Whats your RWHP. I can stay next to various 600's from a 90 roll and walk slowly away from the 100 mark. Great run.. I get walked on anywhere under 80mph by 600's, not bad, just a car or so from 50-80 and then I stay righ there until after the 90ish and I real them in...


Good kill, glad to hear it.

Brandon its too bad I still don't have mine. I'd have to show you what a properly driven R6 would do to you, lol. So when are we gonna line up the cars? It should be very close

I'm going to Corpus for rescue training next week so you'll have to call me to make arrangements when you're off. I'm going to get a tune sometime when I get back. I'm should be over 400rwhp and mid 500s in torque. I'd imagine our numbers should be close with me having much more torque. However, you'll have quite the weight advantage. It should be pretty interesting. I also have a friend with an 03 that thinks no Vette can touch him, much less anything else, lol. His car is sick but he also only has one arm If you're interested, I'll give him a call.

No you don't Jon. You want an R1 or a 'busa. R6's are a nice starter bike, but you'd get sick of it.

Nice bike kill!

They are a great starter bike, i've already got 650 miles on mine and i've only had it for a month. I already want more power.

Yes, but I'd rather wreck on 4 wheels than 2!

I have beat 4 late moded 600's from roll and dig...and I run faster than 11.8 at 115....I recently raced a NEW R6, just broken in, with a good rider. He used the clutch, and I got beat by about 7 cars from a dig, and he got me pretty easily from a roll. He didn't shift at redline, but a couple hundred rpm past, slips the clutch, gets the rpm's up on the roll and the dig...

The other rider I raced were not so great, and when a 600 goes from idle on a dig, I win, but when driven hard, I loose. It will take a 150 shot for me to get this little bike!!!!! Remember, the NEW 600's are only about three-four tenths slower than the big bikes (same day, same track, same rider, same magaine, etc.)...only put so much power down on a small tire and shot wheel base. A bigb bike is much more powerful, but almost useless when racing on the street with out great traction!!!

You will be absilutely SHOCKED when you race a new R6 with a skinny good rider, I know I was.
