I know it's wrong and I shouldn't have done it but I couldn't help myself.

First, I got the scalp of a Daytona 675 from a light that has a 1/4 mile straight after it. He kept up until about 60 mph and then started to fall back. Once he started getting behind he came off the gas. Nice...

Then later in the commute, some silly, silly man in an Audi RC8 decided to see if he could keep me from passing him. Tsk, tsk...

Overall, a successful ride home, I think.
 
I call BS on the Daytona. And there is no such thing as an Audi RC8. If you mean the R8, then I call BS on that too. If you mean the KTM RC8, then yep, I call BS on that too. Sorry! I love my FZ6, but its still an FZ6. :thumbup:

Sorry - R8 - whatever the new one is that all the wanker stock brokers drive.
And I really don't need validation from you. See my comment above - it's not necessarily all about power. However, I haven't run across a car (any car) that can keep up with a Fazer to 100.
 
I have to agree to an extent. I have been in much slower vehicles and taken drivers off the line. The more powerful vehicle will make up for it eventually but it is possible to out "drive" a more powerful vehicle.
 
Better rider normally wins. I can beat my squid friend on his r1 in a drag race.

If you think about it..... Whats the difference in 1/4 mile time??? Like .5 - .75 seconds???? if you have a half a second better rxn time and shift smoother, KABAM! winner winner chicken dinner
