Default I got smoked!!!!

My buddy has a 2005 Gsxr 600 and i have my 06 F4i so i thought i should race him and see how the bike stacks up. The road was a little over a 1/4 mile so we said why not. Put it this way when i hit about 30 his lead was growing rapidly to the point when my powerband kicked in the lead was to great. he was about 2 lengths ahead when it happened. I stayed about the same behind him until his bike just over powered mine and ended up winning by 6 bike lengths. My bike is stock and his just has a two brothers slipon.Just thought id post my experience and to see if anyone else did some racing against some other makes.

your mid power should be better than his.you have to remember the start is everthing.once a guy gets a jump these two bike are so close in specs that thats all it takes.plus if you don't wind it out and power shift forget it a canatuna would be close?

I have no problem keeping up with my friend who rides an 05 750. My friend with the 05 600 I can pull on anyday, it's a riders race.
