the gixxer by about 4-5 car lengths... on about a mile straight away my top speed before I chicken out 147.

 

the f4i only made 90-95 hp as to where the 06 Gsxrs are at what like 125 or so for a bike thats a nice increase

 

plus the GSXr is newer more than likely less wear and tear. The weight of the person plays an effect too...so there are a lot of other stuff that plays a part here.

 

Ray Ray,
Please be careful. We have lost quite a few people from this forum lately. It is hard to hear about a rider going down permanently, but especially hard when they are from our family. One posted about riding at an excessive amount of speed, then he was gone. Going that fast is wreckless. You could kill yourself and/or others. Again, please keep it in check and be careful!

 

i agree with voodoochyl, and besides thats a no brainer race who would win.

 

My bike munches a GSX-R 750 on a regular basis, sometimes two depending on our riding group that day. Short of running on a track every sportbike out there will outdo the rider. Rider is what is important not B.S. specs put out by the company. Racing in a straight line is a waste of time for a 600cc bike. They are built to corner, that is where they show their stuff. If you are interested in straightline speed then get a hayabusa or ZX-14.

As far as highspeed riding I do it. I've been as fast as 160mph (with a corrected speedo) on my lowly F4i. You just need to pick your spots. Don't do it on busy highways, city streets, or roads with a lot of driveways or intersections (preferably none). Farm roads rock. There is no substitue for the racetrack though. If I wasn't cool with the idea that someday I may be killed or injured I would drive an SUV.

 

GSXR way quicker......by a long shot

 

crap, I didn't know it was a secret that the F4i is no longer the fastest 600 on the market

dammit

 

never was =S

 

cheap but effective, gear the f4i -1/+3 and wave bye bye to the fixxer
