Killed an R6

[Daytona955i]

Usually I wouldn't race a bike, but this guy was begging it. After riding my bumper for about 2 miles I knew the pacing zone was coming up so I jumped on the gas and passed the guy in front of us. The R6 thought he could pull a wheely and blow by me at the same time. I think he thought I was just an Ion. After I pulled 2 car lengths ahead of him he bounced the front end down and got on it. At about a buck ten we ran out of road and I was still ahead. In a normal race he would have smoked me no doubt, but a kill is a kill.

Yeah...pretty sure the guy didn't know how to ride..'cause my '04 R6'd pull 10.5s in the 1/4...best I've managed with my 600RR has been 10.7..but still...14 second car...11 (being safe) second bike...

I hate to say dumb A** to all you non-believers, but I said the guy was pulling a wheely. He was more interested in showing off then racing. By the time he saw me pulling away and bounced the front end down I was already gone.

Okay..how fast were you going when he wheelied? Give me these estimated speeds and I can tell you how he had to pull up the wheelie and if it was fast enough how much he had the bike sprocketed to do so..I still bet I could pop up the front end and catch my own RL with a better driver than I in the seat.. and as a side note..you do not have to censor ass...

Simple way to show off and still show up cagers =

Drop to second and gun it with a 1 down 2 up from stock on a R6 will not only wheelie it'll *gasp* accelerate. Shift into third and it'll drop the front end back down as you'll be doing well over 100 by this point..if you want to embarass them more shift into fourth and even being sprocketed like that you'll still be doing higher than your average econoshitbox can do. Now..if the bike was stock and you're maxxing out each gear..figure this

Ion RL shift points - (Note..I have shift lights and thus do not look at the speedo...)
30(ish)
60(ish)
95(ish)
120-130(ish)
>>>>>

STOCK shift points for my 600RR
75
110 (taking it easy..)

and it still has four gears left..



I very much seriously doubt he was trying too damn hard..or else AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE he was NOT that good of a rider..you can still show off and beat cars..only thing you have to worry about is those heavily modded exotics and V8's...leave those for the turbo 'busas...

So before you go and call me a non-believer..I said what I believed in his riding abilities before you called us non-believers...

As a side note..when you sprocket down your bike like that..it also increases your accel for a slight loss in top end..(who really needs to go 170+ on a STREET bike?)..unless he had it geared out with something crazy like -1 with a 72 tooth rear sprocket...then it's only for stunting and his top speed'd be like..90, but it'd wheelie in ANY gear..

Its actually pretty easy to do a full throttle power wheelie on an R6 without flipping it. That and I got the stock 02 R6 to top out at 163. Just talking about sprockets. I havent ridden a 600RR though.

[Tibbett]

I know it's easy to do a power wheelie on a R6..I had a '04 'till an old lady backed over it..but that's another story. Just a 600 doesn't have the umph to power wheelie in 3rd...you'll either have to clutch or bounce it up..2nd they'll somewhat power wheelie, but not like they will in 1st..most 6 riders'll clutch it up in 2nd and ride it out to 3rd..If you've only ridden a stock '02..try an '03 up with the FI..it makes a WORLD of difference..

As another side note..top speed they clocked me with at the last top speed comp. was 176...on the Honda..I'm not even going to mention the Suzuki's top speed 'cause I'd have to admit that I wimped out 'cause I was running out of space/time...
