Beat a sportbike?!?!?

Concerning the last post. A FZR600, 700 pounds? Are you nuts? Try 450 wet with my 130 on top comes out to 580 total. I think you're thinking craziness. I'd like to see a relatively stock 5.0 even try to keep with it. You're nuts. Either your buddy can't ride or somebody really messed his jetting up. For a bike that runs 11.8's with a pro rider from the factory, i'd say getting whooped by a stock Mustang is an insult. My bike isn't the fastest, but in the city, it's quick. For a 600 it's got gobs of torque, even compared to a newer one. Considering taht it's powerband also starts at 6000 rpm, low for a bike. Top end, I know i lack and would get smoked by many on the highway. Nevertheless, 11.8 as tested, with me riding, maybe 12.5. remains to be seen.

Mike: Rey was actually telling me about that you guys ere gonna have a go at it! I didn't realize it as you he was talking about. I really want to see this. Rey probably would ahve taken me but hte road was super cold and it was roll on from 1st gear after we both turned left from a light onto vic park. He got a lot of spin, i still pulled him. Interesting to see teh results from a real race.

Talk to you soon.
