4857, I just ran up against a bike(crotch rocket)
Posted by MWC, May-10-01 02:29 PM
boy was that interesting.
Light turned green and we both hit it. I took him for maybe 1 second then he pulled me in. I was suprized I even hung in there for about the 60 ft range, after that he pulled a good car on me, and we both let off.
I had a freaking perfect luanch with very little spin, just a chirp through the gears. I love my tranny. :)
I dont know what kind of bike it was but it was new looking and had 2 diamond shape like head lights. It was cool though, just thought I would post it.
SEE YA!!!!!!!!!!!MWC

Probably a Yamaha R6 or R1. They have two diamond shaped headlights. Was it red/white or blue/white? If so, it was a Yamaha.
If it was an R6 (600cc) you could've still seen him by the time he hit 1/4 mile. They run in the 11s-12s from the factory. If it was an R1 (1000cc) forgetaboutit. They run in the 10s.

actually, the r6s are capabele of running mid-high 10s
stock, and the r1s run low-mid 10s.
the only real advantage of the r1 is it will keep on pullin well beyond that.
the r6 handles better cause of the lighter weight, and in real world speeds will stick to an r1s ass. plus its cheaper :)

hmmm interesting...I was just going by what I've seen at the local dragway. Must either not know how to ride or be afraid of pushing it.
