Well today after work, I decided to stop by a friend's house. I drive over there and see that he's not home. "Damn," So I head towards the house. I'm sitting at the intersection in my town and I see a bike. I'm like "Nice...," Then I see its orange and black. I immediately know who it is. Its a friend of mine from back in high school on his GSXR-600. He points at me as he goes through the intersection. I watch him and he is watching me. I'm waiting for the green so I can turn and follow. Seems like this light is taking its sweet ass time... So it finally turns and I get on it a lil to catch up to him. I get up to him pretty quick and I see him squat. Then I hear his D&D exhaust scream as he downshifts. I am in third and punch it. I'm expecting him to pull away, but I stay with him. Look down, we are doing about 100mph. Thank god for open roads.lol I let off a lil just to keep safe space. Then back on it. As we apporach 130, he hasn't pulled on me at all. I see a truck up ahead so I begin to slow down. I don't fuck around with bikes. I know how fast they stop. So I am like "Holy shit!!!!" and we get stuck behind some traffic. Since he's on a bike, he just passes quickly. I stay behind for prolly 4 miles watching him do a lil stunting. Its so cool to watch bikes do that stuff. So when I get a safe opening I pass and get in front of him. He didn't try to stop me or anything. So I then punch it and so does he. He stays with me about the same as I stay with him. Once again, I go to about 130-135. Looks like I put just a lil distance on him in the end. So I pull over at a convinience store to talk to him for a sec. He pulls up next to me and says "DAMN!!! THat thing does pull!" I asked him if he got off it in the end. He said he did a lil but got back on. Oh well, I still thought my car did very well.

I also saw him out at the track when I ran. So he knew what the car could do. I was so happy to have kept up with a bike... I doubt I'd pull on him tho.

Pretty quick to keep up with a gixxer. Nice job.

Aren't GXR-600's 11 second bikes? Crazy.

Pretty sure, but they can get a lot of ET just out of their launch if they stick it right.

I took a bike once. We both took off from the line, and in a matter of seconds I had bus lengths on him. I checked my rear view mirror to see where he was. I could see him still peddling like a mad man. Big wheels, all show and no go...:icon16:.

he was screwing with you...you didnt keep up with it liar

he was screwing with you...you didnt keep up with it liar

And you know what about his car? Tell me, I'm dying to know. If you don't know anything, then go away. So please, give me a brief explanation of what Nissanfanatic has done to his car, and what should he be running.

Ready...set...go!!

he was screwing with you...you didnt keep up with it liar

Yea thats what he said after I STOPPED AND TALKED TO HIM. He's a friend of mine.

How do some people remember to breathe?:rolleyes:

:bs: They may not get good launches due to the fwd but they have a massive top end. We need at least two videos and timeslips from each of the cars.

no shit, I just had a similar run in with a gsx-r of some sort (couldn't tell what model) but it was blue and white. When I pulled up next to him we were rolling at about 45 in traffic and I just look over and nod to him. A car turns in his lane and backs him up a little bit but I get on it and he follows, we do high speed cat and mouse until a series of about 3 cops in 30 seconds pass us (we stopped as soon as we saw the first) and wound up at a light.
We exchanged words, I expressed interest in owning a bike someday, told him the car had the japanese turbo engine and such. Then a green light ended our conversation as we slowly took off from the light and I got on it. He did a rolling wheelie and flew right past my ass on it but right as he flew by I hit it in 2nd and stayed within a reasonable car or two before getting in the other lane to take a turn.

Bikes are fun as hell. Fun to watch and fun to ride.
sorry, I just figured since I had a somewhat similar experience in a 240sx as well I thought I'd share.

and i'm pretty sure nissanfanatic's S13 is a good amount faster then yours. he said he kept up, not take. nissanfanatic's car also traps 107mph. so its definitly plausible.

I’m not saying it didn’t happen and that you lied, but with a 107mph trap there is no way you beat a GSXr600 fair and square. He either fucked up or something was wrong with his bike. That or he “got off of it” for a good 10 seconds!

