2 strokes rule...

[oldskool83]

r1 will kill it, sorry i like liter bikes on the street.

[lndy650]

my rm500 destroyed a cbr1000 up to 100mph and it dosent look like the r1 is killin it either... haha and the 2stroke is half the size

[The Goat]

and no one comments that the rider of the R1 is shitty and let off rather than ride out first?

[3 or die]

My last bike was a 94 r1. Most high power smaller bikes would stay close till 100mph, then they would start slackin off. The r1 is just gettin started at that speed. The thing wold run almost 70 in 1st gear before it would start banging the rev limit. You could start 100ph wheelies without slipping the clutch . That being said, if the r1 driver is scared and the other driver is good than you got a race. But you put a good driver on the two the r1 is gonna pull away and leave it behind at high speed.

[oldskool83]

they didnt make r1's in 1994...you had a fzr1000...2 different animals r1 came out in 98.

Stock Busa hp on this RG500 suzuki. 146hp RG500: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEOGYI7wUlU&feature=related

[lndy650]

ya 146hp out of a 500 says it all 2 strokes rule

[factoryX]

yeah here is more backup for me to say that 4 strokes suck, watch it and weep!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbzQpZ7gFfo&NR=1

[lndy650]

that vid was an instant favorite..

[factoryX]

point of this thread is that a 1000cc r1 has 50 more hp than a 500cc 2 stroke street bike stock for stock...

[The Goat]

but how do you factor in the little suzuki 4 strokes that can easily touch 160hp?

Idk how much they weigh, but I know that was the first...and LAST streetbike I ever through a leg over.

if it was not a 1000rr you will kill it down low. r1's also have nothing down low untiler after 100ish and also most riders cannot handle the power of a liter bike let alone a geared on.

in an all out maxed out race regaurdless of distance they will kill.

[lndy650]

all that matters to me is 0-100 or 1/4 mile. i could care a less what some bike does at super sonic speed because im never going to want to go over 100 or so. ok i lied i like to go fast but i say 0-100 is where it counts. on a twisty track a 2 stroke half the size will destroy a 1000. and they weigh half as much

[oldskool83]

well duh! gotta explain what conditions, helps alot in arguring haha.

up on youtube there is a vid of me racing my friends 04 r1, well def over 100mph...ive hit 100mph wheelies with a passenger on back...vids on you tube also hehe.

[fabiodriven]

I don't think they ever made an RD 500. My guess is that's probly an RZ.

[hondawasaki]

Here ya go

[oldskool83]

they made and rz500 also, but i looked the same from what i remeber, i dont recall the differeanced between the 2

[fabiodriven]

I stand corrected.

[Tri-Z 250]

They outlawed plating the RZ500 in the States, as I remember. I recall people imported them via Canada...and putting Hostoric/Collector plates on them. I don't remember the above RD but was that the privious TAG before RZ?

[factoryX]

2 different bikes. rz500r was power valved.

[z400guy28]

Did anyone notice when his bike is being dynoed he does not show the actually dyno reading on the monitor like he did on everyone elses bike.Also anybody can take a piece of paper and print some dyno numbers on there computer.They way i see it is if it's a 2 stroke or 4 stroke, if it runs good doesn't break down on ya and is fast as hell who cares what cycle engine it is. As long as it rips is all i care about.

[Thorpe]

I would love to run one against my 929rr

[HondaHarry]

they made an RZV also. same as the RZ, but had an aluminum frame. HH

I can say that my NSR250RR will kill a CBR600RR on track and streets here in Seattle..

And all my friends laughed when I bought my NSR, " a 250r.. wow you can even ride a big bike, and look at those little pipes!"

[lndy650]

^^^haha hell ya!!! that says it all 2 strokes win discussion OVER!

[factoryX]

I wondered what a tz750 would do in a more modern bike like the r1. problem is it looks like the cranks in these where messed up from factory and like to break. and to break one is loosing the motor entirely. Good luck finding another crank. thats why this:http://www.twostrokeshop.com/TSS1100GP.htm is a better place to start with..
