Years ago, my first bike was a Honda 650 with about 45 horsepower. All my buddies had bigger, newer bikes with at least double the horsepower and far superior suspensions, but when we would hit the twisties, I was always in the front. Why? Because I had track experience and even took a road racing course at Bridgehampton, LI with Mike Baldwin. On paper, they obliterated me to the point that I should have gone home rather than ride with them, but on the road, their superior equipment was no match for a superior rider .

My experience on the CBR900RR is limited to about 200 miles on a buddies and the thing I remember the clearest is how hard it was to keep the front wheel near the ground on any hard launches. It was a very short wheelbase for a motor that size at the time.

Just tell him that if he gets in front of you, you will run him over WHEN you catch up to him. That will make him think twice about passing you.

On a bike its all about the launch...and keeping the front wheel down....if the bike is setup for dragging...u might get embarassed...lol....roll ons same thing...but honeslty most liter bikes today I think you will have a tough time even if there on 1 wheel

just make the run end around 130-150...youll be ahead by that time...but untill about 80, he will look like he is definitely pulling...then around 100 you should start to reel, and then it just gets funny...
