I think it hilarious when guys think that their cars can beat a bike, I have two friends with hyabusa's and dudes with vettes, camaros, mustangs, etc. will try to pace them and race them all the time, then they go WOT and smoke them. If they are asking for it then they deserved to get smoked.
How did the Z06 instigate the race? The guy with the bike said he revved at him first. Wouldn't that be instigating the race? And why was he stupid to want to race a bike? I know plenty of cars by me that can beat bikes from a stop or a roll. You don't know what was done to this Z06. I love how some people think bikes are automatically faster than cars.

Most people on bikes have this HUGE ego thinking that they r superior to everyone else. But whenever our cars do beat them, and alot of them can, the bikes start being bitches. he's an ******* in life, probably sits on his mothers couch watching soap opera's all day. **** him

bottom line. bikes usually > cars. nothing new. get over yourself ninja, and then go get a real bike, not that **** you got now

You bitch about people making personal attacks yet no more than a few posts in, you decide to call everyone 'liberals'. I guess it takes quite an intelect to be able to tell someone's political tastes by posts in a racing forum-either that or someone who eats paint chips.


Here is a question for everyone...which surface has had more ***** bounced off of it..the basketball court at Madison Square Garden, or ninja 900's chin?


I think its the latter.

Whoops I stand corrected on the instigation part, just re-read the original post. I think he is stupid for wanting to race the bike because unless the guy has his bike de-badged then 900cc means thats its too fast for even a pretty heavily modded Z06, unless he knew he was gonna get walked and just wanted to see the bike take off, which is fine. A 900cc bike should be good for low 11's high 10's, especially since this guy is modded. Just because you know some guys near you that can take bikes doesnt mean that 99% of the time sports bike is gonna be faster than a car. Take the most basical sports bike, say a 600cc bike, I will bet on that bike beating just about anything it meets at a street light from a dig-100mph. Sure you MIGHT run into a car thats faster than a bike, but give me a break how many people really have a car thats that heavily modded? Not many. Are you saying you think that its actually a debate that most sports bikes (this does not include harleys or other big slow cruisers) are not faster than most cars? We arent talking about a moped, were talking about a 900cc bike with nitrous..........

I hear what you are saying and yes that usually is the case. Most of the time the bike is going to be faster. But in all seriousness, it seems like more often than not around me, the cars you come upon on the street are all heavily modded. And I know of a few Z06's around me right now that are easy low 11 high 10 cars, so it's not that uncommon to say that a bike like that could've pulled up to say a heads/cam and spray Z06 and had it's hands full. I'm just saying this so you don't think it is necessarily stupid for the guy to have wanted to run the bike or maybe even thought he could beat it. So I wouldn't say 99% of the time. I usually try not to compare the two anyway. I could care less if a bike wants to race a car, because I agree, a lot of the times it's not really going to be a fair race. Besides, I'd much rather see two cars go at it.

Haha see that my problem, in my area I rarely come across anything that is heavily modded or even close to a 10 or 11 second car. There are some guys in the Northeast forum from massachusetts that are in that category for sure but you dont see them on the street that often and other than that its mostly ricers in my area. Yea im not saying its impossible for a car to beat a bike, its quite viable with a heads/cam/spray Z06, I just havent seen many cars in my area that could hang with or pull on most bikes, thats all and yea id def rather see two cars go at it as well.

Bikes are fun. I particulary like hitting them at around 90mph.

How to beat a bike with any car.

Saw this one back home about 14 years ago. CBR600 F2 (that was all the rage back then) buzzing around town like he owned the damn streets. The rider was a Senior in Highschool and year older than me. Town was full of every type of country hick and redneck good ol' boy you can imagine. This guy would buzz everyone. Even the mudders and off roaders. Total trash talking, wheelie popping, danger to others, idiot.

Yeah, his bike would outrun all the local rides with the exception of a handful of heavy modded cars owned by people that had better things to do (re: too old and too many responsibilities) than cruise town on a Saturday night.

Local 5.0 cowboy with a penchant for racing got tired of everyone talking about how fast this moron was. Catches CBR at the parking lot and sets up a run with about 50 people standing around watching. He kept quiet about the time and place of the meet but the CBR was running his mouth, confident in taking down this minor-local legend.

5.0 was out of highschool by 4 years, had a fast car, fast girl, and his own place (single wide with a shop out back....yehaa). '89 LX hatch with the anniversary stripes. 10 hole wheels, full exhaust, gears, intake, cam, rockers, etc... Judging by what I saw him do, at times, this was a low-mid 13 sec car on street tires. The fantasy of many highschool boys. This was a cool ride.

