    An R6 should be able to see off most cars. The help you need is to learn not to be crazy and then get a bigger bike if you still feel the need. In the meantime, try a few trackdays

    Oh, and welcome!

    Do a couple of track days and see if you still think you are fast.
    Serious question here, what makes you call the R6 "pitiful power?" And what are you trying to race against that might have a chance of coming close to it?

    I think I know what your problem might be.

    See if you can find a spud that is about the same diameter as your exhaust. Make sure it is a tight fit and then tap it home.

    That should protect you from your mates, the road, mad car drivers .... and yourself.

    What you need is Geen-o-Kleen. Evolution you can see. In the big economy size bottle. Add it to your petrol, you'll get where you're going in half the time.

    Ar... I see your problem. Is their cars setup for drags only? how about putting a corner or two in the mix?

    turbo your bike. oh wait, learn to ride an R6 first. don't drink and ride, and you're fucking lucky that your mates missus could get back on. riding with someone on the back is asking to bin it.

    Excuse me???
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
