I've raced tons of other new 600's and 1000's on my F3.

Here's the deal:

Straight lines, you'll stick with them until about 3rd or 4th gear.

Twisties are funny because it has so much to do with who is riding both bikes. There is only one bike in my city that has kept me behind them on curves and it was an 04 ZX-10 with a pipe and a 55 year old rider who can RIDE.

The F3 has such awesome midrange that it's pretty tough to get away from on the curves unless you can really ride or the F3 makes a mistake.

I'd take on any new 600 on the twisties anyday on my F3 and wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

 

Gixxer 650? huh? drugs are bad? :P

 

I ran a 05rr i think it was a 05 but he got me off the start but onceI hit 3rdI roasted him. Its funny when we came to a stop light,he told me it sounded like a indy car passing him and wanted to know whatI had on my F3I said stock with slip on, jet kit and its geared he couldnt beleave it. Now my uncle has a harley buell 1200 fireblade andI roasted him to but it took a minute because that thing is sick with the tourque, but as far as the RRI beleave we can beat them. Then again it couldve been him but we were both reving out each gearI even hit my rev limiter in 3rdI tend to do that I dont exactly know wich year it is but it had flames on it and he said they were the factory decals because i commented on the body work.

 

Stock RR's aren't losing to stock F3's anywhere on the planet with skilled riders.

 

If you're F3 has 106 hp,it's been cut 2mm . Wait,we had this discussion,didn't we?


On the street,it's more about who's sittin in the seat.Bikes are not like cars,where just about anyone can jump on them and go quick light-to-light.I bust folks all the time on my stock F2.Put my mom or sister on it,well,my bike won't make it down the driveway