I was not going to be the first to say this...thanks eps.

this story is amazingly similar to rednecks 240Z. everyone believed redneck. i'm pretty sure nissanfanatic's 240 makes more power then rednecks Z so it should make him have a equal power to weight ratio with redneck's Z. rednecks Z also ran the 1/4 with the G-tech and it trapped very similar to nissanfanatic's 240. redneck also raced 2001LS1Z28 and they were pretty equal. 20001LS1Z28 stated in nissanfantic's other thread stating that his 240sx has around the same top end as his LS1. so how come people would believe redneck and not nissanfanatic? he never stated he took the bike, however he said that he kept up. the race was from 60mph-135mph.

I’m assuming you are talking about Redneck and the Z06? I don’t remember Redneck claiming to hang with a GSXr600.

So with that in mind, I personally don’t think Redneck’s Z was faster than the Z06, but maybe the driver since it was a female. Again I’m not saying he made it up, I just don’t think the Z06 was at its full potential. A Z06 of course is different than a 600cc bike! So why even bring it up?

the story i'm talkin about wasn't about redneck keeping up with a Z06, nor a GSXR600. if you look for rednecks old races, he said that he kept up with a CBR600 if i remember correctly.

oh wait i just checked, its a CBR1000RR heres the link to the thread

To paraphrase Madox....How do you people remeber to breath?


He never once said he beat the bike. He said he kept up with it...

So a car that traps 107 kept up with a bike that traps 127 :eek7: He was definitely toying with you, which I think was already stated.

I beleive it. Nissanfanatic has very bad traction (2.38 60') and it pulls a whole lot better top end. The bike gets excellent traction from a stop, but this was from a roll, and bikes aren't exactly geared for going 130+. A 600 bike can hardly reach 140.

Depending on how old the gsxr is I can believe it. Earlier - mid 90's models 600's arent nearly as fast as people think. Most 600 bikes arent very fast at all without some mods and gears compared to larger bikes. The newer ones are much quicker any info on year?

Not completely true, my friend's ducati 748 hits 152 mph...sure it's bigger than a 600 cc, but for those of you who know something about bikes, ducati's are better known for being monsters off the line instead of their top end.

Its an 04.

Mountain bikes are RWD.



Nice story, I believe ya...

There is still no way he kept up with a bike that genrally traps 18mph higher than him.

I don't mean to sound like I'm calling you a liar or anything Nissan. Like I said, I don't doubt that it actually happened but it sure as hell was not a true race. When I say true I mean both of you going all out.

that's not true at all.
my bike can do 140 easy. it's governed at 170.

i think the guy was toying around, an 04 gixxer 600 will trap 125+ mph and can touch 10's driven well.

your 600 can do 170??? i dunno......that's in liter bike territory....i'm not calling BS....maybe i'm just ignorant...and those 600 bikes are a bitch to ride sometimes....he might've shifted wrong, he might've had something wrong with the bike mechanically....or plain and simple nissan stay with the dude...good job nissan....

170 is a little optimistic...considering my friend's Ducati 996S tops at 170.
Edit: Just remembered my other friend's R6 with exhaust and chip tops out up around there...so it could be possible.

i thought 600cc bike's top speed is in the 160-165mph range. plus after 140mph, the 600cc bikes hits a big wall. lack of hp and iffy aerodynamics really hurts top end.

nice of you that you kept up with him. Good race :sunglasse

Don't give a damn what people are saying. If you hung with it, then awesome. Great race!

I don't see why the bike would play around with nissanfanatic, it's not like he's driving a POS, the bike would have been just as excited about a worthy race.

Nice race man, it must be a nice fuzzy feeling to keep up with a 600cc bike.

