ive heard that gixxer 750 is a fast bike, it will be close though....you also have to remember that the F4i is the little brother* in the backroads, so that may be a disadvantage even though it is a great all around sportbike.
*big brother is the RR


ps- just be careful and keep the rubber side down...dont get too outta hand, your not moto gp!

If you have some longer straight aways and he knows how to ride then you are goign to get it handed to you, That 750 Gixxer is fast. But if its mainly twisties and you got the skill than you have a chance.

You could beat that 750 in a drag if you're a better rider. If you're about equal in skill he'll win.

I've been riding for about a year...you could probably beat me on the back roads on a ninja 250. In a drag race, I feel I have a good feel for the clutch/gas balance and my launches can be fairly strong. Race him where there are plenty of turns.

I can hardly believe that no-one got self righteous and reminded him:
"Son, racing on the street is dangerous, stupid, and illegal."

I'm glad we dont' have anyone like that on this board. (sarcastic)

WHoop his A$$
Both of you come back safe. Check the road you plan to ride first for debris, etc.
