600 GSXR slower? not by much..

[Taz]

Anymore than 85HP is a waste anyway.

Hey guys so I heard about this awesome thing the other day it's called a variable.

What does this variable do?

you need around 120-130 with a fat midrange for a good roadbike.

Have you ever owned a big road bike? I don't mean "ridden my mates thou around the block man", I mean actually owned one for a few months.

Boring. Twist the throttle and go. No need to even change out of top.

Where's the challenge and fun in that..??

[wbks]

Your K8 puts out atleast 120!

105 ish at the rear wheel with a very linear power curve. The more you let it wind out the harder it goes. It is way more enjoyable to ride than the SV1000 i had before. Staying in top gear and just twisting the throttle got kind of boring.

And as a bonus the 600 is easier on petrol and rear tyres. I love it as a road bike in its own right.

And a lighter more nimble bike is more fun in those.

With a skilled rider on both bikes, the 1000 will always be faster.

There is a limit to how fast you can ride on the road before you wind up dead though, and either bike is more than capable of exceeding the sensible limit.

Most logical reply yet! You clearly don't belong on KB, you have far to much sense!

There's a challenge to riding on the road? If you want a challenge and think you are the man (which is sounds like you clearly are) take it to the track and show all the big boys how it is done

The only thing making a bike go fast is the rider.

Frosty on an old XJ900 would lead rides where guys on the latest machinery wouldn't feel slow.

Warr on a 1984 Yamaha FJ900 would keep guys like the legendary Loosebruce on gixxer thous in sight - not side by side - but in sight. Bruce was one of the fastest public riders in the country without a doubt.

Goblin on a piece of shit ZXR400 would keep up with guys on machines twice as fast.

Sujilite would turn up on a 1989 ZXR750 with dodgy forks and dissappear almost a minute infront of anyone.

Motoracer and Two Smoker on RG150's would overtake litre bikes on the outside of corners.

Yaya - I know your turbo, NOS Hayabusa can do 400kmph - Can you???

You ride cruisers or scooters right?

Go on come out.

It is ok.

Yes, riding a bike on the roads is a big challenge. And it doesn't have to involve 160 hp and 200 km/h + speeds.

Not everyone can afford to go to the track every time they want a bit of fun around the corners. And yea, try riding like you do on the track on the road, it's a "challenge". To stay alive. And yes I know you're a very good road racer, I'm just saying... What I just said
