0-60 in 3.8s, good luck.

You need a brain before you need HP.

Dude, that 600 gixxer is throwing down over 100hp to the rear wheel, and only weighs about 400lbs soaking wet.

Needless to say, you are going to have to spend alot of money to get even close to his rocket. My yamaha R1 was rated to run low 10's right off the show room floor and 0-60mph in (i believe, can't remember for sure now) something like 3 seconds. Of course this was all yamaha's stats and with a professional rider aboard, but nonetheless it could do it.

HP to weight, you would need over 700HP to beat him in a sense.

Well, I didn't know exactly what it would take, but in equal comparison.

Your best bet would be from a roll and even then you'd need around 350 rwhp and up.

yes, from a roll bikes arent as fast as from low speeds or stops. I pulled on a gsxr750 when my car was running right from a 65mph roll. i did use brake boost though and it was close. ohh yeah, he had an extended rear swing arm and a wider rear wheel which i think slows them down up top.

My point exactly. Except that your motivation for building that car was a bit more serious than wanting to beat your brother's bike.
