clk55 v. gsxr600
this story is fictional
im driving north on the 5 w/ my gf, i see a bike getting on the freeway and accelerating a little faster than normal. i pull up next to him and he looks over, i downshift to 2nd (about 65). he hears it and floors it, i follow. i pulled about 2 lengths by 100 and kept pulling (i guess he quit cause there was traffic and a turn) i ended up hitting 140 before realizing that he is about 4 buslengths back.
we get to a straight and i see him pulling next to me and he motions "lets go again" with his finger, i downshift. then he points to a black crown vic and shakes his head. i pull closer to the car and see that its one of those old cop cars from an auction. i give him (biker dude) the thumbs up and motion with my hand to race. he shakes his head. i pull away. im cruising at about 75-80, the crown vic get off at an exit and i see the biker do a ricer
fly by. i floor it, he was way too far ahead for a real race but i pulled about 2 cars on the distance between us initially and after 130 i began to really reel him in. he took the next exit
i know for sure it was a suzuki gsxr600. my girlfriend rides and she confirmed.
btw,
i havent been posting many kill stories (ive had about 10 in the last month) b/c ive read others threatening people b/c of some arguments they get into and try to use the kill stories as a defence.
****in losers. those people need to be banned immediatly. STOP SNITCHIN
****IN COWARDS

Not another car vs bike kill.... I still dont get how these 11 second 1/4 mile bikes are losing to 13+ second cars. Slowest GSXR 600 I could find was 11.43 running at 125mph...

You guys must be running into a lot of crappy riders.
http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...e3e8330c1f.htm
Thats the unbeatable C6 Z06 and from a 2nd gear 50 mph roll does not pull and pass the bike until mid-top of 4th gear.
Good kill. A kill is a kill. As I have said before anything can happen on the streets.

The guy obviously could'nt ride the GSXR6!Bottomline.Not all riders are the same I'm sure you know!It takes ***** to ride hard! Ask me how I know!
But after my near life accident,I've been done with bikes now because of my family and losing my brother on his Hyabusa!
But like I said,a good rider on the baby GSXR6 and the N/A AMG is history!

Honestly man, not to flame here, but how does a car with circa 370 horsepower that weighs damn close to 4,000 pounds beat a circa 100 horsepower crotch rocket that weighs 300 pounds? Speaking in terms of physics, its damn impossible unless he gave it to you.

That's it.....I am gonna hunt some of these guys and settle this once and for all.
They are always ripping around here. I am sure one would love to try some from a roll races and I will try to snag it on video. I have said many many times before in the "Gosh bike kills" thread, I really think my E55 has no chance against most bullet bikes, but touring bikes and smaller ones I love to give it an honest try with.
Only one way to find out......my car may become infamous on Streetfire for "idiot in E55 thinks he can take my bullet bike" video, but I am willing to give one for the team.
Gimme a few weeks as I go out hunting.

That's why I used the term "circa", because I didn't care to look up the specs. It still weighs ten times that of the bike with nary 3 times the power.
I raced a whole group of bikes in my M5 at highway speeds from 80-130 and I was getting walked, and I know I can suck the paint off an NA 55 in it.
Like I said, not to flame, just seems completely impossible. Gixxers are rockets.

example, if i decide to put a modified airbox with k&ns, would it help at all??
im just curious, because somehow my dad wants to do a couple of upgrades to the 55

Great. . . Another batch of people calling a kill story poster a liar.
The fact is that he beat the bike. You can speculate why that is, but at least say "congrats" instead of "B.S."
If I had to guess what happened in the race, I would say that the bike driver probably had no clue, and thought he could win without wringing the crap out of his bike. Probably did not downshift into the optimal gear, and by the time that he hit his powerband, he was playing catch-up.
One thing people should remember about bikes. . . they are very quick from a stop (if properly driven), but that advantage gets less and less as speeds increase. At high speeds, it is all about aerodynamics and horsepower, with weight being less and less important with each MPH. In other words, a bike which runs a 12 second 1/4 mile will likely lose to a 13 second car in a high-speed freeway race.

Hey, been thinking bout this all day yesterday. First, sorry to the poster. Last thing I wanted was to call you a liar. Your story was great and I thank you for posting.
2nd....where can we get hard facts on what bullet bikes will do from a roll. We have millions of 1/4 mile numbers but do any of the major bike mags post 30-60 numbers or 30-100 or something.
That would be interesting to see.

What? Check video before posting comments like that... Bikes only slow down after 160-170MPH.... Again check Video of unbeatable C6Z06 that I am guessing in mid-top of 4th gear would be around 150-160 mph..
