Was out with my mate earlier (he has a rs500 cosworth) and we were coming home just about to turn off the ringroad when a motorbike (r6) pulls up next to him revving it up and generally acting like a nutter wanting to play.
My missus asked "Do you get that alot?" and my mate said "All the time"

Suprised me as everytime i have been out with him in it bikers always wanna play!, do any of you other cossie owners get it?

CheeRS Statey.

 

yer mate when my saph was road legal i had it all the time, although if i did bite i always tried to do it from a rolling start otherwise we obviously have no chance haha

 

Lol, only problem with his cossie is its sooooo Laggy (think its a T4?)
BUT jesus when it comes on boost its brutal!

 

Yer the bikers dont understand how fast cossies are. Well up to 140anyway then crawl to 155 tops haha. On a private road though

 

Big bikes are silly quick if you want to be playing with the big bikes you need 600bhp 4x4 and around 550rwd and you will only be sticking with them not beating them

Different league IMO!

 

True true but u cant stick to the back of some bikes, obviouslly not the big power ones, 300bhp is more than enough for this, but obviously depends on the bike in front of u

it all depends on rider/driver who has the biggest balls in most cases. u'll also find cars tend to brake better as the have more rubber on the road.

 

True mate, this Cossie is 550bhp but detuned to 450bhp for reliability, your old man mapped it Jimbo

 

Ah nice one who's car is it? 550 is optimistic for a t4 mind!

 

Surely a bike weighs so much less than a car so it wouldnt matter if it only had 2 wheels?

 

Is it? I though they were maxxed out at 580 (but thats probably with pretty much every internal changed and uprated)

 

Ah right thats all he told me, the car belongs to my mate Stuart f, black rs500, not sure if u know/remember the car

Certainly goes well.

 

I got a 4x4saph and a r1 there is a lot of people that under estimate the power of a bike truly awesome but I have to admit wen out on bike I do go looking for cossies for a tear up can't beat the sight of a saph on full boost with it's arse squAtting on the deck cossies get a lot of respect in the biking world to as there always clean and up for a bit of fun .but have to say not lost a race against one yet would love to meet one one on a ride out that destroys the r1 that would be unreal

 

You would need a serious car to beat the likes of an R1 lol

 

lol never is that an r1, i raced one few weeks ago and only beat it by a bit with 750 ish bhp rwd supra, upto 110 ish we were neck and neck.

im confident thats a 600cc or the guy aint trying.

 

they certainly are jimbo, an r1 would of made my old 470 hp t4 saph look very silly tbh lol

 

Yes an R1 is a beast bud, this cossie has had a play with a couple of my mates 600s, and they were about the same, so a r1 is abit outta the question

 

we've done a couple at the 545 Mark and that's it tbh

Don't remember it like you say

 

i once totally destroyed a bike in my cossie, we were going uphill as well, he was peddaling like fuck but even with 21 gears and one man power he had no chance lol

 

My 2008 R1 will do 0-150mph in 11 secs.
Takes a lot of car to match it..
Bikes are awesome.
Would love a Cossie though.!

 

now thats quick, was i think a t reg i raced.

 

Motorcycle Consumer News tests of the 1998 model year YZF-R1 yielded a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time of 2.96 seconds and 0 to 100 mph (0 to 160 km/h) of 5.93 seconds, a ź mile time of 10.19 seconds at 131.40*mph (211.47*km/h), and a top speed of 168*mph (270*km/h), with deceleration from 60 to 0 mph (97 to 0 km/h) of 113.9*ft (34.7*m).[1] For the 1999 model year, Cycle World tests found a 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) time of 3.0 seconds, ź mile time of 10.31 seconds at 139.55*mph (224.58*km/h), and a top speed of 170*mph (270*km/h).[6]

 

Cut and pasted obviously..

 

sounds about right my et is slower but terminal is faster hence on the move rolling start i could pull on it a bit.

 

Get some pics up of them both mate.

 

that cossie sounds awesome

 

if you wont to play with bikes k5 750cc you need propper 400 horse car then you can push them up the road and pass them at 130 +i like bike and when i have them i do race cars and when i have cars a race bikes ! but bikes do stop quicker than cars!

 

mate seriously a 400 hp car aint gonna do shit against a modern 750cc sports bike unless its a 800 kg car.

 

It always seems unfair that the bike has to be standard . Pit mine against a highly modded bike & he will simply drive away .

Certainly a standard R1 is puffing hard above 175mph so a 700bhp Cossie will outgrunt it with ease, with less than 500bhp an R1 will eat a Cossie alive whatever young lads say in the pub .
The vid is against a works bike think its a Triumph perhaps the bikers will know, They were testing & he thought they would enter the straight at 100mph behind us & simply disappear at no point did he gain & big Power simply made it a no contest .
The rather excited young lads are my son & his mate who now owns a 500bhp Cossie & an R1 .

lol me with the silly voice i blame the cameras mic and yes it was a triumpth but to be honnest id still say you can hold an older 1000cc bike with 500bhp my r1 is an old one with only 130bhp and dosent carry bigger speeds on most roads up in the gears to be honest but new 1000s with 180+ bhp are a totaly different game!

 

well i have race out of a round about in second gear a k5 750 which woz pretty dam new at the time,in my ecoz 411 bhp 390 toque thats why ive posted ! have you

 

i dont get what your saying plus 750 = not really that fast lol 1000s are really fast

 

i know how much i struggled to beat an old r1 with about 700 angry whp, he was proper going for it though. lol

 

well their not that fooking slow either 1000s are alot quicker and i,ve never played with one in my car few on my old bike tho

 

no there not slow against most cars but a 400bhp mk2 escort will be faster lol but i bet if you met a 180bhp gsxr 1000 at 70 you would be left for dead

 

Jim to be honest R6's are not that quick an R1 different cup of tea

 

Yup. Had an R1 next to me blipping his throttle under the A47/A11 flyover once. I knew I had no hope but had to have a go

 

well ive just thrashed the fook out of my t reg r1 and raced a new aston no idea what one.. hammered him off the roundabout then was cruising at 110 with the wind and rain battering me when him and his missus glided past me just a tad quicker than me but looked nice and comfy and dry... wish id have moved out of his way when he was tailgating me now rather than thrash it away and end up looking silly..

 

I love having a play with bikes

Stopped and chatted to a few as well
