help beating a bike??????
04-newer 600's are going to run 10.7-11.0@~125-128 with a good rider. When I ran my 600 it trapped identical mph, but a slower time (60ft) to a 402 stroker camaro. The camaro has stage 3 6.0L heads, a 24x/25x .6xx cam, fast 90/90, Turbo 400 with a 3800 stall, 9", Qa1 coilovers, adjustable chassis mount torque arm, LCA's, a tubular K-member, and a cage. Low 1.4x 60ft's on slicks. 3400 raceweight. Both the car and bike trapped 103 in the 1/8th and 125-127 in the quarter. My advice if you want to beat a 600 is run them from a dig if you have suspension and the rider sucks (1.7x 60ft is about all your going to get on stock ride height and length) and shut down early. If you make a bit more power and don't have the suspension, run them from as high of a roll as you can get them to agree to. Top speed on a stock 600 is mid 150's to mid 160's.
My 01 ZX6R lowered, geared, and with a slip on. Went 6.82@105 with a 1.52 60'. That was with a 150lbs rider that knew what he was doing. And my bike is very predictable out of the hole, meaning that 1.5 60' could be done on the street just as easily as the track.
Weight also plays more of a factor on a 600. 100 pounds is 8-10 MPH difference in the 1/4. I've seen 130lbs girl go 128mph on my bike in the 1/4, where as I (230 lbs) can only pull of 119-120. And I'm leaving harder. So you are much more likely to beat a heavier rider than a lighter one.
Here is a video of the girl riding. Keep in mind that this girl is no rider, these 2 runs are the only 60's that have been sub 2.0 and they are still high 1.9s.

I think alot of the guys who have never owned or ridden one of these bikes really don't understand how fast they are. They race one guy that doesn't know how to ride and all of a sudden they're slow and it only takes 480 whp to outrun one. My car probably makes 550 whp on the jug and my bike (07 gsx-r 750) would still take it out, I'm quite certain of it. I ride and drive both pretty regular.
Its my brothers boat...I have no idea what it is I haven't seen it yet. We're just going up to Canyon lake and staying over the weekend.
