Ok, so here is the story, i met a friend that i hadnt seen in a while. He said he totalled his r1, and now has a Ninjazx7r.
Well, i have seen him riding it around...and we went riding for the first time today. Well b4 we rode he wanted to take my bike for a quick spin..so i let him. HE told me...he brought this bike up in 2nd. witout using the clutch( its a cbr600f4i). He said he went up to about 8-9 rpm in 3rd gear....and dropped it down hard into second...and he said it came up, do you guys believe any of this?
he says he stunts and can do all sorts of tricks....but i never did think the 600 would come up like that?

 

I've never been able to bring up the front in 2nd gear, and believe me, I've tried. But maybe thats my size talking...

 

i've brought my front up a few inches ( i only know cause my bars got real light for a sec )on accident shifting hard from 1st to 2nd so i believe him

 

With the front shocks set all the way over to soft and the rear set hard it is very easy to pick it up in 2nd and ride as long as you would like to. I do stand ups all the time in 2nd, and starting to get in 3rd but not all that good yet. I didnt believe it either that a 600 would pull up in 2nd than a guy showed me how.

 

Mine pulls up in 2nd just throttling in a sit down wheelie, but I have a powerCommanderIII USB and -1+2 sprockets. It will try to come up in 4th if im racing but otherwise 3rd will clutch up in a staggered wheelie.

Ive got a little stunting under the belt though,

i did it again today going in a 1-2 shift even a little higher and im stock minus the slip on

 

yes...stock it will come up in front...many guys bounce it up in second.

 

I would have kicked his *** for doing a stunt on my bike, especially after he crashed his own. Just my 2 cents

 

yeah like did he ask if he could try a trick with it before he took off?

 

un fortunately no..he didnt tell me he was gonna trick it..i rarely trick it my self because i know it does slight damage or can do damage to ur forks, bike, etc...
