guy says to me the other day while talking about cbr 954's and 1000's

"neither one of them would make a good track bike"

how do i respond to that?

i think he's nuts personally, 600's are nimble, but so is my bike, they cant out corner me....am i nuts?

 

Id probably respond with a swift kick to the nuts and then take his wallet. but thats just me.

 

o and for a real answer. you dont respond with words. anyone can talk, if you want to make a point take him out to some twisties or a track and show em whos got ***** and whos got a big mouth. when i got my first girlfriend i realized that trying to talk sense into people is impossible.

 

lol good point. we're going on a sweet twistie ride tomorrow morning for the whole day. he'll have his track bike with him, i'll have my 954.

i will dust him and have that conversation with him again at our next stop.

 

While i do understand the point this guy is trying to make, saying they are not good trake bikes is just wrong. The 600's are generally a fair amount lighter and easier to flick around, thus making going fast on a track easier. The 54 is plenty light tho, the 1000's (other then the 08) are definatly heavier, and you have to have a more sensitive wrist in the corners. But to say they arent good track bikes i would disagree.

 

Sounds like another person who just doesn't qualify as "friend"

kick him to the curb and move on

He must ride a GSX-R?!! Tell him to do his research before speaking.

 

You guys are funny sometimes, but fyi if you look at most times at a track between a 1000 and a 600 there is usually less than a second apart from them so lets get back to the rider thats what makes a difference, but to let you know I tack my 954 and stomp 600's and by better riders get stomped by 600s but yes a 954 in a straight line will beat a 600, passed that and your are all rider but im sure youll hash it out

 

if u trust him let em take it around the track me and my boy swapped last week he was getting on me about buying the 954 and not getting another gsxr like everyone else after we are done he flat out said he would kill himself on my bike after a half hour of riding in some good turns so like the saying goes dont judge a book buy its cover i love mine and thats all that matters

 

Besides the crash, how did you perform compared to that 600?
