Which race track was this?

 

ha. Didn't you see where he said they raced up to the posted speed limit?

 

Yup, my buddy had a cbr with some work done to it. I remember him following me, and I got on it to pass a car, then I hear him just fly by me like I was standing still. Depressing....

 

cops should really stay off the track

 

You should get a busa

 

Or perhaps an 09 VMax...a muscle car on two wheels. Hehe

 

Just curious...

At about what speed does a super sport 600 (or atleast in your case) start to pull away and cream the SV?

Basically when you say you raced him are you talking triple digit stuff or does the CBR start pulling away much quicker?

 

I'll keep up till 40 or so. Then its light out. Anything from a roll of 70 or more and you dont stand a chance.

Of course this was all tested on a closed track....

 

I would assume once the cbr hits 7k rpms or so it blows by the sv.

 

I would say at about 60 - 70mph his bike turned into a rocket and exponentially turned me into a scooter. Not sure at the speed he kicked in though. Was paying more attention to what was up ahead. We probably got up to about 110mph before we saw the Po Po around the bend. Definitely a quicky.

 

Sketchy, must have really had your heart pumping when you stopped, a combination of adreneline from the race and seeing a cop

 

Sketchy indeed. Not something I wish to do on a consistent basis. Was fun though, and he was a good sport about it...and apparently so was the cop.

 

Ah so you got the sense that the cop knew what was up?

 

What year was this CBR?? Just curious.

 

It was a Red and Black...eh, '06 is what I think he said during lunch.

 

I don't know how she couldn't have known unless she just wasn't paying any attention as to what all the racket was behind her, especially as our front ends dipped right as we saw her. There were no other cars on the road. I guess if she couldn't see it she really can't do much. But she gave us both the "eye". I felt like saying, "hi, k, love you, bye".

 

oh she knew but without that radar handy (on and pointing behind her)what was she going to stand on? I got a freebie like that after letting off as the on-ramp joined the freeway and was head-to-head with a trooper that shot me a look like "I almost had you".

and thanks for letting me know whats in store for me when I go home to ride with a friend who bought a gsxr600

 

I had a similar run, closed course of course, with a 749s yesterday. Pretty tight until the top of third, then a nice walk.

 

50-60 is where a 600rr starts to pull away from me.

 

Yes, a CBR is faster than an SV650... who woulda thunk it?

 

Yeah, but my SV is way more flickable and way faster in the twisties...

 

I could keep up with my friends gsxr600 till around 80, then he would come around me like I was sitting still. If you get a chance ride a 600, they really have no power till 7 or 8000 rpms.

 

I want an I4 600 now...

 

Interesting. I was riding pretty fast by my school when this bozo on a 600rr flew by me and the next day people were saying "you got your @ss handed to you" and sh1t like that. I wasn't even racing:'(

 

You should've just show them your real racing video and proved your skillz.

 

I love my SV......

but my car (Mazdaspeed3) would eat its lunch rolling start from 70 mph

then again, my MS3 has demonstrated a 155 mph top speed





on a closed track of course

Have to assume that's modified, if so, with?

Stock Mazda3s have quarter mile times of ~14 seconds. he SV should be able to hang with that until at least > 100MPH or so.. ?

 

I want a new bike...LOL

 

idk wtf you guys are talking about i took a cbr 600 and a ZX6 on the twisty's finish sat in a parking lot waiting for them. yeah in a strait line they got you but if you have skill in the turns the sv will kick the cbr in the nads.

 

Only if cbr rider doesn't have skill. I love my sv, but it doesn't compare with SS bikes' speed OR cornering ability. In most case RIDER is the limiting factor though.

 

i smoke my buddy's gsxr 600 till 60-70 mph... yey...

 

I was messing with my buddie's 02 GSXR 750 the other day. From a roll 30 MPH or so, he had me by about 5-6 bike lengths at 120 MPH. I was quite impressed than my 650 was thatquick.

 

skill is a major thing but think about it.
what bikes do the Squids (who never have ridden) ohh and ahh for...????

 

The SV really can't compare to the CBR. My '06 600RR would loft the front wheel shifting into second at well over 60mph. I ran -1/+3 gears and it went into hyperspace at 10K.

On the handling front, the CBR steered like it was telepathic and was WAY more stable and confidence inspiring when leaned over.

I can't say much for the SV besides it looking cool and being easy on the wallet.
