rd500 vs. r1

[oldskool83]

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

2 different bikes. rz500r was power valved.

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.

I would love to run one against my 929rr
