Yesterday afternoon when I was leaving work I happened to get stopped next to a yamaha raven R6. The road we were on is a dead straight 2 lane road with no turn ons/offs.

I took off from the light fairly quick to see if he would bite, gave it more gas than I would have normally and I saw him get into his tuck and his headlights rise.. Game on. I pedaled the rest of first as the 315 bfg drags don't like first gear, hit second hard and hooked it. He never started creeping on me, and by the time I got to ~125 I had a solid gap on him 2-3 cars. I was shifting @ 6 grand because the car runs out of fuel pumps.

I can't wait to get my tax return and put some GT pumps in this thing and be able to pull to redline safely. And to get another tune with more timing :)

Mods:
KB 2.2 and all supporting
KB bap and pegged stock pumps
Kooks lts and o/r x into a mac catback
fidanza 4.3 and steel flywheel 26 spline
bfg 315 drags on 10.5 reps
19 psi on a Fat tune with light timing
585 rwhp and 520 rwtq.
Full weight down to the spare.

Good kill, average rider on a 600cc bike most likely, that's easy prey for a 600hp cobra.

Cotch rocket... Self ownage / iPhone ownage. I don't have a "real" keyboard to type on.

Was fun though, one of the only things that has been worth posting about.

Sounds normal to me. Good job man. Get the pumps in. Before I went turbo I had a vortech in my fox and had to shift at 4900 rpms, it sucks comming out of boost liek that. Could have put another linx bus on that bike.

good kill...always fun hunting crotch rockets....R6s are one of the slower 600 in terms of straight-line speed...dont really start pulling until WAY up top in the rpm range. With an average rider, you should never have an issue with them...now, on a road course and twisties, they are insane....unbelievable handling

Always cool to beat a bike. I walked a Ninja 250 but thats not saying anything compared to a 600 and above. :kaboom:

Nice kill OP! I'm sure he thought it was going to be a different outcome. Some of the bike owners are cocky, though i've owned a ZX6 and ZX7.

At a redlight I stayed ahead of a R6 until 4th gear in a 308rwhp Mach 1 with 4.10 gears and 315 DRs in the rear.

Good kill
