It would of been a good battle on the highway. There's Single turbo supras running high 8's in a 1/4 mile on street tire. But its still a very cocky run. To race a R1.

A Supra that runs 8's in the 1/4mi will definitely pull on a stock R1. Single t Supras are even stronger from a roll. R1's are lucky to be in the 9's, and a lot of it is attributed to the launch. But I love sports bikes!

when we are talking about this much power, traction has a lot to do with it

I can see the bike hooking from a 50punch much more so than a Supra. I have friends with Supras that I have seen do a 360 trying to do a 3rd gear punch.

damn that thing sounds sick

at the end of the video, I am guessing they were on street tires cause those were some weak launches.

I don't have much info on each video. I just like seeing videos of any car racing with bikes. It's funny seeing street cars race with bikes.

You guys are comparing stock bikes to balls to the wall modded supras.

Did you guys get a chance to catch the video of the 800+hp super (or turbo) charged viper that ran 1. Stock busa, 2. Modded busa, 3. Modded xz12r?

It barely edged out the stock busa and got it's paint sucked off by the modded ones. And neither of those modded bikes had turbos on them.

Nice run Z06KILLR
Be careful man.
I was going to buy a new Honda 600RR before my S2000 but my mother did not approved and gave me the biggest speech of life and kind of refreshed my memory of an accident I had with a bicycle for doing crazy shit She was still about me getting the S2000 .

There is a reason I am still alive today (despite a nearly deadly motorcycle accident 7 years ago) -- I have never purchased a bike faster than my 748S.

Despite my better judgement my guess is I would be dead inside of a week with a bike like the new R1.
