How's Max vs. Bike?

How's Max vs. Bike?
Did anybody race any kind of bike? if so what happened and what kinda bike was it?
One guy in my company has a Katana 600.
I dont expect to win but I wanna give him a run for his money.
Can we hang with japanese bikes? Not all of them are lightning fast. I have intake+Y.

you might not be able to take a jap sport bike, but i can take some harleys and a few dirtbikes too

I ran my YZF 600R against my friend's Z28 6-speed. My first time ever at the strip and he had loads of experience. I ran a 12.39@110.42 MPH to his 13.4@106. And that's with a bad launch (wheelspin > wheelie > wheelspin) and the YZF 600R is no where near the faster race rep 600's (R6, GSXR etc).
The guy in the Katana can have a bad launch, not shift optimally etc and still do a low to mid 13.

Harley's and other cruisers, fine go have some fun. Crotch rockets are a way different beast. Any stock modern sportbike(600+)will KILL a Max and just about anything else with 4 wheels. Amazing bang for the buck when you consider they usally cost way less than 10K!

Dude,
Even Harleys run low 14's in the quarter. You might be able to hang with a Ninja 250. Give up on this dream and learn to set realistic goals.

Buy a toyota supra TT and mod the F outta it before trying to race motorcycles. The YZF-600 and the Katana 600's are heavy as ***** and not as powerful as the CBR600, GSXR600 and the R6 trio. But still they run at least 13s even with a bad rider. The "faster" 600 cc trio do 11's consistenly and 10's with a professional rider. And 600 is the smallest of the sport bike group. Dont even think about the 750, 1000, 1100 and 1300 cc classes.

i wouldnt even waste the gas. plus if i had a jap sport bike i wouldnt want to race much, (if you fall u will die) but heres the upside, when racing off the line turn your car into his bike and knock him off. he falls, you win. although you might have about 2g's worth of body damage, but it depends how bad you want to win seriously though, unless he races a lot i wouldnt race him just for a safety factor, those things are scary as h*ll at high speeds

I have raced a few bikes and won. Not off the line of course...but on the highway. My roadkills are Yamaha R6 (stock), Yamaha R1 (modded), Suzuki GSX-R 750 (modded), Honda CBR600 (not-modded, but custom paint), Honda CBR900RR (stock), Honda Superhawk (dunno if it was modded or not). Most bikes can't accelerate that fast on the high end. My Max can. I also tried to run with a modded Hayabusa just for fun, but he backed off after he realized he couldn't shake me. I'm not saying I would have won that one, because he never even opened it up, but I was never loose from him. In this area, we have a lot of young people on bikes, so if you cruise around at night for a while, you are sure to race one.

Lets see. 7 second car against a stock production bike. Anything wrong with that picture? Stock production bike means it is totally street legal. There is no 7 sec car that can even think about driving on the street. Not only is there a problem with equipment (lights, horn, tags, inspection sticker, etc...), but also a drivability issue. That is comparing apples and oranges, kinda like comparing a crotch rocket to a Maxima. Or my stock Maxima against my 7 year old son on his Huffy (if he could only get his launch down without too much wheelspin...).

You're right about the cars being track-only cars. I've seen street legal cars doing 9 second runs, though. Most bikes won't break 10 seconds with professional drivers on them.

But hey, I'm not complaining because I need some entertainment every now and then.

Yeah, WTF. Any street car against a sport bike - never. never. never. I don't care what you're driving. If anyone here beat or even kept up with a modern day sport bike (even a 250), it must have had the worst rider in the world, or they weren't racing you.
Nightrider, what are you smoking, cuz I want some. A stock Hyabusa has 144 rear wheel horsepower, weighs 550lbs and goes 192mph. My guess is the Hyabusa must have been going the other way or something...

Geez you guys need to watch more racing vid's. I've seen a ton of ones of 10 second supras handing bikes their ***.
As far as Harleys go .... I thought those ran 15's. Could be wrong though, as I think I got that number from the TV, and not a racetrack.
