[QUOTE="Mike50, post: 11522260, member: 131797"] I rode rockets for about ten years. My last one was a 2002 Honda CBR954RR, which was a MONSTER ten years ago, and would be considered "meh" today. I know enough about bikes to know that you need to have some ridiculous HP in a typical sized car to stand a chance against a liter bike. I won't say you are lying. It's more likely that that guy just doesn't know how to ride. It's amazing how many people don't understand gearing and RPM. The difference between gunning it in third versus fourth is probably an even bigger deal on a bike than it is in a car. Some of these newer bikes are redlining at ~17,000 RPM, at least the 600's are. I am pretty sure a 2011 R1 is capable of high 9's in the quarter (with a pro, of course). Straight line launching from a roll should be a piece of cake against almost anything else on the road, even for someone who is not the best rider. [/QUOTE]
