Integra SE vs sports bike

Hah...This wasnt even a real race! But I decided to post it anyways:

Me and two my friends were riding his one of my friends brothers (whew that took somethought) Integra SE. Nothing special-just I/E/H rollin on 17's. We were on the way back from the mall (what fun...) and we pulled along side these two sports bikes. I dunno what they were, but well that doesnt really matter now does it? So just jokingly, my friend threw it in 3rd and revved a couple times. Well...after about 3 seconds, mr. bikey was 7-8 cars ahead of us-we were floored. This experience has been an awakening-my realization: Sports bikes are fudging fast!

:lol:

no shame in that.

i can remember my 1st race against a bike in my gsr. wasn't pretty AT all...

Ya almost all 600cc + sport bikes are nasty fast compared to cars. LOL The feel even faster ridding on them, My buddy has a ZX6R and that things is hella fast compared to anything else I have ever drove or rode on :icon16:

what are some stock 1/4 mile times or 0-60 times on some of these bikes?

9-11 second 1/4 stock, my cbr900rr went 9.90's & katana 10.40's. I never did get why people "tried" to race me when I had my bikes. I could still beat most of them on wheel. There is a 9 second Jeep CJ7 around my area that took a hayabusa(1300cc) by a car lenght or so. Cars are just plain SLOW after riding built 600cc & 900cc rockets.

I have a video of a turbo charged GSXR 600 or 750, HOLY SHIT! now that's just stupid fast.

Ever seen a top fuel drag bike? Burnin' nitro(not nitrous) and running 7 seconds @ 240mph+

Yes, bikes are road demons!!! When I was back home in Chicago a few weeks back, two dudes on bikes were cruising at about 50 in a 45. I was slowly passing them doing almost 55. Not racing, just driving. I guess they didn't like being passed by (of all things) an Accord. The first guy dropped gear and took off, the second one did the same. I dropped gear just to see exactly how many lengths they were gonna leave me by...it was too many to count. ten seconds later, they were specs. :disappoin

haha...reminds me of a story...

o/t: my buddy's uncle has an 87 GN running mid 10's. this guy is cruising down I5 when a sport bike comes up next to him an takes off doing a wheelie. well...he floored it (auto), and was sitting right next to the guy. this car sounds like a beast, and the guy on the bike about crashed cuz of how shocked he was w/ something keeping up w/ him.

the guy said his look was priceless... :biggrin:

Who would be frikin crazy enough to ride it through a pass?? I mean people s*** themselves when they run their bikes 200+ but gettin 240 in 7 seconds? that takes some balls!

Eh, you ever seen somebody ride a snowmobile with a slick track down the quarter mile? Now THAT is scary - to watch! The bloody thing actually wables side to side all the way down the strip. These things aren't slow either - as fast as most stock sportbikes. 10-11 sec ET's are common.

Pure lunacy if you ask me. :2cents:

These bikes im talking about:

Those sled guys are crazy, i've seen a 9 second sled at the track. By far the craziest thing I've seen on a drag strip was a ROCKET powered tiny ass go-kart type thing.

What some people do for kicks, huh? :p

you guys hear about the tomahawk?
thats the bike that dodge made with the viper engine...
so 500hp in a bike that in theory can go 250mph+
i said in theory cuz nobody has done it yet.
don't remember th 1/4 mile #s, anyone remember what i'm talking about?

It's actually for sale, and top-speed is estimated at 300+ MPH.

Yea that Viper bike is bad ass!!!!!!They are building 10 to sell & thats it, I think. When they first brought that out, it was never meant to be sold.

I don't think I'd try a Nitro Harley(top fuel) but I would jump on a Pro stock bike in a second.

yeah the last i heard it was still a prototype, but i guess they sell them now....
seems like it'd rip your arms off though

blah...bikes scare the shit outa me...I rode on my sis's boyfriends honda (i dunno what model...)but man....we were going 110 on the interstate (me and her bf) JESUS i dont think id ever wanna drag one of those things! Hell i get scared speeding in a convertable much less a bike with NOTHING there...Im a woosie i know.

110, that all??? LOL, 110mph seems hella faster than in a car. I remember the first time I did 60mph, I thought that was fast. Now after riding for a couple years, 110mph is nothing compared to some of the stuff I've done.

Anyone know if motorcycles are legal on the German Autobahn? If so i need to get my ass over there!

there was slight sarcasm there...But bikes do freak me out none of the less

what are the redlines and fuel economy of these bikes?
i have no knowledge of superbikes, anyone know a site where i can read up on some info??

10,000-18,000+(on the 2 strokes, not legal for street use in USA) Fuel economy is of no concern, I think my last bike got around 30mpg, never really paid much attention to that.
