It was actually a very quick kill.....and easier than I expected on street radials...

We both hit it from about 10 mph while accelerating from a green light.
Stayed side by side while I peddled and my tires spun.
Then I hooked and walked away from him.

As soon as he was at my back bumper, he gave up and then I shut down.
The guy wouldn't even look at me later...

I guess I hurt his feelings.:biggrin:
 
Next to high doller exotic cars, bikes are the yummiest kills.:cool:

Not to bust your balls but the Ninja 650 isn't really a sportbike and barely has enough power to get out of its own way. I had one from '06 until this year (my wife had been riding it since I got my 'Busa in '08). The 650R is a great beginner bike but I'm not suprised that your 11 sec GN walked all over it.

Go pick on the 600 supersports, those will be a good run for you.
