95 Supercharged M3 vs Yamaha R1

[Darkness95M3]

Before any one tells me that this is BS. Please keep in mind anything is possible on the street.

I had to change the oil on the 540i and only having 4 ltrs of Mobil 1 oil on hand. Quick trip to Canadian Tire was warranted. Walking into my garage a decision had to be made, 540i or the M3. Since I had to change the oil on the 540i, M3 it is.
Leaving Canadian Tire with 16Ltrs of Mobil1 oil in the trunk dreading the thought going under the car and changing the oil. However this must be done.
Coming to a intersection and hoping to make it through before the light turns red. I don’t like to sit too long with engine at idle at a light with outside temperatures over 32c.
Waiting for the light to turn green I’m watching the oil temperature needle climbing.
Glancing to my right I notice a blue motorcycle with a female passenger approaching the intersection. The bike runs the red light and who can blame him I would not want to be sitting at a intersection with all of that heat coming from the engine. After a few more intersections I’m sitting right behind the R1 admiring the rear of the bike and my eyes are focused more on the rear of the passenger.
We both turn right and are heading in the same direction. Switching into the right lane I pull up besides the R1, the driver glances at me. Being a motorcycle rider myself I glance back at him and nod my head, he replies. We come to the first of many stop signs. Looking to my left and right with no traffic I proceeded through the intersection with the R1 by my side. Holding the M3 in 1st gear a lot longer then I should and shifting into 2nd, letting the bike pilot know that there is some serious stuff lurking under the hood. He glances over at the hood wondering what the F*** is under his hood. The noises coming from underneath sounds like a Hoover on steroids, with a loud whining sound that of a jet fighter. Followed by an overwhelming “Tornado” sound coming from the rear. He stops shifting his bike and holds her steady in 2nd. With a slight blip of the throttle the bike lurches forward.
Now I’m thinking to myself, being a motorcycle rider, the R1 is a very potent machine and is very wheelie prone in 1st, 2nd and sometimes in 3rd gear. My M3 is a very capable machine however it’s no match for the R1. Approaching the last stop sign before the 400’ entrance on the highway I thought if he is going straight why not.
To my delight he lined up beside me and his engine is revving higher then usual. Both he and the passenger are leaning forward. Exchanging glances we both nod and are anxiously waiting for the last vehicle to pass the intersection.
Glancing at my gauges all the needles are pointing in the right direction, click on my computer, everything reads fine. Both leaving the line at a slow roll, he is probably waiting for me to lead. Without hesitation I’m on WOT, the supercharger ramming air into the air hungry engine. I hear the R1 come to life, glancing into my right side view mirror I can see that the R1’s front wheel is of the ground. 5000 Rpm comes quickly I shift into 2nd the bike is now 1 car length back. 4000,4500,5000,5500,6000,6500,7000 shift into 3rd the bike is a good 2 or 3 car lengths back and not gaining any ground. Approaching to the entrance on the highway I glance in my rear view mirror with the bike still way back activating my flashers letting him know that I’m slowing down. Merging on to the highway the bike pulls up besides me honks his horn and proceeds to go on his merry way.

Now I know it’s hard to believe that I beat an R1, however the race was in my favor.
How? You may ask.
1) Extra weight for the bike.
2) This is the most important one. The R1 is very prone to wheelies and with more weight over the rear wheel by the passenger this has multiplied the condition. The rider could not use more then 40% of his throttle in 1st and 50 % of his 2nd gear. 3rd gear he might have been able to use about 75% of his throttle. If we got into 4th and with WOT he would have passed.

I usually hate traffic on the QEW especially on Sundays. This time I was delighted to see lot's of traffic.

Give me a break. What's your ZX10R got to do with my post.
Let me guess, if that was you on your bike with a passanger the outcome would have been different. I guess Kawasaki has finally got their suspension tweaked so well that under 100% throttle through the 1st and 2nd gear the front wheel won't leave the ground.
If the R1 had no passanger I would not even try to race him, it would be useless.

I won because he could not use full throttle due to the additional weight over his rear wheel. This made the bike wheelie prone.
To beat an R1 with a 3200 pound car on a highway you would have to be pushing well over 650RWHP. My car only produces 390RWHP.

if it was a good rider and someone on the back who knew what the were doing on the rear of the bike they still would smoke that car, sorry i have been on bikes all my life, even with me on the back of my buddy's r1 i dont see there being much of a chance. the r1 is potent but the zx10r will smoke the r1, been proven. i can usually even take the busas unless they are turbo'ed or nos equipped. i guess it depends on how heavy the rear rider was, if they were like 300lbs then yeah i can see this but a normal 150 lbs will not take that much away to slow the bike down that much. mybe he was just being careful. either way you beat it so...... but i would like to see a good rider on the bike is all im saying. sorry to come off wrong i just dont think that they were that good of riders. i race at jennings and have been on willow springs etc.... and just get well you know when people say they "beat a r1" you got to have some serious work done to do it with only one rider and still some work with 2 riders if they are good riders.

Hey, guess what. No one cares! Fuck you and your M3 owning troll ass. What in the world would make you think anyone here gives a dead rat's red ass about it? Get the fuck outta here, and take your BS elsewhere.

Yea, and after I changed my oil, I smoked the holy hell out of a low flying 747... now just to let you know, they're pretty slow off the line...

First of all, what makes you think I, my daughter or son don't own a Redline. The reson being on this site is to learn more about the Saturn Redline.
Second of all I have just as much right on this site as you do.


Why can't we all get along?
I know why, because you are still in dipers.

No, you just can't get the fact that Spooner owned you. And maybe an introduction would have been a more appropriate way to get yourself into the forums. "Hi, my name's Ted, I own an M3, was looking at a Redline for my kids, looking for feedback" is a lot better than "HOLY HOT DAMN, my hot shit M3 wasted an R1, and this is completely out of left field!"

Let's think about this logically here folks: if your first post is in the "Kills" section, you're a troll.
