600 cc street bikes
I have a few buddies with stock 600cc street bikes (one a 2004 600rr) and the other one is a kawasaki 636 or something. I was wondering what these things run at the track. I think I remember seing them in the low 12's, high 11's at 3500 ft if i remember correctly. I am just kind of looking for a reference point to gun for. Once i can beat my friend's bike I think I will slow down with the performance mods. Well maybe just for a bit.

It's not hard for many street bikes like that to run 12's although 13's is more common. With a few tweaks, 11's are possible depending on the bike. Many of our local drag bikes run 9's and 10's.

There is a guy around here(same one who milled my heads) who has what started as CBR 600. He runs 9.60's on the motor, and 9.30's on the bottle pulling the front tire the entire quarter mile. And not b/c he's trying to, b/c he has no choice. Pretty sure he is close to a record with a street bike(for 600cc) on a regular street tire with no traction bars or anything. That bike sounds more like a sbc with a cam!

If they can ride mid 11's are fairly easy for a new 600cc sportbike. The 1000cc are mid-low 10's and the Hayabusa is in the high 9's stock right out of the box.

cool, so if I could run a 12 flat at 3500 feet I should be safe against a stock 600? I know this is if everything goes as planned, because I know anything can happen. I'm thinkin about racing my buddy who has a 600 rr for some money, because he thinks "it's impossible for a car to beat a bike, so dont even try". My best time I have ran was a 13.1 at 3500 feet uncorrected, and I have since gutted the car (rear seats, carpet etc.) added subframe connectors, have a set of real slicks on order, and a nitrous kit with probably just a 100 shot. I'm hoping this is enough to shut him up.... any comments are welcome posative or negative I'm open to anyones theories.

Yea I really wanna win, just so I can say "Told ya so". If anyone else has raced a bike and beat it, or if it was somewhat close tell us about it here, and what kind of bike it was. I would also appreciate it if you would post some or all of your mods so we know what kind of calibre it takes to mess around with bikes etc.

You need to be about two seconds quicker to have a good shot at beating him. Unless of course he isn't an experienced rider. He may be afraid to launch at that bikes potential to get a low 11.

My brother pulled a 11.2 at 124mph on a stock 2002 kawi 600!! All it had was a pipe. Now he has a 2003 kawi 900 and runs 10.6 in the 130+ range. Once these things open up, it's over, bikes have crazy trap speeds. GOOD LUCK!!

Late 90's 600CC sport bikes are really not that hard to beat with a properly setup car making decent power. I regularly put them down in my firebird, which ran a 7.75 8th mile, which is supposedly good for a 12.0 1/4 mile (at 3,200 feet), so I think if you were to get your car in that 1/4 mile range STOCK 600cc bikes should be no problem. Key word here being STOCK modified they go quick.

I dunno what kind of bikes you guys are seeing but with a good rider, and I must repeat good rider, the new 600's will go 10's out of the box. My bone stock 2001 ZX-6R went 10.9 and though I'm a decent rider I have seen the same bike as mine go 10.7-10.8 stock.
My friend runs an 02 GRS-R1000 stock with a yoshi exhaust, consistant 9.70's so long as he keeps the wheel down on the launch. The new ZX-10R should be quicker, with a bone stock factory claim of 375lbs and 184hp.
One other thing, the newer 600's(newer than my 01)are faster than ever. 10's are fairly easy even with an average or slightly better than average rider.

Late 90's 600CC sport bikes
hah sorry to be a smartass
Mind you the ones I"m racing are here in Tucson at 3,100 feet. I've NEVER seen a 600cc sport bike go 10's in Tucson, and I go to the track quite often. They average high 12's with normal riders, low 12's/high 11's with awesome riders.

i have seen a 92 honda cbr 600f2 run 9s with a little gearing and lowered. i have a 92 yamaha 600 and i can run mid 11s all day and its stock. it all depends on the rider and if he can handle the bike. there was some guys down here at the local track and one had a hybuss and had the motor reworked to 1500cc and a 75 shot of NOS ran 7s all day long that was a sweet bike:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

well just for ****s I wanted to see where I stood against this thing, me and my buddy gaveer a couple runs. we were on a new paved deserted highway outta town. We had a guy flag us to start and I worked my buddy off the line, through second, and then he started pullin fairly hard on me when i was in third. he gained back about 4 car lengths that he was behind off the line, but I was surprised that he didn't just walk away. We later went from a 60km/h roll and he pulled a couple lengths on me in a few secs...... I was thinkin these things were crazzy fast, definatley beatable in a mid 11 second car. I'm running around a 12.3 corrected right now and I'm surprised I can hang with a few of them. I know my buddy can't launch very well, but he couldn't close the gap up to 110mph. ohh ya I forgot to mention he's riding a 2004 honda 600rr. He was shiftin at 12.5-13ish not quite the 15000 redline, he just got the bike a few days ago. Well anyways I was surprised that I hung in there even though Im sure a good driver woulda walked away on me, once I have my 100 shot and my exhaust done I should be able to beat 600's fairly easily.

yea I have seen a stock one run 12.1 at 3500 feet but that was about it. all these guys claim in the 10's then there "proof" of these times are some stupid rear wheel dyno they use. It doesn't factor in the riders weight, wind or loss of traction. I heard on these things some of them were pulling 1.2-1.3 sec 60' times, lol I'd like to see that on a stock 600 what a buncha meat heads.
