I'm driving up a 4 lane road and see a black crotch rocket coming up in my rear view mirror..... There's a red light ahead and there are 2 cars stacked up in the left lane so I switch lanes; being the first car in line in the right lane. The bike does the same and sits right on my bumper at the stop light. Now I know the bike will leave my car behind in an instant but I thought it would be fun to see the bikes awesome acceleration. The light turns green and I take it easy on the clutch and then WOT. I redline first and just as I shift into second the bike lane splits and passes me like I'm barely moving.... We both slow down a little bit after that. I finally see that it's an R1 when as I pull along side him. A funny thing was that the bike almost made no noise even when it was passing me! Must have been stock exhaust. Wasn't too much of a race but I thought you guys would find it interesting.

Sportbike vs almost any car = sportbike fails to notice you racing..
I killed an M3 CSL about 2 years ago.. The only car that has put up some fight as of yet.
Nice run even so. Most car owners know they´ll get creamed by most bikes. But it´s still fun (as a rider) to get some easy action now and again.. :)
