Today, in Palmdale, California, WITH A 25 MPH HEAD/CROSS WIND, in front of all the Cycle World editors and representatives of Ducati, Honda, Triunph, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha, Rickey G does the impossible.In a test for Cycle World for the best Middle Weight bike out, Dragracing has now experienced it's first BONE STOCK 9 second 600 pass..... Or passes!!! Guess what....... It wasn't on a Kawasaki. The Yamaha R6, ran a BLISTERING 9.93@135mph, backed up by a 9.98@135mph. The numbers were.....
1.54 60'
4.17 330'
111mph 1/8mi.
9.93@135mph

NOTE, these bikes are the dictionary definition of stock. NO WEIGHT, stock pipes, -1 front sprocket, lowered, no race gas or motor work, and THAT'S IT!!!!

The test bikes included the Ducati 749, Triumph 650, Honda CBR 600RR, Suzuki GSXR 600, Kawasaki ZX-6R, and Yamaha R6. The test started with ALL the bikes at stock height. The Ducati went 10.71@127mph. The Triumph went 10.60@129mph( ). The Honda went 10.42@130mph. The Suzuki went 10.39@128mph. The Yamaha went 10.36@132. And last but not least, the Kawasaki went 10.34@132mph. What is the fastest you've ever seen a stock height 600 go??? i guarantee it isn't three tenths of those #'s!!!

They then decided to take the two fastest bikes and lower them. That was the Yamaha and the Kawasaki. The Suzuki was down on horsepower and had the second to lowest mph with near flawless passes, while the Kawi and the Yamaha were the only two bike that he could not keep on the ground in first gear. These factors are what made the Kawi and the Yamaha the chosen bikes.

With 2" ground clearance, the first pass for the Kawasaki was a 10.16, with a 1.55 60', but the shock was hitting the swingarm so they had to raise it back up. Then, 4 passes later, with a 1.58 60' and a 4.27 330', the Kawi went 10.02@135mph. The first pass for the Yamaha was 10.12. Then 3 passes later, with a 1.55 60' and a 4.23 330', the Yamaha went 9.98@135mph. Them came back and went a 1.54 60' and a 4.17 330', and went 9.93@135.

Now, this is getting Crazy!!!! I honestly can't believe that a stock 600 went 9's. I wish there was still a 600ss class. If these bikes were setup S/S legally, they will go 9.50's easy!!!!

Stay tuned fellas, Rickey G will go to Cali next month to test ALL the new 1000's!!!! THAT should be interesting!!!!

I don't agree with them that -1 front sprocket and lowered is stock but it's damn near close to be running 9.93@135.

Let's bump the R6 up to around 636cc and see what happens.

Or how about we run the 6RR and see if it can beat the R6.

******* cheater bikes

 

.08 seconds between the worst time 600rr and the best 636 is nothing. To argue that the Kawi is so much better is just rediculous. All are good bikes, just depends on whats confortable to you.

 

yamaha all the way baby

 

R6 has crazy 1st gear thrust. Back in early '04, they measured the thrust to be greater than the R1. Middle weights are definitely easier to launch than a liter bike. Thats why on a short 1320, the 600's are never far from the 1000's. Seems like on that day, all the times were very good. It would be interesting to see what a liter bike would've done.

 

Yeh i wouldn't call lowered and geared stock...stock is stock...you can't alter the definition of that....still impressive non-the-less....9s with simple mods..

 

....so basically they confirmed that the performance of all these bikes are separated by the width of a ******* hair and that it really depends on the rider....!

 

Kawasaki.......10.34@132mph -.00
Yamaha.........10.36@132mph -.02 seconds difference.
Suzuki...........10.39@128mph -.05 seconds difference.
Honda............10.42@130mph -.08 seconds difference.
Triumph.........10.60@129mph -.26 seconds difference.
Ducati............10.71@127mph -.37 seconds difference.

to see the "brand x superiority" more clearly.

 

all these numbers mean absolutely nothing to 95% of people out there. i seriously doubt most riders are that good where a tenth of a second makes that critical difference.

 

amazing #'s for a 600cc bike but I don't know why they think they can brag about them being stock

 

isn't the 2005 daytona a 650 not a 600? when do we stop calling them 600s when they are 698cc?

Ducati 749 always gets tested with the 600's also.
It's more a matter of similar performance numbers than engine cc's.

 

with all the bikes being so close the #'s mean absoultely nothing in the real world it will be the riders who determine which is faster not the machine

p.s. kawi does have extra 36cc an for all others to be so close to it lacking that its obvios that without that 36cc they would be dead last.

 

I don't know about you guys but I think drag racing street bikes is pretty gay. I'd be more interested in roll-on performance.

The ZX6R would OWN the other bikes on a roll!

Thats a stupid non factually based comment

And regardless, 636 FOR LIFE!

 

Drag racing streeet bikes is gay, but that Yami is an all around performer. I love that bike.

OMG let it go, you can sit here and disect every bike because of a magazine, but if you rode a GSXR 600, 600RR, R6, ZX6R and didn't know which was which on a track I gaurantee you would be swinging on the nuts of a bike other than ZX6R. You aren't a good enough rider where .08 seconds makes a difference.
