I had a friend who needed a ride someplace today, and when she phoned me to ask if I could give her one, I said sure, but it has to be on bike cuz my car isn't here. So she said, "cooool...all the better". It was about 45 minutes from here on the hwy. Anyway, after I dropped her off, I get back on the hwy and didn't do a mile when this porshe comes up on my ass. Now my speedo doesn't work...so I am not 100% sure how fast I was going. The avg speed on the hwy here is about 120kms/hr....and I was just slowly passing them....so maybe 130. Anyway, I get into the right lane and let the porsch go by, then I get behind him. He came onto it....trying to lose me I guess.....but I stayed on his ass. Then he pulls into the right lane and I go by him. Mind you at this point, neither of us are really giving it. I think he wanted me to lead.....so I nailed it. he was trying to keep up, but was slowly falling behind. I still had a bit left, but I slacked off so he could keep up (I didn't want the fun to end too quickly). we did the "you lead, then I lead" thing.). We couldn't really come onto it for a bit cuz there was a fair amount of traffic. But after we passed this one exit where alot of the traffic got off, then it was pretty open road. At one point, I was turning 9.5k and we were side by side. I still had some left...not much, but some. The my exit was coming up. Go figure...it was his exit too. Needless to say, that run pretty much finished off what gas I had left in my tank, so I pulled into a gas station....and so did the porsche. The guy gets out of his porsche with a huge smile on his face. he was maybe 45 or so....just a bit older than me. He's like, wow...that was fun. Not knowing how fast we made it up to, it was the first thing I had to ask. He said according to his speedo, we made it to just a bit over 270kph......about 160mph. We both admitted that we were pretty much close to maxed out...maybe a bit left. It was cool experience.
So....my point to this.....I think someone on here...maybe a few....when talking about how great it feels when you toast someone who thinks they have what it takes to beat your bike.....well you are not going to take a porshe on any 600 or 750 katana.....I am convinced of that. His porsche was a 93 911 turbo. I just did a check on the net...top speed is 180. So I am pretty sure he can beat my 1100 if we both went to the end.
It will NEVER happen with a 600 or 750. I think the Busa must be pretty much the only one who stands a chance to top out a porsche.
Doesn't matter if he could out do me....it was a fun run. Oh...and that 45 minute trip turned into about 20 coming home.
