[QUOTE="03cobratech, post: 2675135, member: 9953"] What everyone needs to keep in mind, is that sportbikes loose alot of their advantages against cars when racing from highway rolls. Sportbikes fall victim to aerodynamics at high speeds. Unless you are talking busa or zx-12. My 00 Gsxr 750 had all the boltons you could buy, if i'd be at my sweet spot in 1st or 2nd gear i'd run from a 500rwhp 03 cobra. But as you go higher and higher the race will become closer.. Also because these bikes typically rev to well over 10k rpm (not exactly sure about the zx-9) if the bike isnt in its powerband it could take a matter of seconds to start reaching full acceleration. I think thats the common problem riders run into when trying to race cars. When i first got my bike i ran into that problem once or twice and I got walked by some fast car, once i started racing while in my power band, i'd run away from some pretty fast cars.. Alot of riders dont worry about downshifting to the right gear before drag racing. Most guys dont buy sportbikes for drag racing.. I do though!!! You get alot more for your money in terms of acceleration then the cars :beer: Nice kill though... [/QUOTE]
