sad day because i was



slow!!!!!!

i was on a good road, lots of twisties, i was having a fast blast
in my mirror i saw lights,

very quickly i then saw-- R1

then i saw the exhausts, heard the rumble

and he was gone.

how fast are those crossplane crank R1's???????
the kid also knew how to ride it too, cos i wasnt hanging around.

oh well.

 

i comment on one of your threads, might as well the other...

those are actually one of my fav bikes wiki says it has around 180hp to the crank and around 150hp to the wheel

 

thanks for the replys,

yeah they are a great bike no question, but it was the speed in which he caught up, passed and well, disappeared.

and honestly, i was not riding slow....

 

haha go hard or go home right =P

 

It is also your set-up too(tires, suspension, mods). I have a F23 600 and modded everything from the suspension and motor. It is also talent a rider might have, working with what you got as a combination too. I am able to use my ability and mods to catch and pass most on the twisties. Just they have a fastbike, doesn't make them fast. I would really like a R1, I love those bikes. But don't want my friends to peel me off of a tree. My buddy has pretty much stock R1 with 165 to the rear wheel.

 

:-( iUnderstand. the new R1 and a track rider on the street is devastating. Been in a similar situation b4

 

ha ha i was going hard, and after the smoking i did go home
My bike is set up for fast road, its got the right tyres, and is balanced for me, but what can i do when a 160bhp at the wheel with quality rider makes me look like im going backwards??

 

This sounds very very sad. Poor baby.

 

If you weren't racing him/her, why would it matter? sounds like you realize they have better equipment and/or skills. Figure out which one will benefit you the most and upgrade.

 

Too true. Play the long game.
