I wouldnt buy a bike in FL cause Im soooo afraid some grey-hair wouldnt see me and would run my ass over without even blinking. Now maybe if I had somewhere with a lot of open curvey roads to play on...
Vortec: I raced a bike top end and hung with him...Ill be the first to admit it just doesnt sound right. Either my car has more top end than I thought (Ive never made a run at the track on race fuel and 20+ psi) or his bike fell on its face. Im more apt to believe his bike fell flat...and it doesnt hurt my feelings one bit if anyone else agrees with me.
Strangely enough...another bike owner told me his CBR 600 would keep up with a ZX-7 no problem BUT he also was under the impression that the CBR 600 would run 10.8-10.9 stock (and he works at a dealership!). Whats with these guys? Another friend of mine who drives a Vette says that 600s arent too big a problem for him on the run (by all accounts hes running high 12s on radials but hes never had it to the track) but anything bigger becomes a problem and from a dead stop bikes usually beat him.
