Had a kid on a Gixxer thinking he wanted some of the Rocket but he found out real quick that he did not. He was behind me blipping the throttle and the light turned green and I let him go, He went around me in full tuck then I took off and went around him like he was sitting still. Got to the next light and he wouldn't even look over at me. I was blipping my throttle now and he just sat at idle. Light turned green and I was gone and he was riding in traffic with the rest of the cagers. I think it was just a 600 but still thought it would have more than that. It was a whole lot of fun anyhow and what made it even better is we passed one of my bros on his Street Glide during this melee and he calls me later telling me how badass my bike is and talking about the poor kid on the Gixxer.
 
I was out riding a few weeks ago, I pulled over to take a photo.
Just as I was about to get going again a big bunch of bikes started going by, waiting .... waiting .... waiting for a spot where I could get out onto the Road.
Stuff it! Just gave the bike full throttle, matched their cruising speed, passed them, hooked 2nd and worked my way through the group.
I'm sure the guys that I passed at warp speed shat themselves !
Oh well, it had to be done.

Kinda reminds me of that old joke ....
Have you seen the latest Harley .....
No, not since 2nd gear :D

Paul stop ragging on Harleys---- you do know that 95% of all Harleys ever made are still on the road

Gixer guy had no idea what he was doing, any 600 ****** rocket will eat a stock rocket for lunch
 
I've had a go with a 600 Ninja. I do have pipes and Ramair and I can't comment on his skills or lack thereof...
But light to light isn't exactly the 600s strong suit. While it IS the Rockets.
Published 0-60 times put the bikes in pretty close competition.
A mostly stock R3 isn't going shame a 600, but there's no reason to assume a win is only due to rider incompetence.
Add a few hundred feet and the game is over, but horses for courses might as well have some fun. :)
