Was minding my business on the freeway when an new appearing orange Kawasaki ZX-10R pulls up beside me. I suspect he wants to play so I killed the A/C and PSM. We are rolling about 70 mph so I selected fourth gear. Then he made the fatal error ...He gave me the jump.
I felt the firewall and rang up an immediate 1.5-6 bar. I pulled a length before he hit it. After he got moving I pulled another 2 lengths (for about 3 car lengths total). Other traffic was coming up quickly so I shut her down near the top of fourth and braked.
He pulled a ricer type fly-by and would not make further eye contact so I took it as a win...

 

Awesome kill Mike. He must have been pissed.

 

Great job, Mike! Beating liter bikes is fun.

 

Great kill!! Your 4th gear really is something special!

 

yea, and those bikes are fast modded ! nice kill. I had a zx10 for a short time

Thanks guys!

I dont pretend that I could have gotten him from a dig. In fact I suspect I surprised him quite abit since I keep my car exterior looking stock and dont keep it particularly clean. He probably thought he was dealing with a stocker that he could let run out there and quickly reel in...

 

I assume you are on race gas of some sort ?

 

ms109

 

Good kill Mike,bikes are hard to beat.

 

Nice kill. I got me a gsxr last night. I am not sure what displacement but am assuming 750 because I pulled on him a bit. I haven't gotten any sportbike kills till then so I couldn't tell you how a liter bike would do.

 

you dd on ms109?

 

good kill always impressive killing a liter bike

 

At 70 you would make more power in 3rd....nice kill in any event.

 

Yes, with my programming that Iam going to run at the mile next month, I need to run race gas. It's expensive but it came in handy this time.

 

Yes, but I would have immediately had to shift again. Also, where I started (~3500 rpm in fourth) is right near max torque.
