Not with me on the cbr.

The Kawasaki's are 636cc quite a difference in displacement, they are considered the cheater bike of the "600" class.

Think they push 5-10 more hp, but not exactly sure. And its all driver too. My buddy rides a 636 and falls behind.

I know mine should be a lil faster than theirs. I'm new to the bike I bought mine in July. I'm still learning. I was afraid my bike will jump up and fall on me when I raced with those guy. I need to learn how to launch. Hey bushmasterAR15 do you hold the clutch when you shift up or down? My friends said I don't need to and it also make your clutch last longer, is that true? I tried to shift mine without holding the clutch but it was kinda hard to shift. Mine is 05 cbr 600rr.

Yea I use the clutch. I tried not to a few times and it didnt want to go in gear which should tell you its not normal. As for it making the clutch last, nahh. In fact its prolly worse for the tranny which is ALOT more expensive than a clutch. Im not sure what you would gain from clutchless shifting, just practice fast smooth shifting. I can shift very fast with the clutch hardly letting off the gas, and my bike thanks me for it.
