How fast can a modern 600 do a 1/4 mile time these days? Under 10 seconds?? say with a Pro drag racer on board? Who was that guy Pee Wee someone that use to do the times for the US mags? Don't seem to see times posted much anymore do you?

Most modern 600's will do it in the high 10 second bracket with a top drag racer... Most 1000's in the low 10's high 9's.... Have seen at ZX-10R with a top drag racer, tied down rear suspension and a full Akrapovic system do low 9's....Originally Posted by gav
Me on a 600, be happy with anything under 12....

CBR6RR has done a 10.68s 1/4 setting the record ever for a 600 for Cycle World - beating the other bikes. So a sub ten is unlikely standard. This was even against the 636 - foregoing 36 xtra cc's. Also beating the Gixxer (not really a mean feat I know).
Here are some charts for you:

You would want strapped front suspension - with rear only - the thing would throw you off in a second. They will usually lower the bike as well at the front seeing the aren't going to turn

So by playing around and lowering the bike as much as possible you don't think its possible to go under 10 sec on a 600?

Umm no. You would be able to launch hell quicker tho......don't know if you could pick up over 1/2 a sec tho

Interesting stuff, and shows how unreliable some figures can be. The test of the 2002 RSV and RSVR. The exact same engine in both...just one is 7kgs lighter and has carbon fibre and ohlins; but the times are well off each other. Do you think they 'wanted' people to fork out more for the RSVR? And all the marketing 'hype' for the engine upgrade in 2003 and no real change in the performance (over 1/4 mile), almost getting worse.

I read in a recent UK biker mag that the 636 (interested cos that's what I get to ride) did the quarter in 11.4 @ 128.somethingorother. This was the bike mag doing it, so don't know if there's room for improvement. The ZX10 was early 10s and somewhere around 140mph.. I'll have to get the mag and read it properly. Also said they got 160mph (~270kph) from the 636 and 180mph (~300kph) from the 10.. not bad goin..
anyhoo, to me, I would have thought lowering the front and stiffening the back would help on a drag, but saying that, I don't think the bike is going to give you much warning before you see too much sky, then upside down earth..

Well guys, HISTORY IS MADE!!!!
Today, in Palmdale, California, WITH A 25 MPH HEAD/CROSS WIND, in front of all the Cycle World editors and representatives of Ducati, Honda, Triunph, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha, Rickey Gadsen does the impossible.In a test for Cycle World for the best Middle Weight bike out, Dragracing has now experienced it's first BONE STOCK 9 second 600 pass..... Or passes!!! Guess what....... It wasn't on a Kawasaki. The Yamaha R6, ran a BLISTERING 9.93@135mph, backed up by a 9.98@135mph. The numbers were.....
1.54 60'
4.17 330'
111mph 1/8mi.
9.93@135mph
NOTE, these bikes are the dictionary definition of stock. NO WEIGHT, stock pipes, -1 front sprocket, lowered, no race gas or motor work, and THAT'S IT!!!!
The test bikes included the Ducati 749, Triumph 650, Honda CBR 600RR, Suzuki GSXR 600, Kawasaki ZX-6R, and Yamaha R6. The test started with ALL the bikes at stock height. The Ducati went 10.71@127mph. The Triumph went 10.60@129mph( ). The Honda went 10.42@130mph. The Suzuki went 10.39@128mph. The Yamaha went 10.36@132. And last but not least, the Kawasaki went 10.34@132mph. What is the fastest you've ever seen a stock height 600 go??? i guarantee it isn't three tenths of those #'s!!!
They then decided to take the two fastest bikes and lower them. That was the Yamaha and the Kawasaki. The Suzuki was down on horsepower and had the second to lowest mph with near flawless passes, while the Kawi and the Yamaha were the only two bike that he could not keep on the ground in first gear. These factors are what made the Kawi and the Yamaha the chosen bikes.
With 2" ground clearance, the first pass for the Kawasaki was a 10.16, with a 1.55 60', but the shock was hitting the swingarm so they had to raise it back up. Then, 4 passes later, with a 1.58 60' and a 4.27 330', the Kawi went 10.02@135mph. The first pass for the Yamaha was 10.12. Then 3 passes later, with a 1.55 60' and a 4.23 330', the Yamaha went 9.98@135mph. Them came back and went a 1.54 60' and a 4.17 330', and went 9.93@135.
Now, this is getting Crazy!!!! I honestly can't believe that a stock 600 went 9's. I wish there was still a 600ss class. If these bikes were setup S/S legally, they will go 9.50's easy!!!!
Stay tuned fellas, Rickey G will go to Cali next month to test ALL the new 1000's!!!! THAT should be interesting!!!!
