I Thought I'd Never See The Day

[Marko R1]

hi guys,

this is impressive - an r35gtr with an exhaust & retune is quicker than a current spec Gsxr1000.

I used to race bikes & I can see that the rider knows how to ride so he is really pushing his bike:

I find this incredible as the bike has 1:1 power to weight ratio - all the more kudo's to the mighty r35gtr!!!

Enjoy

Quicker? Looks even to me.

And you can't tell if the R35 or Bike jumps @ the start.

[Marko R1]

If u watch it again, gtr punches ahead then the bike comes next to it momentarily...then the gtr pulls away again up top. Its definitely quicker than the gixxer

should be able to take down a litre bike from rest with a full bolt on r35 and good lc traction

but roll on comparisons don't really make sense in aus due to our speed limits and what you stand to lose if/when get caught, nor can we type our own disclaimer filmed in mexico

It must be mentioned that the guy on the bike has got no stick and to make a GTR go fast from 60ks takes no skill whatsoever.

Put me up against a GTR on my R1 and it'll be close to 120 then I'll stomp it to 250ish then The GTR will start to catch me once we pass ~260-270kph and I'll hit a wall at ~290 where as the GTR will be leaving me at ~30kph and I won't see it again till it gets bored and slows down.

I doubt that race hit 250 so the gixxer should have been comfortably in front but I have a feeling the dude in shorts and a tshirt hasn't got much of a clue.

What yr model is your r1?

Yrs ago I had a 99r1 with work done it, making 145rwhp...I ran that against my r32gtr which had 365awkw and I couldn't get away from it on the bike and we were rolling from about 80km to way over 200kmh.

On that old dinosaur I got it up to 309kmh but that was it...I wouldn't accelerate past that point.

it's dark, you can barely see anything and all you can hear is the gtr. I do not know how you can tell if the rider knows how to ride the bike.

[Marko R1]

It is dark but u when u get a clear view of the bikes headlight, u know the race is over

Riding a bike on roll on is like a car, no real art other than change just under the limiter.

It is going to be subjective at the end of the day Which is quicker but for those who ride bikes and understand howbfast they are, it is phenominal to see a near stock gtr play in the same field.

no one knows of a private road where we can do our own comparos?

motorway (cough cough, hrrrm)

i can definitely organise the bikes

[domino_z]

too much to lose on public roads

[Marko R1]

tongue in cheek - i am not that irresponsible

I've been riding for 16 years and am yet to meet a single person who rides in shorts and a tshirt who knows how to bang.

Precisely. 365awkw is somewhere in the vicinity of 600hp. That's 70 more than an R35 and in a car which is some 300+kg lighter than an R35.

A newish Gixxer 1000 should school a GTR from 60-250ish. From there the R35 stomps the gixxer.

Well, actually it's not going to be subjective.

2011 GTR - 0-200 in ~11.1 seconds - http://www.germancarforum.com/community/threads/first-performance-test-2011-nissan-gt-r.36376/

2006 Gixxer 1000 - ~5.5 seconds - http://www.firstpost.com/topic/organization/suzuki-motor-gsxr-1000-k6-0-250-kmh-acceleration-test-gopro-hd-video-4VrYvYUoC08-85101-9.html

That's objective.

And it's possible to miss a gear on the bike, not so in a GTR, meaning you need some semblance of skill to do it.

Also -

- the GTR got the jump and still got spanked in the first race. Edited September 17, 2012 by Cowboy1600

I cant see the link to that gixxer? The best 0-200 I could find on the gsxr was 7.5sec.

Either that gtr had more work done to it or maybe the bike was a 750 or 600?

My last bike was in fact a k6 with arata titanium full system and power commander - farken monster made 173.5rwhp! I could pick up the front eheel in 4th gear at 240kph...man i miss my bikes.

[Marko R1]

And this is where it ended up...a girl bought it, lowered it with extended swing arm and consistently runs 9.4sec

Before u ask, it didn't have the pink bits on it when it was mine

after you threw in the leathers, she didn't have much choice but to colour co'ordinate

P.S. I never had the chance to thank you for donating the leathers to me
