R1 vs R6 on motorway no contest

[woo]

For those that still think theres not much difference between a 600cc and 1000cc heres your real life proof that there is no contest between the 2 in a straight line

The r6 kept up at speeds below an indicated 270kph. That's most situations I can think of

Ah I do miss having litre sports bikes.

It's videos like this which more or less prove the theory that car-guys like to talk utter bollocks when they think their MR2, Impreza, Evo, M3 etc etc, can out-pace R1's etc.

They truly are in a league of their own.


(Obviously, we can all go find a £150,000 modified Skyline on Youtube that'll beat a £2400 bike, but that's different).

Obvious winner is obvious.

It's like saying there is no difference in a race between a dwarf and Linford Christie over 100m.

An R6 doing 293kph/182mph?

the R6 only kept up as the R1 was holding back but when he let rip you can see he disappeared into the nether vortex.

i have seen people say there is not much difference between the 2 cc's but only those who have had no experience from riding both at speed in a straight line and read text book figures believe that

on a race track with lots of bends and few straights the R6 might go faster round the track.

only time i ever did those speeds in a t shirt and jeans was one hot summer when i was very upsett and pissed off that i just didnt give a fuck.
i would never ever ever do that now too much to lose like not being able to play world of warcraft cos id be dead

At those speeds, no kit would make an ounce of difference if you came off.

[P.addy]

But an R1 is inherently boring.

[andys675]

much more fun passing a flat out amg merc restricted to 155 mph on an R6, and embarrassing for the merc owner

Normally lap times are pretty close - rider skill is more likely to be the bigger factor taking any two riders.

Not sure if it's me but the bike sounded terrible.

180 if correct on a road to 130 ish on a track/strip are different though. Leathers will help for sure, but the speed may make a difference along with cars etc...

The sound from the helmet at 130 to 150 odd to me feels very different. I am not sure if I broke the sound barrier and sonic boomed, but yeah.
