I'll clear it up for you. A bike is supposed to be the ultimate racing machine. It weighs less than some people I know. It was built for one reason only, to race. When one of them gets beat by a car that was built for 50 different reasons, and race being pretty low on the priority list, the bike guys tend to get offended. It's hilarious to see them react to a video like this, thats why I went hunting for bikes Sunday. Bike guys need an excuse to explain why the bike lost, so basically the best they can come up with is "the guy couldn't ride". I guess there is no such thing as a good rider since they use that excuse every time.

Well, he can't ride... lol but as I said, I don't think it'd be too different even if he was a more skilled rider and actually laid down and got into it.

The fact still stands though that it is a kill and it is on video... :ThumbUpyGuy:

I beat a 750 gsxr a while back that looked just like that one you raced,, he was shocked, said he had never been beaten by a car before, he tucked and everything too . Of course then his boy on the 1000 had to prove a point and kick my *** . Beating bikes is not easy but possible.

posts in non-tech forums don't add to post count. Street racing aint too technical.

That guy was scared to death of that bike. It didn't even look like you guys were racing. He was sitting up on the back and not laying down

And you earned respect for power (as I did too), thru time managed to be skilled enough to graduate to another level (hypothetically ) ....most of these guys buy the biggest cc'd bikes they can afford (Insurance optional )
go out and get spanked by cars, act stupid, get hurt or even killed. I know a person for each mentioned!

In the Kill section its not Bike against car...its driver against driver. This is where it all went south

your damn right ammscl,man,its the same scenario overseas,believe me.many trolls especially on r1s.a firned wanted to buy a literbike as first bike dead serious.i talked to him long and often,and now he decided to buy a 600gsxr.not exactly the best beginnerbike,but its ok.
that 2 years 250ccs then 2years 600ccs is also a shitty rule.
i think if someone is halfways sane after half year he can move on to the literbikes no problem.
fuuny idiots with firsttime bike 1000cc or more.i see them dayly in almost-incidents.
