Default FAO Motor bike peeps!?

What do GSXR-750 Go like? Just wondering how my car would compared to one from 50mph upwards As a guy down here is banging on about it and wants to have a play with a car. I would have loved to put my car agianst it but its just gone of the road today

0-70 he will fookin do you, no question

Above 70ish Hmm, tough call with a real 400bhp & 2wd

When my saph was 320bhp it was *almost* as quick as a ZX6RJ above 70

With 400bhp shouldn't be far off 750 pace.

For thrills and adrenalin I'd rather be on the GSXR tho

Just go see what happens and let us know.

Far easier and more fun than talking about it

I think you'd be done, like gurnE said he would defo do you off the lights then I got a feeling yuo'd be playing catch up for the rest of the run

I'm affraid he's going to waste you!

I dont think catch up is going to be an option.

My 15 year old VFR750 isn't a fast bike by any means.. and there aint many cars I cant whoop.

GSXR750 IS a fast bike.

Unless your mate rides like a fairy

the new GSXR 750's weigh about 165kg and have 142bhp so i imagine theyre pretty quick, decent bit quicker than my `97 GSXR 600

never ridden one or been in a 400bhp car so i cant comment too much.

Depends how old it is, if it's the new model (ie. within the last 3yrs-ish) then you will lose at any speed. If it's an SRAD model or earlier there won't be much in it above 90mph or so.......

ive been on the back of one of these

the new type with the throttle bodies and efi not carbs

i shit myself and vowed i woudl stick to cars in the interest of prolonging my life

i cant see many cars beating a GSXR 750 or above

they are very light for the power the the 1000 or maybe a 1100 is faster then the 1300 hyabusa but thats a straight line bike

Rhys 50-60 MPH is around 10,000 RPM in 1ST gear on a bike once he snatches second he will quite simply fuck off

On my GSXR 600 SRAD (carb'd engine) had a race with a 4.2 TVR Cerbera in the summer, nailed him off the lights, he pulled level at 110, and stayed level until he started pulling away at about 150-155mph!!

Fast car

after it was all over, quick thumb up n a flash of the lights by both parties and that was that

throw some greasy damp corners into it and it will become much much more interesting watch the bike wobble round like it needs stabilizers but in a stright line the bike should fook off fairly quickly, above 100 might start to reel him in
