You can get a very good launch on most 600 sports bikes as your weights right over the front wheel, and being pretty highly geared they don't wheelie as much as the 1000s off pure power alone. He should have been ahead by a fair old bit, particularly as at 130 he'll have another 30 odd to go, and you'd have maybe 10! Although if' it's one of the 6s with 6 pot tok calipers, I imagine you'd make it up on the brakes :lol
Have to agree, i'd have loved to try that challenge, but with also the option of swapping bikes for the re-run.
Makes total sense.
