hence if you are a new rider and want to show off would you have a 916? nope. maybe the latest 180bhp bike.

i agree "we are here for a good time not a long time"

but what if u dont kill yourself instantly?

i/we/the taxpayer has to fork out for the nhs treatment wasted for idiot drivers/riders who kill/injure themselves, showing off

if u wanna find out which is quicker, y dont u take the zxr and 916 down to a track?

I was also thinking along the lines of 'your death might not be your fault, it could be someone elses'. The guy could be a complete and utter div, and mean what he says and run him off the road. Im all up for doing what you want, as long as its your own life at risk, and its you who makes the decision. Not some vengeful idiot trying to prove a point.

All good points guys...But uno ...".take it to the track" is such a cleiche...... sounds patronising to people.... I know when I was younger I had enough fun and trouble to last me a life time......I just dont want to deprive others of that joy........Nor do I want to encourage death......Then again I am a bit of an anarchist politically. Thinking about it , I think I better just get back to talking tech...LOL....

Just remember.....Have a good life....Nothing will remember you when the earth is burnt up by the sun.......LOL

So when's this happening? I mean: winter + public roads = perfect conditions, right?

I hope neither of you are fully comp cos I don't want you street heroes putting my premium up...

lol hey at the end of the days if i bin it or kill me self i do something that i enjoy and always will (not riding like a dick) riding bikes :) they are my passion and always will be no matter what happens. but tbh we dont have any tracks down in cornwall so no point travelling just to settle an argumeant lol. but the road i chose your lucky to see more than 2 cars. 1st things 1st is i want to make sure the roads are clear have a couple people at both ends and any cars on the road its off.. will be making a video and posting it on youtube... however it might be a ZX6R in this case as the performance is so much more than my little zixxer. it handles just... not quite but just as good as the ZXR... little does the dealer know i got my knee down more than once lol.. oh yeah quick mention its not a 916 its a 748...... my mate was speaking to the guy so.... oh sorry by the way im just waiting on the guy... if it WILL ever happen. will speak to him tommorow find out when... if not then my apologeez.. but hopefully i provided great entertainmeant
