[QUOTE="samshady, post: 13064516, member: 136449"] First of all good kill to the OP a win is a win. Second that is an 01 as stated by a few others it is FI not carburated it is also the first major redesign of the GSXR since the SRAD of the 90s when they cut the engine size from 1100 to 1000ccs. I have a hard time from quality of the picture but the swingarm may be stretched looks like add on plates not a new extended swingarm. The rider is wearing a Suzuki riding jacket from the fit I would say Joe Rocket textile. The bike doesn't appear to be lowered in my opinion. Never the less if the rider didn't know what kind of car that was at 110mph he was probably in 4th gear maybe 3rd. That bike was capable of 125ish in 2nd at redline. So if he didn't respect the car and was possibly 2 gears higher than he should have been sure the car could have beaten a liter bike at a roll. That being said my 05 GSXR 1000 rated at 160-165hp big deal 25 more hp? Remember we are talking about bikes that weigh less than 400lbs not 3000+ lb cars. 25 hp is a lot when you're looking at power to weight ratios like that.
