Try a modern day liter bike if you want to do wheelies in every gear. Those happen in a heartbeat.

I have a heavily modded 06 gixxer 750.... that SPRINTS away from liter bikes. My buddy has an 08 gixxer 1000 and I put five lengths on him before I got out of 3rd gear
Here's a video of me and my baby.

This sounds ridiculous (since you own a few liter bikes) but have you got to ride a 450R? For what it is... it's INSANE!!!

F1 engines are rules restricted to 19,000 rpms. But my Camaro SS puts out an easy 500 RWTQ (less than 10 pounds of boost) from 4400-5620 rpms on a Mustang dyno. So go back to dirt bikes.

Well, first off I know about the rules and regulations... They also dropped the displacement as well... 2.4 liter V8's I believe. I also know that the F1 engines have such tight tolerances that you have to preheat the oil before cranking it over... 22,000 is called sarcasm. Since you're an F1 engineer then you are well aware of power to weight ratio's... So why in the hell would you give the worst example of one?!?!?! Let's say that the Camaro with all its fluids is about 3600 pounds with a RWTQ of 500 plug the numbers into the equation and you get a torque to weight of 7.2lbs to 1rwtq. Now the 450R's RWTQ before the jet was right at 50rwtq. It weights with all its fluids 234.8 lbs and that's a torque to weight ratio of 4.69lbs to 1rwtq. For being an engineer you really don't think things through.


Oh...A liter bike(GSXR1000) torque to weight is about 5.7 to 1 so the 450r kills that example too.

Ha Ha, so we're getting banned now for proving people wrong? Damn. New Rule? Sounds like someone got butt hurt b/c he got proven wrong. The whole issue started because of your "Try a modern day liter bike..." comment. He just posted the video to share.