I could only imagine how he felt looking in his mirror to see you still right with him. I own a zx-7r with some mods and ive never raced anything worthy enough to stay with in a football fields distance. As said before well done. Now get some traction and get your times down.

your 600 can do 170??? i dunno......that's in liter bike territory...
this is true, but only because most production literbikes are governed at 300kph/181 mph, it's kind of a Gentlemens agreement, ungoverned they'll go 200+.

if you wanna check out some of the posts in this thread over on the kawasaki forums, it says how fast some of the other members have gotten their 636's:

170 is a little optimistic...considering my friend's Ducati 996S tops at 170.

your friend's duc is a v twin, not a 4 cylinder that revs to 15.8K, it's not gonna be as generous on the top end. my bike makes 10-15 more hp than a 996 S, it only makes about 1/2 the tq though.

Don't give a damn what people are saying. If you hung with it, then awesome. Great race!

I don't. Someone asks a question, I answer. And thanks...:)

Yea he was pretty shocked when he stopped to talk to me.lol First thing he said when he stopped was "Damn, that thing does pull!" Hopefully he stops by work sometime. I'm gonna see if he wants to do a couple highway runs on film.

how much hp does your 636 make? most 600cc bikes only makes around 100-110hp. theres no way 110hp can get you to over 200+mph. even a 1300cc hyabusa can't go 200mph. i'll go check out the bike forums and get edumacated.

edit: just came back from the forums, the speedo's even the digital ones on the ninja's or most bikes in general reads 10% higher. so most did a indicated 183mph however if you caculate the gear ratio and tire size and throw in a small factor of tire diameter inflation and they said the true top speed is in the 160-165mph when its indicated at 180ish mph on the speedo.

so as i said, most 600cc bikes will have a hard ass time hitting a true 170mph. 110hp is just not enough. physics says that everytime the speed doubles, you need 8X the hp to keep going. 110hp is just not enough. if i can find the formula for the frontal area vs drag vs hp equation in my old notes i'll glady put it up.

^ according to kawi it makes 126 crank hp and usually shows 110-117 at the wheel on a dyno.
regardless, i was just trying to say that a 600 can definitely do 140 to whoever was saying they struggle to reach that speed.

Mountain bikes are RWD.

All bikes except those ones you lay down and pedal are RWD.


Gratz NisFan, sounds like your car is damn quick, Get some work on that backside of yours to help that traction and let's see what you start puttin down on paper :)

i have a sportbike and let me tell you, that gsx-r was just messing with you, or else he definitely wasnt on the throttle 100% or he would have been long gone...his p/w ratio is through the roof, 115hp and 360lbs w/o rider..so with rider lets say 520.....thats like having a car with 600hp....

You still need to bring it down to a sub 2.0 '60 .. maybe 1.7 or somethin? ;)

I would have to say that unless there is some video footage of this...i'm gonna have a hard time believing this story. My car traps 110+mph and i'm very afraid of a street bike of any size. Maybe the competition is a little more fierce where i live but all i know is even with the power i got, i still wouldn't be messin' with no bike. Even a 600.

People seem to forget though. 1. Bikes are extremely aerodynamically limited. 2. High revs and long gears dont exaclty make for the best roll on acceleration. Hell riding a 97 zx-7 and then my buddy's 02 600 gsxr I could feel the difference from launching it and rolling the throttle hard . 600 cc nreally arent all that fast from a roll. Excellent job on the new time by nissan.

so THAT explains why i saw bikes running low trap speeds (for the given ET) at the track

[QUOTE=TatII] ....even a 1300cc hyabusa can't go 200mph....QUOTE]

that's because they're governed at 189 or 190 can't remember which :wink: , but i've seen many videos of guys going 203-205 in ones that are stock and ungoverned....btw my buddy has a CBR 600 F4i with a stage 3 jet kit and a chip, he's gotten up to 173mph....i'm too scared to go that fast....just got my bike last week....lol...

I believe you kept up with him nissan, being you did witness yourself keeping up with him. I do however also believe it was not a true race like others. I don't think anything is wrong with nissan's story , but his word doesn't cover every detail about the race, and what "could have been" no disrespect.

I do however also believe it was not a true race like others

Never said it was a true race.

what probably happened was the kid on the bike was overconfident and just rolled on the throttle from whatever gear he was in, instead of downshifting and punching it. regardless, you've got a nice, fast ass car that'll put most to shame.
