"Oh well, I'm justglad I can atleast ride this bike well enough to fend off every600 and 750,and Im not the WORST rider on the road. LOL"

Yeah great stories and all but start thinking about taking it to the track. Not trying to race everyone from light to light on the streets.


You would be surprised. At a drag track it is different. I have seen 600cc bikes smoke 1000cc bikes. Its knowing how to race not just twisting the throttle. Alot of people think there is no skill to drag racing. Ask anyone who has been to a track. It is not all that simple of a thing to do.

 

Honestly I have been in three races and they were all in this post, and all on Thursdays at "Bike Night" were I get caught up in the excitement.

This is my first street bike but I was into Mustangs before this and I had a 2000 GT that I S/C'd with all the basic bolt-ons and I ran that at the track. Just enough fun to know I wanted something faster(and cheaper to make fast LOL) And the nearest track is an hour away, each way, usually very crowded, so I dont go as often as I would like to.

I try to be responsible, drive normally, never pass on double yellow, etc. But in the rare circumstances were I line up next to another bike at a red light I dont think I'll ever let the oppurtunity pass...

 

True enough.......but the 1000 also had the gold forks......much easier to see than the 4 piston vs 6 piston calipers at speed.......also the 1000 is an 02.......the 03 looks just like an 04 which is different.......they have stacked headlights similar to a Hayubusa. The 750 is probably an 03 though. They are all hard to tell apart these days with out KNOWING what to look for.....used to be inverted forks mean liter bike.....but not anymore.
