it doesnt keep up with the bike at all. Dont get me wrong our cars are fast. But Nothing like a bike. Besides pretty much all 600's these days run 10's in stock form. A magazine got a all stock 05 cbr 600 to pull a 9 this last summer.

Ialmost bought a 999 this winter. But I do to many stunts. And i would fell really bad if i screwd up a ducati. But not that bad if i drop a honda. Nothing against hondas just they cost a lot less.

in actuality a Ducati is much more stable to do stunts with though, i can pretty much lay the bike on its side at a standstill with little effort, pull the front end up without the aid of the clutch or stressing the motor and i rarely need to put my foot down even when stopping for 3 or more seconds.

though they do have gobs of torque they lack the top end power of the japanese 4 cylinder bikes. even my '93 Gixxer would spank it in a race(with the exception of a mountain run ).

FDs can handle 600 no worries, they just need LS1s and a bit of the wacky sauce.

My buddy can destroy 600s, walk liter bikes, and only looses to moded liter bikes.

I dont know how to repond to this coment. Do you belive every thing that people say to you. their is no way on earth your buddys street driven rx7 runs 8 second quarters, which is what it would take to beat even a 600. let alone a modded liter bike. Most modded liter bike's i have had the privlage of riding run in the low 8's. Thats what hes saying it takes to beat him. Ha Ha Ha.........

P.S. I have a bridge I would like to sell you.... pm me if you interested

Cars vs. bikes is pretty pointless. You could have a car that can keep up with a liter bike from a roll, but A) it'll lose from a dig, BADLY, and B) you'll have spent a LOT more than you would have on a liter bike (MSRP on the '05 gixxer 1k is what, 10,799?). The only car I've eve seen beat a bike from a dig was Trent's Turbomustang, and that's a SERIOUS car.

btw sweet F4i, I'm partial to hondas, my friend (had) an '05 cbr600rr and it was a really nice bike.
