Raced a Yamaha R6 and beat me

[a_sesshoumaru]

I raced a yamaha R6 and beat me, i dont know if this was supposed to happen or not, he got like 3 bikes lenght from me, i saw him getting ahead from me everytime i changed gears, we raced from 3rd to 5th gear i had to stop first cause there was a curve ahead, you be the judge.

Shit,I'll give you some props for hanging with an R6.Those bikes are stout.

I have no idea what happned in the first video, but the second one was pretty good. I would call this a respectable death. R-6's arent a joke, there tough little bikes.

How much boost were u running, and were u on pump gas or racegas?

 

[Mike Morris]

Nice...

 

[a_sesshoumaru]

i was running 23psi on 97 octane gas with the MP T70

I'm surprised you were even that close, these little bikes are nasty as hell. good work.

 

[toy fanatic78]

And they sound awesome at their 18,500 rpm redline.

 

[wiseco7mgt]

Lucky you were smart enough to not do a standing start , they are missiles off the line.

 

[SupaMan]

You hung with him VERY well for it being a bike r6's are no joke.

Give yourself a pat on the back that was a great race!

Dude on the bike looks like a squid. I wouldn't have been surprised if you had won.

 

[a_sesshoumaru]

I thought i should i have won :biglaugh: , i belived the fast bike was the R1, i might give another try with him with a 0.96 exhaust housing. Maybe i would have better top end.

 

[toy fanatic78]

The R6 runs mid 11's in the 1/4,and top speed is ~165mph.That's quick for a 600.Yeah,the R1 is faster,but the R6 handles better (lighter,easier to throw around)Still respectable to hang with that bike.

Something's wrong, either the bike or the rider... He should've had gained some distance on you right from the beginning...

 

[Fuzz420]

Only thing i see wrong is the OP didnt have enough boost this time out

It would have been stock and an early model R6. I own a 07 r6 and things are not matching up... How much power do you think your planting to the ground? I could be wrong...

I raced one about 2 months ago on 19 lbs on my 1j, this guy wasn't pulling away from me very hard either, I didn't have a camera on me since I was driving back from a movie with my girl... I should of kicked her out and raced him again lol!

I dont know what year the bike it is, the guy is a friend of mine but i never asked what year it is, i could ask, i think i am putting around 500, never gone to the dyno cause i do my tunning, i was boosting 23psi with my T70 that day. But this was a 3rd gear up roll, maybe it helped me.

 

[Poodles]

How fast where you going to start in 3rd?

Yeah I guess it could be many things... How much the rider weighs, along with how much room you have to open up that turbo. But if your putting down 500's then I would say its about right.

good hang on 2nd vid bro. i'd feel pretty good to ever keep up with a bike let alone beat one(600cc & up)
