I know for sure that a dead stock 1998 900RR with 2 people on it can absolutely blow the doors off a 600hp Evo from a 70 mph roll on. My money's on the 636 by a long shot. Good luck, though.

wow. 2people on a bike racing. Now thats crazy.
Motorcycle has alot more drag than cars ( in general)
after about 100mph. I could only imagine with 2 people.
evos are really not top end cars from the go due to gearing I would say.
Motorcycle are like gods that walks on our world.
But, from time to time we mortals are able from a higher grounds
which some of us choose to climb and throw javelin at them.
There are alot of cars that can outrun bikes. I have owned one.
My old Z-car. with out race fuel it only dynoed in the high 500.
The acura is alot lighter, more aerodynamic, more balance you could not really compare the two cars. Night and day. 100hp less and I should be able to achieve the same goal.
at a 70 roll I would have my best chance.
I choose a stock 600 because by far the are the weakest. The honda 600rr I believe is the 2nd fastest from the manuafactor. A buddy of mine owns a bike shop. The orignal ninja we were orignally to use got sold before I could borrow it. I will try to post the video sometime this week.
You can judge it for yourself.

i've been riding crotchrockets for 20 years and am yet to find a car that can beat a bike off the line. no effin way the bike will lose.
on the second hand, a high hp car has a chance in roll-on race at speed above 100 mph.

phialpha i been to that track before thats indy i assume.
Yes sir it is! In the blessed Hoosier state!
I got the video.
just really havent had the time to upload it.
The camera we used was kinda old. the guy who videod
it did not have the usb cord that came along with the video camera. The race went well.
we ran from a 50 roll..
and then a 70 roll to like 150
I will hopefully have the video up this week.

If you guys don't stop this bickering, I am going to contact Lud and demand my membership fee be refunded!
that guy racing the bikes on the highway needs to learn how to hold the steering wheel with 2 hands
I guess you weren't looking for the right videos

Wow that bottom video is just F*&%ed up. The guy in the Supra gets on the gas and practically loses control of the car. Sideways into the bikers lane! If I was one of those guys on the bikes I'd be seriously Pi$$ed. That right there is exactly the kind of crap that gives this stuff a bad rep. I do my best to try to defend the more mature, level headed people on here doing highway pulls... but watching that makes it a little harder.
That wasn't even close. He had over 10 feet to spare before creaming the bike. The camera is pretty cheap too.
Are you joking? The guy went into the lane BEHIND the bikes and had the throttle hammered. If a bike would have let off for any reason they would've been run over. Watch starting at 47 seconds. He's getting the car sideways while the bikes are still RIGHT NEXT to him. Plus there was other traffic on the road, if anyone would have made a lane change that could have been a disaster. When I'm on here defending the guys doing these highway pulls, this is Exactly the OPPOSITE of what I'm talking about. I guess I'm the only one that sees this.
You might be able to take him. I took on my coworkers R6 (600cc) from a roll and beat him. I was putting about 450 whp at the time.

he had it undercontrol.
when you drive high powered cars like that, the corrections are automatic. it looks scarrier on the film than in person.
getting off the gas too qucik causes problems too.

Ron this really isn't debatable. He couldn't stay in his lane. that's pretty much the end of it.
Even though I wasn't there, I've learned that it's dangerous to stand around in the middle of a public highway at night in a cloud of smoke when there's oncoming traffic. I feel for the people and I'm sure they were good folks, but it wasn't the street racing that killed them.
The car that went thru the smoke, not spotting the people who were at the street races.
Wait, that means that street racing cased the multiple deaths :redface:
No street race, no participants and no spectators......... Street race causes deaths in more ways than one.
It wasn't a racing car careening out of control that killed them. People wanted to see two guys racing and then decided to stand in a lane of traffic on a road that wasn't closed. Whatever you want to watch, it's poor judgment to walk into the middle of a road, stay there, and then look away from the direction of oncoming traffic. If you get hit doing that, I don't think it's right to pass the buck and say it was the fault of the thing you were watching. It's your own fault and/or the fault of the person who hit you.
If the fault lies with the thing being watched, you could sue whatever distracted you if there was an accident. Like a hot chick walking on the sidewalk. But the link does become tenuous.
Edit: Forgetting about suing the chick on the sidewalk for being so hot that she distracted you and therefore caused an accident, what if it were an illegal activity that held your attention? What if you were crossing the street and saw some guy smoking crack on the sidewalk, were so fascinated that you stopped and stared, and when the light turned green you were hit by a car? Is the guy who was smoking the crack responsible for your accident? Is smoking crack in general responsible? No crack = no guy smoking crack on sidewalk = you're not distracted = no accident, so the government is actually responsible for the accident because they didn't keep crack off the streets? I don't agree with that line of reasoning and that apportionment of blame.
The two guys who floored it on the highway didn't harm anyone (but if they encouraged spectators to walk onto the highway after they had driven away then they contributed to harm being done). In my opinion, people need to take responsibility for their own decisions and if they decided to walk onto a public highway and stay there of their own free will, as brutal as it is, they are responsible for putting themselves into harm's way. That being said, it's still an awful tragedy.

How could I have been so wrong!?! You're right, street racing is perfectly acceptable!!!
Hey guys. That's fine. You're right. That street racing is bad stuff. Spectators all lined up on the sides of the road and stuff. That's just asking for something to happen. Luckily what the guys do here on prime, the little highway pulls and stuff... It's NOT THAT. So keep preaching about the evils of Street Racing all you want, as long as you can differentiate the difference between what was going on in that video, and what a guy in a porsche and an NSX will do on the way home from work, or on the way out to see friends on a friday night when they pull up next to each other on the highway.
Please explain to me the difference between innocent bystanders on the side of a street and unsuspecting commuters driving home on the highway, changing lanes, talking on the phone and going 50 or 80 mph slower than the racers.
It's all the same: Dangerous.
