Nice kill! Trap speed doesnt tell the whole story in a bike vs car race either...The bike gets most of its trap speed in the first 1/8th and a car that isnt set up for the 1320 isnt going to fare well in that first 1/8th but will pick up a lot more in the second 1/8th. The faster rolling speed you start the better chance you have against a bike. Id try the 1000 at 80-160. It should be pretty damn close.

well i took my bike to out 1/4 miles track and ran a 10.67 @ 143 last night. now the et doesnt mean much against a car that prob will cut a 1.5 60ft.
this is a back and forth thing, 600 can be beat on a street race, but it is going to take a stout car to handle a 1000cc with a good rider. any car that messes with me on the highway will see me in first until around 107 then hit second and continue on handing the whoopings out. there are very few cars that can get to 185, even the f-body's cant. the new C6 is the only new car from GM that can even get over it and it stops around 195.

Alot of people under estimate 750's.
There is a significant differnence between a 600 and a 750 in terms of power, weight and speed.
750's run with 1000's, 929's, 900 etc...
600's do not.

I'm less impressed with the rider's ability now that i know his bike is significantly more powerful, and much less stock than i had previously believed.
To the thread starter - Nice kill.
