never above 100mph but i mind holding back between lochgilphead and oban but other. fair play :smileys:
Love racing cars on the road. M3 is a challenge for the multi tbh in sheer 50+ acceleration, was no problem at all for my 1000 blade..smaller stuff like elise on twisty roads but a bike can more safely use all the road But tbh, love racing anything...
Had a fun run with a Nissan Skyline a few years back on the A272. I'd not long got the 999S back on the road after a four-year hiatus of being unable to run a bike, so I was very rusty. Took ages to put the guy down
Those new GTR's get off the line VERY well! I had a go with one on my 600rr, and it actually did me off the line up to like 40 or something IIRC.
Me and my mate had a race with an old AM Vantage (1970's one) both on our early 70's Z1's - took him either side at about 110-120mph. It was around 1982 and we were on the Humber Bridge He gave us a big thumbs up at the other side
GTR has launch control and lots of other toys never mind grip you can on,y dream of on a bike, but once a bike is moving it does pretty well
I have been told by someone that had bikes and GTR's, that a bike will not sit with a GTR. Depends on the pilots I suppose.
Really? Most litre bikes will hump a standard one to 100 and beyond. They're quick to 60, I mean they're quick full stop, but they are quick to 60. And completely un-involving to drive. Much easier to get off the line than a bike. As said above, I did one on a 600, would have been different if I'd buggered the launch. They use one as a pace car/safety car in bsb, and the thing is absolutely flat out when the stockers are barely moving.
There's a video online of a standard S1000RR keeping up with a 1500bhp GTR running on race fuel mate.. It blows away an 800bhp GTR.
