I am simply noting what I just observed. Not to continue or start any new arguments, but if we have trolls in here its best to know who they are.
People having multiple screen names is a seperate and unrelated issue, independant of this thread.

RE: How can I beat an R1
Back to the topic....
I have a 03-954 and my buddy has a 04-R1. He cant even come close to keeping up to me, until a long straight highway comes along. It all comes down to two things.
1. How good each rider actually is.
2. How much road are you using to race.
I have 17 years of riding under my belt and my buddy has 2 years and he still can figure why he cant keep up. When we are on the highway or a really long straight he gradually catches up but it takes him a while, he never blows by me but does slowly creep up. So riding experience is where its at. If you have the skillz you and your bike can do amazing things. I am not saying I am a the best rider known to man but I am saying I can out ride my friend and his 04-R1.

I already made a peace offering, but apparently YOU wish to continue this. Can I ask why? I already said lets drop this and move on before it gets out of hand, so for what reason do you insist on making it worse?
One more time I will remind you that there was no argument until you decided to start **** with me because my opinion wasn't what you wanted to hear.
Now in the interest of keeping peace, lets just drop this stupidity now and move on.

Very good points made. Keep in mind that your 954 has a bit more HP stock (5 to 10 more depending on the bikes/dyno), and a little less weight (about 10 lbs less) giving you a slightly better HP/weight ratio than the 929. And as you said, your experience is superior. If he can't keep up until a straight road, then he isn't nearly as skilled as you in the turns. A straight line only race could be a different story, but that removes alot of the skill factor.
I would be interested to see the results if you and your buddy swapped bikes for a race, you would probably win on either bike.
Given riders of equal skill and experience do you think a 929 can beat an R-1 without power adders or mods?

RE: How can I beat an R1
WELL FROM THE JUMP I CAN GET HIM ON THE TAKE OFF BUT WHEN WE REACH ABOUT 130 HE PULLS ON ME ABOUT 2 BIKES, BUT WHEN I GO INTO A TURN HE CANT KEEP UP. i KNOW THAT I HAVE A 929 BUT AT SPEEDS OF 150 ON UP IM RIGHT ON HIS *** SO IT WOULDNT TAKE MUCH TO SMOKE HIM REALLY.AND FOR WEEBLE YOU PROBABLY NEVER EVEN HAD YOUR BIKE OVER 100 LET ALONE RACED ANYONE WITH SKILL. I HAVE 11 YEARS OF RIDING UNDER MY BELT AND IF ANYONE OF YOU GUYS REALLY RIDE YOUR 929 LIKE THAT YOU WOULDNT BE SAYING ITS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I KNOW IT ISNT.
