Default Killed New ZX6R

On the way home from work tonight i finally got my chance to see what she could do against a bike.

I saw the guy coming from behind and didn't know what type of bike it was, but I was hoping he would do a flyby when the traffic cleared, and sure enough he did.

So I already had my hand on the shifter and shifted to third as he went beside me. I was doing maybe 55. I should have gone for second, but thought I might spin, and it was too late anyway. I played cathup through most of third, and reeled him in through the bottom of fourth up to about 135. At this point he knows he's not up against any vette. So he wants to get a clean run.

This time we go from about 50. He takes the hit, I'm in third again like an idiot, but he goes nowhere. I stay dead even with him until I hit fourth. Then I put about half a car on him before we had to slow down for traffic at around 130. I was just getting into my sweet spot and it was going to get ugly for him, but a half a car will do. He was a cool guy and was genuinely suprised at the outcome. We gave each other a thumbs up, and he said my car was fast as hell. Then we went our separate ways.

I cant wait till I learn how to drive and get a big bike on a clean run.

I'm truly sorry to hear that since I ride too, but his guy rode away still breathing. I hope that makes everyone feel a little better.

I've got a few crappy ones, but that is a fine ride you got. That's for sure.

Nice run, but you'll have to make more power to take down a liter bike IMO. Keep it safe

I'm hoping to make around 750rwhp when all is said and done. I think that should be enough to get them on the big end. I am still learning to drive the car since stepping up from around 470rwhp.

Yeah I seen your sig "Soon to be 700+" Its pretty crazy to think though that you need 650-700+ hp (depending on weight) to take down a liter bike. Good luck with your plans.
