so I pull up next to my friend on his 2002 Honda CBR600F4i, and we race. It was a great race, in the first 100 ft. he was only about 99 ft ahead of me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif . Next time I may be able to take him, what do you think? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

One of my best friends had a 2002 F4i. We raced and he left me due to traction issues, but when the end of third came near- so did he. As I shifted into 4th I caught him and at about 6500rpm's passed him. This was at about 140-150. Bottom line- you can beat some of those rockets if you've got enough road. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

i know the feeling.....if you have enough road, you can run almost any of those bikes stock on teh top end.....i ran to almost 180 with my windows down and the roof open in my first fd, and that was with my passenger.....we were about 3 car lengths behind a yamaha r1 the whole time.....my buddies bike topped out at around 186...i got to 178...

Man....I get nervous when I run too much over 100 with the moonroof open.
I keep thinking that the wind's going to rip it right off- https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png |
i was more worried about my buddy shitting in my car https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

dang, your buddy hit 186 on his bike?? that sounds scary https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

I have a video of me getting my ass kicked by a 2002 Honda CBR929 Erion Edition.....pretty shitty race. I want a rematch with my new setup...I think I can take him this time. Bikes are crazy fast, I want one. What do you think my FD can top out at: Race Ported motor w/ a GT35/40 turbo. Stock 4:10 gears, I want to see 185mph...is that possible?
|
WOW!
I did not think a car had a chance against a crotch-rocket. I figured with with their power-to-weight ratio they would eat almost any car alive, especially on the top-end. I was always afraid to race a bike in some of my other cars but now maybe I'll try it. How about in a street start, say from 40-50mph? My father-in-law has a Duccati 900ss and it is fast but not for a superbike (it's made more for the twisties). May when I get my FD running again, I'll take him on. He has no respect for my car or any other imports. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif I'd own him if I beat him on his bike. HA!HA! |
ive run a few bikes.. some have whooped my ass.. some have been whooped.. with enough road, and the right conditions.. you can easily take an unmodded bike on the highway... modded ones... watch out for those! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png

my buddys starlet has taken a bike before. but he was running some juice also
|
bikes have crazy acceleration, but cars can take them pretty easily on top speed.
For example: Covette C5--- 0-60 in 4.9, tops out at 175 mph Honda CBR600F4i--- 0-60 in 2.9, tops at about 155 mph See, the CBR would kill the vette off the line, but the vette takes it in the end. |
I want a bike too.. but first gotta fix the FD up.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

i took a yamaha secaII in my brothers S600, killes him off the line and all through 2nd gear, he was amazed
he pulled up to me at the next light and freaked out at how fast this car is, i just said V12!!! |
Busa's are fast. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png
Somebody told me about going faster then the aerodynamics and handle on some bike so the rear wheel broke loose and spun at speed. |
At speeds like 170 the danger of crashing is like 10 fold for a bike in my opinion.
If you want that type of speed you have to be willing to risk it. |
https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png yea your friend shitting it your car is something that scare me too....because he'd have to go right then and there https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif
