I used to have a GSX-600... short of the C63 being heavily modified, you won't be able to touch it...
Basic internet search shows the below.
1/4-mile: 10.39 sec. @ 135.0 mph
0-60 mph: 3.06 sec.
0-100 mph: 6.17 sec
That's straight up stock, the gixxer has a bit more power then the CBR 600RR (although that handles slightly better in the twisties). The Kawasaki ZX6R has the most power of the 3, and will go faster in a straight line..

If you run the older 600's in stock form you will win, by older I mean 90's and down.
I ran my stock 2006 GSX-R600 against a friend's stock C6Z06 and I would pull out slightly from a 60 roll, but had to break early due to traffic.

You'd need to do a roll on from very high speed (140ish) to have a chance against any modern 600, at that speed aero comes into the equation plus nerves both are advantages of your car (though lets be going closed course). Below that speed, you get w a l k e d. And don't even think about liter bikes....

2009 C63 with Eurocharged tune and charcoal delete
You're kidding right? By today's performance car standards our C63s are relatively fast but nowhere near the top of the food chain (i.e. 997 Turbo S/GT2, Z06/ZR1, Ferrari 458/599, Lambo 640/670, etc.). A serious modern sportbike is in a totally different league. Just check some modern road test results for 1/4 mile and 0-100 times. Not even remotely close. OK, maybe after 140+mph where the aero drag kills the bike you might keep up, but that's rather academic since you aren't going to ever see that happen in real life. You might as well be racing a sidewinder missile for how close you will keep it. If you're gonna race bikes I'd stick to Honda GoldWings, Harleys, and old CB 750 cafe racers.

as i said > 600cc or < 30mph roll, you have no chance in stock C63. A switzer GTR though, that will eat up everything.

I just got done racing a 600cbr,
We raced from 60 to about 140.
he pulled ahead until 80 where he was about 2 car lengths ahead.
i started reeling him in after 80, caught up to him at like 100-110, then passed him up really bad, like he hit a brick wall or something at aroudn 120, i was bus lengths ahead by 140.
He said he was going all out too, so rider was pretty decent, a good friend of mine.

Depending on the year. A early 2000's liter performance is simlar to a newer 600's performace.
Only way a C would have a chance is from a higher roll, and it would have to be a 600, or older 1000. And the 600 would have to be around 06-07, the new ones just get faster and faster.
Oh yeah, The C would need atleast a tune and headers.

A)-has never drag raced before
B)-underestimated his opponent
C)-was not a serious run since he didnt 60' that Gen2 Busa for cr*ap
D)-all of the above
An otherwise stock Gen2 Busa w full exhaust,tune&stock gearing w a skilled rider has gone 202mph at Maxton Mile. The FASTEST GTR to date at a standing mile has only gone 205mph. So what does that mean? A highly modded GTR eeks out 3mph more than a otherwise stock Busa. How bout a modded Busa? Forget it lol!!

Rumor has it, that there will be a couple bikes at the 11/20 MIR rental, if anyone is feeling froggy.
I used to race bikes when I was a bit younger. I had a 1987 Honda Hurricane 600cc, when they were the "IT" bike to have. Best I ran that little f@cker, was to an 11.87 at MIR years ago. The bike was mildly modded. It had a Kerker slip-on, and I think had some holes drilled in the airbox or some crap. Hell it was 20 years ago, since I was racing bikes.

B-O-R,that pic brings back fond memories of my wild drug induced youth in the 80s! I had a '85 Honda VF500 Interceptor when I was a junior in H.S. and thought it was the baddest around...until the damn Hurricane came out in '87. My meager 500 got soundly thrashed by that CBR,so I bought a new '87 GSXR-750 w my graduation money later that year
And I would NEVER think of running a 1k w my slow E63 lol!

Looks like the owner of this one, pulled all of the Hurricane stickers off of it and changed the paint scheme a bit too.Digital cameras didn't exist when I had that bike. I've got a great polaroid of it.
Seriously, I do.
Little bit of useless knowledge:
As you know, Honda's real name for the Hurricane was the CBR600F. After the release of the Hurricane, they were forced to go back to the CBR name, and drop the Hurricane moniker, for insurance reasons. Hurricanes were blacklisted by many insurance companies.
This is exactly what mine looked like:
