he wasn't even racing.

and why are you driving like an *** on a busy highway?
I have to agree with you. Bike didn't even look like it was racing. But it did look like it was racing in the beginning, and the FD got pulled away pretty well.

Looked as if the bike smoked you then just played with you alittle before slowing down for that car.

The speed is impressive and it's cool that you passed the bike, but it doesn't really look like an all out race. He definitely tried to show off by flying past you at first, bikes always do that. I also don't doubt that you could take him.

Nice video man!!

But like others said, he wasnt even trying. IF you were you punch it the moment he left your side, then that would be a good race and you would know who's really faster.

All you did was a ricer fly by lol, he was cruising in his lane. If his bike is a liter bike, thats a 10 second bike with amazing top end, i doubt you're gonna beat that. MAYBE run with it but not like the way the video shows.

As far as him slowing down so he doesnt have to confront you, idk, maybe he is scared.

people, did i say it was a race any where here? all i said is that i caught up and passed him. i guess i shouldve aimed the camera at my speedo the whole time so you couldve seen the speed. if you actually listen to the audio of that vid. you'll hear when i downshifted and seriously went after him. through the beginning up and till then, i was just screwing around. i jst posted this so everyone can see how quick the car is. no need to put down the vid or me . sorry if anyone actually gets upset over this.

To me that bikes looks like a gs500f suzuki. Just because it is a bike and has fairings don't assume its fast. If indeed it is that bike it weighs about 400 lbs dry and makes around 100 hp at the crank. Just for reference the gsxr600 weighs 360 dry and makes around 125 hp, and the gsxr1000 weighs 370 dry and has 180 hp at the crank.

I'm not trying to make a stab at you just making an observation.

I noticed that you weren't really on the throttle until you hit that straight away. As soon as you WOT you started to reel him in. but too bad that by the time you got close he hit the brakes. I personally think he was watching you get closer and closer and decided to save face...

Nah man, im not trying to put you down I know your car is fast and i enjoyed your previous video against the s2k but all im saying is that people get a bit excited and cocky when they have a fast car and "think" they beat a bike when they really didnt. I just wanted to clear that up here. I know your thread said you caught up and passed him but to the people viewing this thread, that doesnt mean you beat a bike. You literally caught up to him and passed him LOL.

Dude, the rider clearly let off the throttle and braked before you passed him. You can see his brake light.

Also, the bike is a 95-97 ZX-6r or ZX-9r. I had a ZX6r Hard to tell which one it is.

But, nice car, looks pretty fast.

Great video, nice to see some decent quality for a change. I think it is possible that you were catching hime before he backed off. If you were travelling at 140, then you might well have been. Seems to me that as soon as you hit it you were catching him, although not to the extent that the video suggests. By time you went passed him he had definitely started to break, but earlier my vote is that you were catching him.

Nice vid! How did you get the camera to stay there? That was an awesome shot though. Car sounds badass when you downshifted. He probably didn't catch back up to you because he knows the 7 CAN'T LOSE!

dont race a 1000cc bike, race a 600 from about 40-50 up. on my 05zx6r vs a 05r1 I get pulled about as hard as that supra pulled the bike in the vid above, liter bikes are rediculous. nice video though, car sounds good. also the caption below the screen for the video says you were at 9psi, thats pretty good. with my t61 at 14psi I think I would smoke a 600 by seat of the pants feel, but I have never raced a bike thats just going off of the fact that I have both.
