FD vs CBR600RR
Ok, I know this is not a kill, but a nice death anyways, and is worth mentioning I guess.
I was on the highway tonight heading home when I noticed a single headlight coming up to my right. He weaved through some traffic and finally settling down by my side matching my speed doing 70 mph. He looked over and assumed race formation. I quickly downshifted to 3rd without second thought and I got the jump on him by a second thinking it would be fair. As I redline 3rd @ 8K, I threw down 4th and by then, he had gained his lost ground and his tail is by my nose. By the time I was in the middle of 4th, he left off, about 1.5 bike length ahead. I quickly slowed down and he gave me the thumbs up and we continued to cruise at speed limit the rest of the way until I exited off for home. It was a nice run nonetheless. It was dark, so all I can see is a blue bike with an exhaust tugged underneath the seat. I believe it is a CBR600RR because I think an R1 would have rapped me badly. My PFC tonoight reads .93 bar as its highest. Mods in my sig.

The Cause of Death
Good run bro, bikes are fast. IMO if you would've taken it a bit faster, maybe upwards of 120-130 aerodynamics would've been a factor for him and you may have gotten back some lost ground.
Either way nice race, good story, glad no one got hurt.

cbr600's are just as fast as gsxr750. I ran a gsxr600 on low boost and beat him. then ran a cbr600 and lost by inches so yeah they are one of the fastest 600's out there. But for your mods you didnt do so bad