Three or four of us knew where 5.0 liked to race. We were determined to see this. But why challenge this idiot on a bike? Just to do it and lose? Then he really would be buzzing people around town. Did he have nitrous or a blower? Rumors had been running around about a built stroker motor and nitrous but we hadn't seen him absent for a significant amount of time and the car still sounded like Flowmasters.

We wait for him to leave and then move to a different lot where we can make sure we see him pass on the way out into the country. There was no need. CBR comes by on his back tire leading a parade of onlookers. Honda Preludes, big block Ford trucks, lifted chevys, lowered nissans, escort wagons....pretty much every car that a parent would buy or help their teenage child get. Most of my high school parking lot and our county rivals cruisers that happened to be in town that night.

A lot of cars on a small, dark, country road. We follow to exactly where we thought they would be headding. Everyone is on the side of the road, radios blarring headlights on, CBs howling, begging for Highway Patrol to bust us. We roll past the starting line (CBR had finally stopped cutting up and stopped near this gravel road) and pulled as far off as possible by ourselves, with a clear view of the start. They would pass us at 50 yds into the run. Giving us the best possible view of the 5.0's death before even reaching us. Stretch of road was dark and about 3/4 of a mile with only mild dips and hills.

5.0 shows up about 10 minutes after we arrived. He rolls through the crowd of people, moves to the left lane and pulls next to CBR. We see his head lean toward the middle of his car as he yells something out the passenger window. CBR starts up and revs. Then nods. Revs some more. 5.0 turns off his head lights but leaves his markers on. 5.0 brings his revs up. We watch, in ancticipation of our heroes imminant doom. 5.0 launches hard on his street tires. The slightly loose pavement is kicking up on the folks behind him and the bike. The bike reacts slowly so as not to wheelie. CBR is at the rear 1/4 panel and moving quickly forward. We watch as 5.0, appearing to drift due to his rear traction problems, eases over into the right lane forcing CBR closer to the ditch. CBR lets out and touches off the side of the car before sliding to a near stop in the ditch and then falling over.

CBR rider was okay, but a hell of a lot quieter after that. His bike had some nice scratches and mud. He had to ride it by everyone on his way home. 5.0 was never viewed the same. Ruthless but respected. We didn't want to hang out with him any more though. The touch off of the bike and car was good for a couple of hundred dollars damage. Lesson many people learned that night. 5.0 is a dirty racer and cheater. Lesson I learned, some people will do anything to win. Buying a bike to race cars and feel like a big shot, damaging your own car to humiliate someone, stripping our car down to reduce weight and dropping in a race engine, anythin. Don't put yourself at a disadvantage unless you're willing to accept the consequences.

Steer hard, don't let off until the bike disappers, and lower your insurance deductible.

Not all bike riders can race a bike to its potential,so I take on bikes that I know should beat me sometimes.I think I have less to lose than the guy on the bike.If he beats me than oh well I lost to a fast bike I don't look that bad.But if I win than I look really good and the bike rider looks really bad.I don't go picking on bikes because I know must will beat me ,but if one revs at me I'll definantly test his riding skills and take my chances.I have a minor bolt on car with nitrous that I daily drive on et streets that run's 11's.So I would think if that zo6 would of had a good shot of nitrous and tire it would give a stock 900 a good run.I would of raced him too if he would of revved at me too, if I new it was moddified and had nitrous I still might of ran it just to see how fast it was ,but how would I of known that it was moddified or the zo6 of known?Same thing with cars you never know what they might have so you take your chances thats what makes racing fun,not knowing if your going to win or lose.If I get smoke oh well atleast I got to see a fast car or bike race.I lost to a fixed up pinto that looked like I would smoke him,but I still had fun,and was like man that thing is bad,it was cool just to see him go.Thats the way I see things when I race.Acourse it depends on the driver of both vehicles and I know most of the time I'll lose,but its worth it to me for the couple times that I win.My buddy is a newbie bike rider with a r1 and I give him some pretty close runs.I'm sure if he gets better at driving it he should beat me by a decent amount.So thats why I take my chances with some bikes,not because I think I'm a badass or my car is gods gift to man kind.Sorry so long,just wanted to point out just because you lose don't make you a dumbass for trying.If you talk alot of **** and you think your car is the **** when its actually slow than your a dumbass.

Personally I would not call that being killed.

As far as the bike comment goes, I race plenty of bikes. I know a lot of the people who ride in the area and many of them are well aware of what I have so they do not race. Sometimes just for ***** and giggles, but nothing serious. Every now and again I meet someone new and smoke them, but not very often. I am friends with most everyone who rides and we just do not race much. At the track I race a lot of them, but nothing any good.
I really dont think you would have a chance with this guys busa with a 100 shot running low 5s in the 1/8. and i was trying to make a point you have a bike 2 wheels vs 4 wheels you tool . I think if you want to post a kill go to another site . what did you think people in a ls1 site are gonna say good kill lol.
