th? Couldn't be anything great by what I saw.

If I remeber correctly your 1/4 time from your sig said you trapped about 108mph? in the high 12's?
I dont think the guy on the bike was trying, or he didnt drop enough gears and hit it in 5th.
It take some serious power to beat a bike, especialy from a roll.

Being a NEWBIE I could see where you would make this mistake.. No worries though.. By serious power, how much are we talking here? Because I really don't think I am making serious power and I out ran a CBR600rr 5 out of 5 times and this was from a roll!!

One of my buddies has a '04 R6 (decent rider) with slip on exhaust and a power comander i think he said he ran around an 11.4ish in the 1/4
Another friend of mine has a new zx6r, completly stock ran a 7.28 in the 1/8th, he just bought an exhaust and a power comander, now i just have to get him to come back out to the track with me and see what he can get..

am i the only one that calls bs here? bikes are made for highspeed racing not drag racing. The OP has suspension and gearing for the 1/4, yea he should launch harder from a dig but once a bike is going those things move out and keep going. my dad was messing around with a buddy in his z06 and my friend on his 07 fz6 (small step down from r6) and they went from a 40 roll and my friend still pulled out about a car and a half or 2 cars. Yes you mustang might be faster in the quarter than a z06 but ill bet you that once you get past the quarter a z06 walks you. something just doesnt add up here...
