A young "P" plate rider on a 600 wanting to take me on, Hell how could i resist.
By he time i hit third doing 9500rpm he was in my mirror.
Not to bad for a old 92 girl

I did tell him

makes me laugh

While of course we would never condone irresponsible riding on the street, isn't it just so much fun, every so often, to shut down some pimply faced youth with a 24 year old bike.

 

Nothing like teaching younger ones is there, when he grows up he might be able to ride a big bike too! Can't wait to finish running in, I only just managed to drag off a van at the lights when coming home from the rebuild(can't rev too hard just yet)

 

Nice! School em!

 

What's been done Jarvid?

And yeah, sometimes a little irresponsibility aint a bad thing. What a cane's for.

 

P plate, what year is that?
A friend of mine rented a '05 CBR600RR, and hell did he own my old bike!

 

Henry, just spent over $2500 on a top end o/haul, wiseco big bore kit etc...Should be able to show them 600's, Stefan, ditch those pod filters and let the old girl breathe again, might help you keep up...

 

I have a stock cane 88 1000 model with just a gear change 16 on the front and 44 on the back sprocket. I have no problem with any 600's to date. I usually pull them off the line or a roll on by a length or 2. Hold that too about the end of second gear then once in 3rd start pulling away.

The toughest of the 600 bunch i am played around with was a 08 R6. The cane still came out on top. Funny thing is I did not start any of these events, but finished them. LOL all this with over 50k on her.

Even manged to stay a half a bike length ahead of a 02 TL 1000R.

 

I had a couple of 600's or 750's try to mess with me on my way home for lunch a few weeks ago(when I still had my WOT problem) and I easily put them in my mirror w/o going WOT.

What pi$$ed me off was how one of the riders decided to blow past me in my lane(I was crouched and concentrating on the road ahead). So after he blew by me I saw his buddy comming up fast, I dropped to 4th and let the hurricane loose. they stayed back untill I got to my exit. Mind you this is while not being able to go WOT, so a 600 should be no prob.

 

i havent had the chance to show anyone how the bike runs yet. to me it feels very strong, but no one has egged me on yet.
