An RGV could and probably would piss all over a CBR6 on the twisties, in a straight line though, even hen tuned it would get left behind by the 600.
Stage 2 RGV: 68bhp
CBR6: 110bhp

Even with the extra weight the extra power and tire size on the 600 will piss on anything smaller in a striaght line.

RGV's are great fun, but ultimately their all money pits Crying or Very sad
As a track bike they would be perfect, as a commuter useless.

So sign up for some track days and make the most of it! Thumbs Up

it wouldnt beat an RR but it does beat my mates cbr 600 f (95) in a straight line, that doesnt have 110bhp it has <95bhp but weighs more, his end can is knackered tho but till he gets that sorted it slaps him in a straight line, power to weight ration is pretty much the same
cbr roughly 600bhp per tonne
rgv roughly 550bhp per tonne

No, it wouldnt, it would lose by a small margin.
Then when it came to stopping or going round a corner the KR1 would get pissed all over Laughing

RS250's are yummy!
Their not all as highly tuned as those ones so the road bikes don't need rebuilding quite That often. Even as standard they are capable of making the most modern of kit look stupid around a track Very Happy Thumbs Up
