I was cruising to work the other day and it was a rare warm spring day in chicago. I have been dieing to race anything that would give a go (especially something worthy). I see a yellow F4i ahead at a stop light sitting next to a semi. I got behind the semi which i though was turning and figured i would be able to run him off the light. Unfortuneatly the jackass in the truck just left his turn signal on and the light already turned green. I darted in the other lane to see the bike already cruising so I nailed it to catch up to him. I was sitting in third gear as i cought up with him in prime power band doing about 65 or so. I looked over and jumped on it a little bit to see if he was game and he took off. He instantly jumped from my door to the front of the hood by the time i hit it. As soon as he started to pass my car completely i started to real him in nicely. I passed him and put about three cars on him by 100 when i shut it down. I had a smile ear to ear all day after that one which ended up being a all around great. It was the day before my birthday and was a good way to start things off. Now for all you people that think beating bikes is impossible I'll have you know I own a GSXR myself and know what they are capable of. I think it mihgt of been a different story if he downshifted another gear or two. I know he dropped one for sure but he still might not have been in his power band at first. Oh well I had the bottle open and my finger on the trigger just in case he started to pull on me. Its nice to know I didn't even have to use it. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Great kill. I also have an F body along side a bike in the garage. at times i have a hard time deciding which 1 to take out. 2000 SS or 96 ZX6R.
Congrats on the KILL. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

last week a friend on a friend took the new ninja 636 to the track and cranked off a 10.21 @ 132

600's are nothing to assume will go quietly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

600s usually run high 10s to low 11s depending on rider ability. They are hard to launch because they are so light and have a short wheelbase, and in addition to that they don't generate much low end torque. So you either bog or wheelie. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Finding that happy medium without burning up your clutch is fun. I just sold my 2001 R6, but will keep my R1. The R1 will break the back tire loose from a roll. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> It has way more low end torque and should be capable of 10.3s or less.
