Stu.H what spec is the zvh ?

thundercats arent particularly fast bikes mind, they have a detuned yamaha r6 engine, having said that theyre not slow by a long shot.

My 220BHP, 2 up vs my mate on his R6:

you didnt stand a chance with that bike John, pinned throttle on even a 600cc bike will have your ass handed to you in most things ha ha
a 400cc on CBR RR will have a std cossie on the quarter, and stock litre bikes will do 10sec quarters. What bhp and box you got Stu? You should fair better against the old thundercat as its not so racey

Yeah I know Probably kill me down the back roads as well!!

Add another 80BHP to my car [like Stu'd] and slow the R6 downa bit [Thundercat] and it'd be much closer though!!

Ahh, now, the problem here you see is that you have a shonky old 4x4

If you had a PROPPER cossie, ie 2wd , with your power, 600's would be chicken feed in a sraight line, 750's would be more on par

1000's will still make you look silly whatever you drive unless you have 500+ though

I know some one of here who believes a 4 or near 500bhp 2w/d Cossie would lick an R1 from 70 mph to 150 in a straight line race
