If his car runs low 13's then he's probably correct, he'll beat ya.

What's his car?

What's he driving?
Low 13 is pretty damned fast for a car. None of the old muscle cars could do it in stock form.

Then you know what it takes to make a 13 second car. His probably isn't.
I would guess a 850 could do around 13 if you can ride it right.

so my joking of my bike being as fast as a 250 ninja....i guess its not a joke anymore lol

[tkent02]

The 850 might have more top speed, that's probably about it.
Don't really know, never ridden a 250 Ninja except in a little neighborhood street full of kids. It seemed like a fun little bike, though.

Edit, just looked, a 250 Ninja does 15 second quarter miles. Might beat your buddy's Camaro though.

Huh? *None* of em?
You sure about that?

Actually, some of em could, and did..
It's all about torque!

Race him to the 1/8 mile and he won't stand a chance.

Please explain

[7981GS]

The 850 should be doing about 75-80 mph and the 'maro would be barely able to hit 60-65 mph by then.

Torque is good, but not without traction...
Not sure, but I didn't think any could in stock form, maybe that's not true.
Which ones did?

Just stats…But is your bike ready?

You better have new clutch plates and springs in your 850 before you race.
Because if they're as old as the bike, (and probably are), you're gonna be embarrassed.
Easy job to replace those, I just did it last Oct.
