So I just raced my brothers R6 from a highway roll I pulled out a bit but shifted he started to pull then after he shifted I was gone. i know he'll want a rematch but I don't know if he'll let me get it on film. I guess we'll see

KMO43

I love his bike it's sexy hoping he'll agree to a race on tape

BPacak

how long has he been riding?

KMO43

He took a course and has been riding for 2+ years now. But at 60mph how can you screw it up? I have another friend who may race me who has been riding for his whole life my bro and him raced and I think my bro won (newer bike) both R6s

He's only lost to me tonight

What year r6, It should trap 120 pretty easy if its anything newer then like 05

KMO43

I'm pretty sure it's a 03

This wouldnt be you right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2-M8MfdzyI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

KMO43

No. My brother and I have been talking about racing these all winter and after hockey last night on the drive home we did a highway roll 100km. I don't know what gear he was in or if that speed is ideal or not for a bike but I was ready in 3rd

KMO43

It says thats a stock SS/TC in that vid

03 or 05+ either way the R6 should flat out rape a stock turboed TC. R6 needs a driver mod bad.

KMO43

Yes I totally agree but I'm not a stock TC

In a cobalt you will need at least 550+whp to keep with a modern day 600 from a highway roll, I'm sorry but he can't ride. My first bike was a 04 r6 bone stock in which I went 10.95 @ 125, and another run trapped 130. A cobalt is not beating a modern day 600 cc sportbike. Your brother was most likely in third gear or something dumb like that. From 60 when I had that bike I could go 1st gear or 2nd.

KMO43

OK well I don't ride so I really don't know but how can you screw up a highway roll? Be in the right gear and hit it

Shortbus

Wrong gear, at 60 you should be in 1st or 2nd. Not tucking, bad shifting, letting off due to front end lifting, or just a plain scared/bad rider.

Here is a prime example of a good rider on a modern day 600 vs a cbora making 585.

KMO43

I didn't ask him if he was in the right gear we were side by side and he was ready we went at the same time maybe he short shifted I don't know I'll ask him tonight and see when we can do a rematch and film it. What would be the best speed for me to try?

m33pm33p

Put a guy 240 pounds or more, not a 140 pound guy on a r6 and they ain't that fast all of a sudden. Just sayin.

KMO43

He's 200-210lbs. I asked him yesterday if he wanted a rematch he said there was no point and he also said he doesn't think he could do anything else to get it to go faster.

Shortbus

LOL, still will trap 120 plus with a 200lb rider and put trains on modded and big turbo cobalts, plain and simple he's not the best rider.

KMO43

I'm talking to my friend who also has an R6 right now but I have to convince him to let me tape it and also to even race me

Shortbus

Do it from a 40 roll with the r6 starting in first gear.

KMO43

OK next time just did it from a dig and a 10km roll got killed both times

BPacak

i could probably do a 60 roll on my zx6r in 6th gear and beat my car

i beat a cbr600 once before i had a bike and felt so good about it, now im sure it was rider error.

VR09Sedan

Rider makes a huge difference. A general rule of thumb (if they can ride) is to have as much HP as the bike has CCs. So 600cc, you'd need around 600hp to STAND A CHANCE. There's always other variables in play, but this is a decent ballpark estimate to determine how a race will turn out (Usually ends in car rape )


I was referring to the stock turbo as in the K04 baby snail. You can't get enough power out of it to put up a decent challenge vs a bike.

Shortbus

Well said ^^^

Not quite that much. Paintballerr78 has a 480whp TC and when I went down to Bismarck, ND to get tuned he was taking down all kinds of 600's left right and center from a highway roll. There was a large group of them and were getting so mad every time he would beat one so they lined up one after another to try lol. It was pretty funny.
