Nice Gixxer! '03, right?
I have made a few 'Busa pilots around here regret their bragging, by virtue of a few hop-up mods, the fact that a VFR is a much nimbler machine, and some seriously curvy (and very familiar-to ME! HAH!!) roads!
There's no contest in a drag race; but a good pilot on a well-tuned '04 R1 will smoke the average Hayabusa rider in the quarter mile 9 times out of ten.
And an even better pilot on a strong CBR600F4 can plain walk away from me in those twisties I mentioned earlier...
Best regards,
FastVFR
