Well this isnt really a 'kill' cause my car would obviously loose to a tuned CBR600 straight-up, but I had fun so here goes:
So I was stopped at the last light comming out of Westbank the other day, and a beautifull Orange CBR600 with black deakled on flames stoppes by me...
I start revving my engine and I can see his glf on the back of his bike give him the thumbs up. lol It was on!
The perpindicular traffic lights go yellow... then red... i start revving it up... green! I launch it nice and easy, bam second i start WOT, third winding my FD right out! I look back at mid-4th gear and OMFG he's 3 lengths behind me?!!? He was gaining right as I had to slow down cause we where approaching a van in my lane... but I was amazed my car could do that... it was my first race in the FD too!!!! :O
not a word of a lie! The only thing I can think of is he was scared of dumping his glf at WOT on that death machine, so he didnt give it his all. lol

A bike's launch and up to the first 1/8 of a mile is where they really murder cars. A car has the advantage in top speed where wind resistance comes into play. So basically, yeah, he would've handed you your *** if the girl hadn't been on the back.

I raced a crotch rocket with the girlfriend on the back from ~30 mph to ~80 mph once. He started out a little behind but went WOT first. He pulled ahead for just an instant from the jump and we were even for a few seconds until I started pulling pretty good and he gave up. I got a thumbs up and a smile from the girlfriend at the next light. Just the extra weight of the girlfriend makes a big difference on a bike not even counting the extra caution.
