That was a cool vid but....
That biker did not know how to ride and at a quick look it looks like he weighs 300lbs on that little 600!
He did not leave the line right, missed 2nd gear, and let off half way thourgh 3rd after the celica cut in the middle of the road. It would be cooler to see how it would do up against a stock celica cause most of you guys would relate better. That bike with a good rider would not loose i owned a gixxer 1000 and that bike ran high 9's stock. I know of a 900hp supra that barely pulls on a bike and it would not be getting the lead from the start either. Sorry if i sound anti tuffy but... on the positive side it looks like tuffy must be a good driver to make a bike with a bad rider look that bad. Tuffy did get the kill on that race, but a good bike rider would not go down like that!

DG_Performance I read your post. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=39330&st=20
I would like to say that the biker was not smooth or very experienced, but the Celica had too much power for that CBR600. I like bikes it’s just that that bike and that car combination even with a seasoned veteran cyclist would have not produced a win for the CBR in my opinion. I not trying to give you a hard time. I just wanted to respond to your thoughts.

1. “That biker did not know how to ride and at a quick look it looks like he weighs 300lbs on that little 600! “
Looks like around 175 - 190lbs to me.
2. “He (biker) did not leave the line right.”
We don’t get the opportunity to view pre-launch rpm for the CBR or the Celica. I agree the biker should be definitely pulling the front wheel in 1st and 2nd gear shifts. He did however, appear to leaning with his chest on the fuel tank.
3. “(biker) missed 2nd gear. “
Sounds like he didn’t let off the throttle between shifts. Not smooth.
4. “(Biker) let off half way through 3rd”.
The Celica is still pulling away from the CBR at this time.
5. “after the celica cut in the middle of the road.”
The Celica has several lengths on the CBR at that time. The Biker knew that he could even match the Celica, let alone beat it. There are trees beside the road. The move both toward the center to clear the trees. The CBR isn’t being cut off. Look more like zoom lens distortion. Most footage in zoom/ telephoto looks make vehicle looks closer than without zoom.
6. “It would be cooler to see how it would do up against a stock celica cause most of you guys would relate better.”
I think most know that a CBR 600 would absolutely kill a stock USDM Celica GT or ST or even a stock JDM Celica.
7. “That bike with a good rider would not loose.”
I respect your opinion. I don’t agree.
8. “i owned a gixxer 1000 and that bike ran high 9's stock.”
9. “I know of a 900hp supra that barely pulls on a bike “
In another thread Tufy beat a “1000bhp” Supra. There is an earlier vid. of this race also. Four wheel drive can really do surprisingly well against many higher powered vehicles. http://www.rateyourgarage.com/1050bhpSupra...0bhpGt-Four.MOV
10. “and it would not be getting the lead from the start either.”
The Celica is about 2500lbs and has 400 plus bhp four wheel drive. The Celica has the advantage.
I have ridden in a 400bhp 2400lb car and could beat all makes of 700cc bikes with only rear wheel drive. I completely think he could do this on a regular basis.
11. “Sorry if i sound anti tuffy but... on the positive side it looks like tuffy must be a good driver to make a bike with a bad rider look that bad.”
I personally don’t think you sound anti Tufy at all.
12. “Tuffy did get the kill on that race, “
Yeah and it was fun to watch.
13. “but a good bike rider would not go down like that!”
Again, I respect your opinion. I don’t agree.
