Hey all my friend just bought an 06 Hayabusa a couple weeks ago and he just told me last night he wants to race me. Do i stand a chance? he weighs 210 i weigh 260 i have an 06 1000RR both bikes are all stock. What do I do? I think ill tell him i want to start at about 50 MPH? What do you all think I should do? Do I even stand a snowballs chance in hell?

 

no

 

If you can get off the line a hell of alot better than he can you do but other than that he's going to pull hard on you.

 

He has the advantage in body weightby 50 lbs.
You have the advantage in bike weight by90 lbs.
Horsepower is about a draw.

Take it to the local drag strip and it should be a fun race.

 

It'll be close.Let us know who loses.

 

Race him ona track that has lots of curves and hairpin turns. The more curves the better for you. Unless he is a better rider.

 

The race will be held today. We will start from 0 and run them up to 140 MPH. 1 race only no retrys. I took the bike to the dragstrip last thursday and ran a 10.21@136.25MPH I can lunch damn near perfect so I think I can take him up to 140mph

 

no u wont

 

Nah man don't even do it, my buddy has a '05 Busa, I can get him in the curves but on a straight, Ican hold him off for a minute, but I'm weighing in at 175 and he's right around 200. But in the end, he always stretches me. Oh well can't win the all

 

i ran a 10.07@140 last fall-at 800' above sea level-maybe if ya had a 15-44 520 gearing combo i'd say yeah-phil
