GT vs Honda 600

01GT · 05-24-2005, 12:59 AM

I was on my way home from Orlando and I saw a bike. So I decided to see if he would run me so we went back and forth passing each other and what not. We finally got a nice long stretch with no cars around we were on the Florida Turnpike btw so a lot of room. I gto next to him and motion for him to run he complied and down shifted once. So we both hit it and I pulled him so I slowed down thinking he didn't go and I saw him Downshift again and tuck in. So I hit it again from about 85-110. I started in third gear which was just about 4800rpms. By the time we hit 110 he was at my back bumper. I was stoked and he was pissed he started weaving between cars and I could never catch him again. ZGood run though wish I would have got to talk to him. It was either a CBR 600F4i or CBR 600F4. Kind of dark out at the time .

Nice. 600 bikes aren't that powerful. If you tried him from a stop I don't think you would have kept up.

If you only run 12.9 I don't think you'd keep up either....Teh K&N filtered GT strikes again!

Even the new 600's have gone 10's do you know what year of bike it was?

A guy on a Katana 750 or something wants to run me....should be fun. He usually traps around 91-92 mph in the 1/8. I thought that his bike is slow.....the guy you raced must have weighed 2000lbs. 91-92 mph is plenty enough to whoop on a high 12 second car.

yeah, i came up on some cbr's once. i launched like a bastard and i had them for a gear or so. when i was in second, they waved to me. in the twistys though...yeah, you need big nuts to keep up with awd with 1 wheel drive.

even the 88 ninja would pull a 12.5 though, it may have been a 400 or 250.

It was a Honda 600 F4I or F4 so between 2000 and 2003 I think. A bike beats the cars because it is awesome out of the hole. From a 85 mph roll he was not that fast. Honda didn't make a 250 or a 400 in the newer years. On a Katana 750 with your mods you should do well because those things are dogs out of the hole. I had one I would know. I agree from a stop he would have killed me but it was fun.
