I've never been beaten by a car!
At least that's what the guy said after we ran. I pulled in behind a red Honda this AM at a red light. No traffic ahead. When the light turned green he pulled away from the intersection somewhat aggressively. I stayed on his tail and when he moved into the center lane I pulled all the way into the left lane. He knew it was on. I watched him down shift twice and he was on it. I nailed it, nice hookup at about 40 mph and the 39 degree air started flowing into the S/C. By 80 I was pulling by him and continued to pull all the way up until we ran out of road about 1/2 mile down. I made a right turn at the next light and he pulled up and motioned for me to pull over. I did and rolled down my window and that's when he exclaimed that he had never lost to a car before, including several exotics and the new C6 Z06. His bike was debadged so I asked what it was. He said it was an 06 Honda Interceptor-not bad, no slouch. I thanked him for the comments and we went on our way. I love cold, crisp air!

'06 E55, '05 SLK55, a few others
Just burned what looked like a SV1000 Suzuki this past Saturday, and the guy said the same thing. Caught a light with him and he really didn't try full on drag strip launch, so he was back about 3-4 cars off the line up to about 70 and wasn't making up any ground when we had to get out of it for traffic. He was stunned and pissed, but felt a little better when I told him these things can and do break into the 11's stock.

211 E55(sold) & 80cc shifter kart
most guys on bikes can't ride, i've only been beat by 1 bike a R1 and the guy almost looped out when he hit second he panicked because i pulled 2-3 car lenghts off the start and i don't think he was ready to deal w/ that kind of action!! but he re grouped and passed me like i was standing still.
i've got atleast 5 kills against cbr 600's and one neck and neck(i won) against a gsr 750 I know the bikes are faster but its the riders most can't ride worth a ****.
good kill!

Sure...you just want to catch me when the IAT's are 100+. Man up and let's give it a go now!
Really, not until you're totally comfortable on the bike. I would hate to see you lay it down in my rear view mirror.

Any one of you want to race a bike here in SoCal I'll be more than happy to provide the bike side of the race and will garuntee (Money backed) that you will see nothing but tail lights. Bring the biggest badest stage whatever you like. In fact, I'll extend the invite to anything on 4 wheels.

On a straight, it is all about the rider. Very FEW riders can launch a 600/750 fast enough to walk an E55, but the bike is faster.

What bike? What road? You mean simply from a dig? I'll pass on that. If you mean on Palomar, I'll take the bet AND give you 2 to 1 odds. I'll even pay.

On a freeway or streight away, I'll give you a head start (as long as you don't cut me off ) and still walk you like your car is in reverse. LOL. That's a good one.lol.
Anyway, I won't take your money, cause I don't need it, but it'd be fun to lay this bike/car thing to rest. The only "car" that can possibly beat me is the aerial atom, and if that's what you're bringing then it'd be worth the loss just to see it.

Actually, I would love to meet up if you'd like. At Palomar, it is a one laner. I'm not so sure about the jump you think you'd get since there is no real straight. Given you start ahead of me, true you could keep me behind you since I don't make a habit of killing bikers (it wouldn't kill me being in a car with airbags). But, we could see how well I hang on to you or not? Also, I could lead and I will bet any amount (again 2 to 1 odds) that I will be out of your line of sight by the top (7 mile run).
On a straight, I won't argue as I have no idea how good of a launcher you are. I already concede that even a 600 driven properly should beat an E55, much less yours.
Either way, I'd love to work with you to lay this thing to rest. We can macho macho back and forth or just meet up for a friendly day?
