listen to this one, my friend with a 03 cbr600 f4i thinks if you shift at 8k instead of 14 but make it a smoother shift that you will go faster. I don't even bother to tell him cause what would be the fun in that? well anyways we decided to give eachother a go one night, I had my clutch at the biting point and he had clutch fully disengaged light hits red I take off shift into second at 10-5 and I'm gone. That's the only race I've won against a bike, against cars it's not even a race.

You guys are too funny.  If I take the bike to 7,000 rpm and dump the clutch while grabbing full throttle, it launches real nice.  Sometimes it spins the rear tire and then wheelies, sometimes it hooks up and wheelies. I hold it a foot or so off the ground and then hit second.  Usually bounces up and carries second gear.  Most big bore bikes can't beat me to 40 (too hard to launch on the street) and sometimes I get to 60 ahead of them.  
By third gear, it is all over, but I am still laughing. :mrgreen:

Thats sweet dude! Gotta love the little GS.

Isn't that the truth, these bikes launch so well...I think I would get a better 30' time in the GS than the Busa....after that I doubt it....but the way this thing launches is sweet....just enough power to roll...but not enough to flip you over....Too bad there are no 30' sactioned tracks around....
