THERE IS ONLY 1 WAY TO SETTLE THIS!
I'll meet you up with my CBR600 (which is a bit slower than the G6) and we'll put this to the test should be fun. Give me a week or so to change up my chain and sprockets after the long winter storage. |

Im down! But, my video of me v.s my friend on his gixxer 600 will show you guys what kind of driver he is based on his shifting points and what not, and I'll have this video posted before your ready to meet up. So after you view my video, see if your either similar to his riding style, or better. If your better, then we'll meet up, because riverside and OC are kinda far, so I want it to count.

I told my friend that he must be doing something wrong or whatever. He said, "theres nothing to do wrong, you just pin the throttle and shift. . . I even waited till 15k RPM's before I shifted each time."

I know the math doesn't add up when gixxer 600's do 10's- 10.5's in the 1/4 mile at over 120 mph, versus the best 335 that's done like what? . . . 11.something at like 112-118?
So honestly, I dont know whats up. But like I keep saying, just wait for my video and then see what he must be doing wrong, or whatever.

You just need to get a crazy driver on the bike that knows it well enough or isn't scared to give it (close to) full throttle.
I bet your buddy is just going easy on it. Having a 750cc Ninja I can say it took me a long time before I felt comfortable going 100% throttle (and I even have a 4" extended swing arm and lowering plates!) Having said that... I know the bike should win from and to any speed... especially a gsx-r.

I have no doubt that you are telling the truth and possibly did beat him to the 1/4 mile. The only other possible explination is that your buddy is not really good at taking off the line. The bike does not pick up any power until about 6k RMP and should go to about 14,000rpm...shifting fast between gears is the easy part.
Does he just gently engage the clutch when starting, or does he let it slip a bit, then pop it out (along w/ the front wheel). All this could be the difference between a 13 sec 1/4 and 10.5sec 1/4... This should be an awsome video

I believe you Boost (know you wouldn't waste time lying), but I think that it could be your bud's skill that's holding him back.

I'm not doubting Boost either - no reason to make this up. I think maybe his friends bike is way out of tune. Those motors need a little more attention than the average BMW. They're a little, shall we say....high strung?
BTW, your friend isn't some 600lb sumo wrestler is he? That could explain it

yeah, on my bike, being a '07 Triumph 675 I get 1/4 times in the high 10 second range. How you can beat that guy on his GSXR600 sure blows me away. I've beaten every Lambo & Ferrari I've raced againest on my bike. How you've beaten one with your car is beyond me.

I mean, you cant have the balls to flee from cops multiple times (each time he said he was quivering and bone chillingly scared once he actually got home or somewhere safe) if your not an experienced rider, right? And he's not a bull sh*ter, this guy is smart, sharp, and a very good friend of mine. I really do trust him But you guys could be right, he probably isnt jamming the throttle as much as he could be or something.

Hopefully in the day time, windows up so all you hear isnt the wind, and with a decent vid cam (not that it matters, since I'll be using photobucket and youtube to upload them, which will cause the quality to suffer anyway), with about 2-3 runs from a first gear roll. Toll roads sound good as far as the location goes

Boost just to give you a rough idea of how quickly he should be moving, check out some youtube videos or streetfire. Here's one against an Evo. Guy gets a huge start and the guy on the bike catches up pretty quick and takes off.

you've got some 'cred around here so i don't think you're making it up, but i can tell you if that's the case, then your friend can't ride for shiet... and i don't doubt your 335 is fast, but i've absolutely, completely, DESTROYED a couple of ferrari F430's, M6 and M5 (at the same time, man i wish i got that on video... i came across the two of them playing around, and we all ended up racing up sunset from PCH) you name it (besides a veyron) i've seen it, come across it, and if it was exotic enough for me to risk getting hauled off to jail, i took 'em for a walk...
i can hit just shy of 80MPH in FIRST GEAR... there is no way a 335 is keeping up or take out a crotchrocket... |
