ok i have a 05 katana 600 with a yoshi exhaust, stage 1 jet kit, and only 14,000 miles. my wife's brother has a 1984 honda sabre 1100 completely stock and over 30,000 miles on it. him and my wife's dad thank that bike will out run mine but i really dont think it will, his bike is alot more heavier than mine and he has about 60lbs on me, this is what his bike looks like. what do u guys think?

Not knowing how much Hp have gone lost since the Sabre rolled out of the factory, and not considering the increase in Hp from the stage 1 jet kit,
power/weight ratio for the Sabre is 0.5010Hp/kg (0.2272Hp/lbs) as opposed to the Kat's 0.3846Hp/kg (0.1744Hp/lbs).
Talking about sheer power the outcome seems pretty simple to me.

I think you could smoke him 0-60 but then he'll leave you behind as he picks up speed. just to be sure (that you'll win)- get a race bike first...oh and if you're gonna race- do it right...AT A TRACK....not on a public road.

According to the webs.. (it's always true if it's on the webses right?...)

84 Sabre 1100 was the claimed as the fastest production bike for that year.

Aprox Rated for 11.380 seconds in 1/4 mile drag run.

The post 600 is rated for aprox 12.3 in a 1/4 mile drag run. The post 750 has been reported with runs closer to the 11.5 or so range.

But... it honestly will all come down to the riders.

maintenance wise his bike hasnt been taken care of at all, iv only seen him change the oil once in 3 years hes had it. so id say its lost alot of compression over the years. they also think it can beat my friends r6 600 lol, my honest opinion is that the katana's are alot faster than people think, if im running 85mph i can touch 120mph in just a few seconds.

yeah it was honda's first bike that would do 150mph. but if it comes down to riders then its a done deal, ive been racing atvs and dirt bikes for years and this is my second bike.

[Slofuze]

[2fast4u450]

lol.

whats the best brand of oil to run to? need to change it before next weekend.

[arsenic]

You own a Katana. The only thing it's faster than is a bike with pedals. It's a sport touring bike, not a crotch rocket. Get use to it. If you want bragging right that you have a fast bike, a Katana was a bad choice.

Oil is like religion, there is a million of them and yours is wrong. There is no "best" oil. That's an opinion. I've always used Mobil 1 4T synthetic motorcycle oil , is that the best? It's the best for me.

Mobil 4T synth.
