Most people with cars simply beat the riders, not the bikes. If you ever encounter a stock 636, R6 or other fast 600 with a good light rider, its a LOT like racing a 1000 from a dead stop to about 80 or so. Big bikes are nasty up top, but they are all pretty similar down low...you can only put some much power to the ground on a single tire!

The one I ran from a dig and up top was a brand new bike. I stopped and talke to the guy. He told me he wasnt that good of a rider, but I still won.

I'm also a previous bike rider (rode sportbikes for about 6 years up until last year) and agree that any newer 600 would handle a mostly stock C6 no problem. The 600's are in the 10's stock so if you beat one it's obviously the rider. You did win so congratulations. I bet the bike rider felt like a dipshit after that

The other thing about the top end ride, is that the bikes pull a lot harder on the bottom than the top end, and they make up the most time on a car on the bottom end in the 1/4 mile. They arent as strong on the top end. The only reason I beat him from a dig, is he couldnt launch it. I had about 2 car lengths on him at about 160, but he was hanging right there. At 70, I drop the car into 3rd and Im in the peak of the powerband, and his is not. The big thing about cars is momentum, and at 70, the momentum is already there. I would love to run some more 600's to see if the result is similar. The other one I ran from about the same speed and pulled almost exactly the same, So Im not sure if the rider would make a difference on the 70 roll. And by no means am I saying i can beat anything, as I have lost PLENTY of races in my time..i dont care if i win or lose, i just enjoy driving really fast
