Yamaha 750

Rick,I know how you feel... The first time I actually beat a bike in my car I was like WTF!!!! I had a buddy in my car and some friends were following us when a group of bikes turned on from a side road. A couple of them took off and we caught up to check them out (I am big crotch rocket fan...I drive a GSXR750 whenever weather permits along w/ my friends). I see them look over and a Honda CBR600F3 starts to jump next to me. Well, not wanting to look like a wuss w/ friends around I say screw it a drop 2nd. Amazingly, I pulled him till we let off in 4th. I was exstatic to say the least. They gave a thumbs up and I told them how surprised I was. After that the next week I took my car to the bridge and ran my buddies (one on a 900RR and the other on a ZX9R) I got the jump on them, actually they let me get out about 2 car lengths, but still the CBR900 never caught me and the ZX only passed me after 150mph. I was again surprised, because like said before these are 10sec bikes and I know these guys and I know they can ride like hell!!! What I guess I'm trying to say is that roll racing doesn't really give you a good measure as far as drag racing. There is too much involved in rpm's of 1 vehicle vs. another, but I will admit it is gratifying to see the headlights of a crotch rocket in your rear view know that he knows he can't catch up!!!

P.S.--Rick,hunt down 900RR's and you will see that they are barely faster than most newer model 600's. Have Fun!!
