Pulled up to the same light and revved it to let him hear the loud D&Dpipe......I didn't think he wanted any but he jumped the green and tucked down so I had to race him....Smoked him so bad I waited at least 10 to 20 seconds at the next light where we turned opposite ways. he said something to me at that pointbut I couldn't understand him......I am pretty sure he was acknowledging severe defeat!!!!! It was safe and FUN!!!!!! Damn my heart was pumping!!!!!

 

I was looking at a SV650 before I bought my F4. Glad I didn't. Good job.

 

They are nice bikes but they have nothing on a super sport. I bet he could ride further than you between fill ups and stretching

 

I'm sure it was fun....You have no way of making sure it's safe at speed.

Take it to a track.

 

wow...what a site that must've been...2 newbs racing on the street.

I bet it would've been exactly like watching 10 people play H O R S E instead of watching the NBA.

I'm so glad i missed it...take it to the track. the street isn't the place.

Damn......do you have shortmans complex or what?!?!?!?!?!

 

wow...what a great come back.
you must have slow man's complex to be street racing an SV.
learn to use the quote function.

 

Yes I am slow so thats why it felt good to whoop the SV! What bikes would be considered a good matchup with the F4? Katanas, YZF600's?

 

katanas? are you serious?

 

Sharpshooter....iwas just being a sarcastic yet funny *****.my point is that street racing is dangerous so be safe!!!
now if you are going to drag and do so SAFELY...this is what you should know:

as far as F4...it's pretty fast against the other bikes...just gotta make sure you get the launch down. other bikes (newer) may pull more in higher RPM range and higher speed, that's why you gotta focus on the launch to get the jump. most guys can't launch worth beans. our bikes may be down on HP but what the bike doesn't have, we can make up for in rider ability...something most don't have. the SV is a very fun bike but it's a twin so it runs out of RPMs much faster than the F4, but the newer bikes will pull. also, remember you can always changeyour gearing to make the bike accelerate faster.

for your f4 i would go with -1/+2 cause they are geared a bit soft from the factory.
don't race katanas cause they are heavy and bulbous...i've seen grandmas in wheel chairs go faster off the line...so it's not too great...beat guys in F4is, RRs, older R6 and you're stoked...beat gixxers even more stoked. beat the 05 and up bikes and you're golden!

got it? now next time i want to see this:

So it was 2am andthe street was completely empty and i saw an RR...and then i gave the friendly biker nod, but he wanted some...so we went at it and i launched hard...and i won.
