Jake Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 From a standing start he'll beat you easily. You'll reel him in eventually but it will take a while. A bike like that will do a standing start ¼ mile in 11 odd secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Just passed his CBT - and now he wants to go out racing people? Yeah that! I'd advise against it bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yeah that! I'd advise against it bud Ok I wont encourage him too much then...just was thinking of a clear stretch of dually in middle of night...but I guess he will need a bit more experience before gives it a little burst...Im sure Ive passed CBR600's before when raced...couldn't take on a Fireblade or anything but from a standing start i know he would have the edge ..from previous experience then 40 upwards then I would be passed him I reckon but havent raced a bike for ages now!

Lucifer Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I aint got a clue I just assumed it was called a CBT! LOL might have 22bhp restrictor ring in LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 LOL might have 22bhp restrictor ring in LOL Its 33 they restrict them to. You should be able to keep up with a CBR ok once your rolling. I've played about with an R1 while in the Sup before, and there was very little in it (and yes, I am also a biker, so I know exactly what they are capable of).

SkyJawa Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I only passed a few months back and I wouldn't race you. Takes aggggggggges until you are fully competent with the bike and its asking for trouble. He'd have ya though My FZ6 is only a sports tourer (detuned R6 engine), not a supersports like the CBR, and my bike can still do 0-60 in 3.5 secs and 0-100 in 7.5secs (not with me riding it though!!!) So they are a bit quick mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have raced a ZX10 in mine last year (vid available) and it was a joke, I have an R1 and a TLS , but those zx10's are frikkin rapid.
