S2000 vs CBR 929r
#11
Doesnt matter what the figures say. Anything can happen on the street. The fact is whether the dude on the bike was afraid or not, he stepped up to the plate and struck out, regardless of what the reasoning was. A better rider on the bike may have turned the results the other way around, but thats irrelevant to this specific situation.

lol nvm you are making about 5-6 HP per 100 lbs and he is making about 3.5 HP per 100 lbs. so yea it makes sense that you beat him.

its called weight to power ratio. A 2900 lb car with 500hp will have a wight to power ratio of 5.8lbs per hp. I have no idea how much power or weight the bike has. so i cant comment on that (and I have no idea how s2000maniac got his figures.) :shrug;

Yea, he's a puss, or doesn't know how to ride.
Nice kill none the less, but there's no way an S with that type of power should even come close to keeping up with a newer 1000.
Like you said tho, anything can happen on the street.

I used to own a CBR900RR and it really is rider modd to see who wins(considering OP's car). If he is very comfortable riding at high speeds and able to ride at full throttle you would have stood no chance. The 900s when at full throttle the front wants to come up.

Yeah, I googled it, but I knew of MCN indecies from my motorcycling days. It's good bench-racing info. Someone mentioned power-to-weight ratios, so I looked it up. The only experience I have with sportbikes is the races I've seen, and they ride a several-inch wheelie for a good ways when they take off. So I guess if a rider isn't willing and able to do that, they're not gonna get max performance out of it. But you did a 40mph roll, so I have no idea.

Over a decade ago the Hayabusa was kicking out over 160hp and some cycle mags were clocking sub 10 second quarter mile times in independent tests.
The OP should feel lucky that a pansy was riding that bike. You could somewhat baby that bike into second before ramping up the gas and still get around 4 seconds to 60 and second will run to about 120 mph - for an S2000 that's a ton of rowing on the gearbox. I don't care how much disregard you show for your gearbox each change is lost time.
It's not like that the 929RR is all that new being that it's over 10 years old and newer is 'subjective' as than model was only out for about 18 months. If that bike has been ridden the way Honda intended it may well be due for a freshen up in the engine department in the same way that a hooker that's been walking the streets for over a decade could probably do with her 'cylinder' freshening up.
