RX-8 VS a Bike.

I was coming home from dropping off my fiance and I pass a bike that has a guy and his hot g/f behind him. I get to a red light and I'm just relaxing with my music (new linkin park song QWERTY) and the guy looks at me, I dont pay attention and I take off to the next light.

So at this light the guy comes up to me again and his chick is checking out my car and then she starts lookin at me, she said something that sounded like "Nice car" and the guy got pissed off. The light turns green and both our lanes go left. I take off and kick the tail of the car out a bit and I take the turn very smooth at 50, when I'm through with the turn I had put 5 cars on the bike so I'm like "Ha!" I shut down at about 90 and the bike does a flyby as I begin to turn right towards my neighborhood. I look back at them and I see the girl is hitting the guy, I laugh and go home thinking, that guy is definately not getting any tonight.

man every time I ride my bike I always get a car trying to race me....dont people ever learn....BTW what kind of bike was it......250cc or 500c maybe...

I don't know why they bother. Very few street legal run on pump gas cars can run with a bike. The power:weight ratio is too high.

all I know is this guy couldnt take the turn from the begining and thats why I got a 5 car lead.

Actually, there are more than a number of street legal (which, oddly enough, doesn't mean much) pump gas cars that can out run Bikes. Bikes are light, yes, they are quick, definately, but they are not the end all be all to racing. Most riders can't launch a bike worth a shit unless they have a over sized swingarm and huge ass rear tire, so that nine second capable bike is putting down 11s and 12s. Once you get rolling, and wieght is no longer a major issue, it can be even easier. I have more movies of true street cars on pump or slightly above pump (i.e. mid 90 octane, like 95-98, not C16 or race gas) whuping the shit outa liter bikes and bigger than I have movies of bikes winning.

Keep in mind that this rider had a passenger, and he probably didn't want her falling off the back of the bike. But without knowing what kind of bike it was...:dunno:

^^^agreed.....trying to race someone in a turn with a passenger is a no, no.......

^^ :1:

Thats probably why she was hitting him. Nice kill though. Hey what new Linkin park song???? Meteora was my last album.............................

maybe he is talking about the forte minor album.....

It could be LP, Shinoda said he wouldn't put LP to the side to work on Fort Minor, and I've heard they are doing a new album, plus another remix album.

No I have fort minor, LP JZ, Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, Meteora, that songs not on any of those.............................

The song isnt on any of those, it's called qwerty and they released it on august 6th, they have been playing it at some concerts to promote the new CD coming january or february.

I'd consider it a kill, but the guy more or less probably didn't wanna endanger his girlfriend through the turn. Sounds like an interesting night nonetheless.

It was probably a 1000cc (1 liter) bike. They don't have a lot of torque like the RX-8 does, because their engine is so small. So I can believe that he beat him to about 90mph, anything above that and the bike probably would have started inching on him.

My friend raced a GSXR750 from a stop in his deisel truck and STOMPED him up to 120mph because he had soooo much torque. I bet the guy on the bike felt hella stupid.

Most 1000cc sport bikes run 11 second 1/4's with a good rider. A CBR1000rr, R1, GSX-R1000, etc would have NO problem with a RX-8.

Nah man, think about it. Their engine is so small, they have almost NO torque.
The RX-8 has gobs of torque ON DEMAND (N/A, all he has to to is stomp the gas and instant toruqe. Not like that turbocharger shit that takes ages to get torque) so he just rockets past the bike. The only advantage the bike has is weight, which really is not that important and the RX-8 does not weight much more than the bike anyways.

Trust me dude, I'm an engineer at Caltech. I know what I'm talking about. I've spent 3 years researching this topic. What do you do? Oh yeah, get dummy retarded with ecstasy...

Are you drunk or just trying to yank our chains??

That whole post was almost sig worthy. :rofl:

You guys were sitting a red light, in the left turn lanes... you took off and got up to 50mph before you made the turn?

Is it me, or does that sound oddly weird... or is this a huge intersection?

I'm not following you.

I agree....its a no brainer....think about it.....
rx-8= 200+hp 200lbs tq
liter bike=150hp 70lbs tq

:grinyes:

I typed it wrong, when I got out of the corner I was going 50+ and it gave me room to add some more lengths by the time I reached 90.

And yeah had the race kept going he wouldve got me by 110.

I think he ment the local Caltex service station, where he pumps gas and what not..............................
