Re: got some questions/opinions on used bike..
 

wow talk about dense.

i have a very wide powerband. its not hard for me to find a RPM where i can start and pull hard.

im assuming his gsxr revs to 14.5k or close... and prob starts making power at 9-10k if he doesn't start there... he will get dusted so ------- hard... you could stick that 600 at 5k in any gear and it'll bog like a mother fucker.

if he doesn't put it right in the powerband, he'll get toasted on a normal informal highway race 60ish to 120ish

if he puts it right at its peak power he'll win. obviously since the bike is lighter and makes more PEAK hp (for about 3k rpms way way way up top)

same reason 1200 PEAK hp poopras run 12 flat. and this is also the same reason people run new R6s 12s @ almost 140mph.... they launch it at 9k and it STILL BOGGGSSSSSSSSSSS.

not hard to understand

peak power @60mph is probably 1s gear.

Also, dont buy that bike, at the very least get a 01 f4i, get something feul injected. Carbs suck. I'd say go with a 750. I've had my 636 for about 3 months and i've already geared it because i feel its not fast enough, and the 636 has more or equal hp than the newer 600's because it has 36 extra cc. Go with a 750, ---- it get a 1000.

yeap, and he'll rap it out in a instant and not move anywhere, then have to shift, at start at bottom of powerband. all the while i've pulled about 5 lengths 8)

GSX-R600 ('00) 10/00 11.13 @ 122.79 <- slower than 84 fj1100
GSX-R600 ('05) 3/058, 4/05 10.62 @ 130.5 <- about the same... slightly faster
GSX-R750 ('96) 12/96, 12/97 10.54 @ 133.5 <- about the same... slightly faster
YZF-R6 ('00) 10/00, 12/00 10.99 @ 125.24 <- about the same
YZF-R6 ('05) 4/05 10.54 @ 132.9 <- faster

FJ1100L/LC 50H / 47M '84-'85 10.7 sec @ 125.34 mph

mag race YES!

ebay.... find an 05 for 4-5k
though it might not be such low miles

Re: got some questions/opinions on used bike..
 

yea

miles are not that big of a deal esp on a FI one.

My civic smoked a viper the other day. I got video but my camera broke. It's true.

Ok I get it now, you did a ricer flyby. Way to go. Your awesome.



Yup, your 84' is faster and better than the modern streetbike in all ways. Post vids dragging your knee on that thing.
