cbr600rr vs. crf450

hey everyone
I am a 16 year old and just baught a 2004 cbr600rr, and i have this guy bugging me saying how his crf 450 will beat me. I laughed at first and then he said he wanted to race for $500. Now I was wondering what the outcome should be, and remember im not just a little kid who cant drive a bike!! haha well get back to me on what you think the outcome would be! thanx guys, and gals!!

Race you in what?? a dragrace? or a motocross race? Granted the dirtbike will pull hard out of the gate but if it is in a 1/4 mile you will probally smoke him. Unless you are racing on a dirt road like in Biker Boyz!!

ya we will be racing on the 1/4 mile, so hopefully i will smoke him... he has a bucnh of stuff done to his bike tho? would that make a difference or do you still think i could beat him?

What does he have done? His bike is lighter then yours so if he as lost of modes you may only have a chang on the top end. But he is going to have to lanch it good. most dirt bike have a hard time keeping the front tire down when taking off on the street. good luck, The RR is a quick bike and if rode right sould beet the 450 unless he has magor mods done like extended swing arm or NOS or any thing major like that.


Nipz~

He has k@N airfilter, jetkit, race sprockets, pipe, and he is also running on street tires, like my sportbike. I hope i can beat him and win the $500 to help pay off the bike, but if i lose then thats $500 more bucks i need to find!!

you sould smoke him

great man thanx for the information

Your opponent has a supermoto setup. Those bikes can fuggin rail on the back roads. I'm not sure about the 1/4 mile drag race. He could be pushing 80 horsepower and weigh less than 300 lbs. Don't be overwhelmed if he stays right with you. He won't have but maybe a top speed of 100 mph, depends on his gearing. Let everyone know if you run him down the track.

QuiK

the RR should able to lanch harder becuase of LBS in the front and harder suspension in the back.

personaly i think you should'nt be street racing him. take it to the drag strip or a local track where it's legal. you should respect the sport. but as to awnser your question... supermoto bikes are quite surprizing, he will have harder time keeping front tire down but it all depends on both riders ability but you have the bike advantage. be safe. big bike for a 16 year old kid. i have a 04 600rr. well be safe and let us know how it comes out.

i agree

i needed a good laugh i dont think youll have any problem beating the 450

ok if you listen to anyone out there listen to me. I race motocross and ride a crf 250r. The bike is super quick but in a quarter mile it wouldnt come close to my f3. My crf would top out probably are 75 mph in no time. If you were racing 0-60 it would be close but a quarter mile he wouldnt stand a chance. You would be doing 120 at the finish and he would be doing 80. I would say how about $1000. Then I would race 0-60 with my crf 250r vs his 450. And make another $1000. Go for it and dont forget to rev it to the moon and drop the clutch. ;)

you said he has been riding for awhile what about you I would assume he is going to have to change gears a few more times then you assuming you have stock gearing you might have one or two shifts and assuming you don't need you're clutch to shift that right there should give you a big advantage assuming he has race gearing means it's probably shorter gearing wich means more shifting but if he knows how to drag and you don't hard to say I smoked a guy with a R1 last year but he couldn't drive at all

I smoke 450's all day on a CR250. His bike will top out before he even hits the eighth mile. Even if its geared for supermoto he will top out a little after. Your bike will be pulling the whole time. Go for it!

make sure to let us know of the outcome.

i own a CR250 and a CRF450 punched out to a 480cc which i race supermoto with...ive also ran jeff wards the US CHAMPION supermoto bike 3x, mine will smoke it in a straight line...ive got a bottle of n20 and i promise i could put a fight to ur 600RR my roomate has a 04 gsxr600 and i can smoke him for a few gears off a stoplight no prob but we've never ran longer, in a quarter mile i'd say you'll have him but only at the end....and you better stay on the hammer because hes gonna smoke you off the line if he knows what hes doing. ive been riding pro class motocross for a number of years.... if your 16 you dont have those years behind you, A...be careful ....B dont get caught doing this race! C....dont loop your bike over when u get frustrated watching him pull you off the line, cause im sure he will. It sounds like you shouldn't have made this bet.... usually someone who races supermoto has experience enough to have already done enough motox to try somethin new...the same kinda person that will make use of every single bit of power a bike has to offer....if i was you i'd back out....best of luck

my buddy mentioned somethin interesting....hes got a 450 for hilclimb championships...and it pushes 110hp naturally aspirated and guess what....it weighs alot less then ur bike does...we'll assume this kids bike isn't quite that hot.

If you have any skill at riding a bike desent then you will have no problem. The 450 will top out so damn fast he doesn't stand a chance. Like they said he will kick you as$ on the line but doesn't stand a chance in the quarter mile. My friend has a 450 and if is built up a little bit. He rides 250A class and I have a 600F3. I am a 125B rider. We have dragged them down the road a couple times. By the time I hit about 60mph and shifted to second I was with him. By the time I was at the end of a quarter mile he was not even close. Even if his gearing was different and he had street tires on he still would have no chance. A quarter mile is very long. To long for any motocross bike.

Dude, your 16, ON a 600RR.... You can't fold to peer pressure. This bike CAN kill you very easily if you havent had much time on it..... SO I suggest save it for another day, ITS not woth $500, Your LIFE that is... GET more time, more out of life before you get stupid on a HELL of a machine! Just some advice from an OLDER guy! BEE safe!

you sound like a little kid. the fact that you are bothered by this guy just shows how immature you are. be the bigger man and ignore his dumb ass. jebus! an 04 cbr600 at 16?!?! throwing around $500 like it was nothing??? am i the only one bothered by this?

I say with full leathers (or at least over the ankle boots, gloves, a leather jacket and riding pants of some kind), on at a controlled drag strip tell him to bring it on.

I hope your not one of those who races with tennis shoes, jeans, a wife beater and maybe a helmet at the local wear house complex at 3 in the morning.

who's this dude that wants to race you? hopefully someone you know that is just talking sh*#...go for a ride together...somewhere where you have a straight and just crack it hard in 2nd and he'll learn who's the man...

on the flip side...I just got my as5 handed to me...rode on the dirt for the first time on a little 70...went down so many times trying to keep up with the dude riding a 50...FUN and totally out of my element

you can show him with class that he is out of his element

I would have thought most people on this site would be around 18-28 years of age. But from what I hear it seems like most are 30+. Whats your age?

If what you say is true, that most of us on the forum are older and in our 30's, I say it is because the mean income for our age range is finally high enough to be able to "smartly" afford toys like motorcycles. I also believe, as a whole, our generation was the first to grow up with the internet and use it to compliment our hobbies. Back when I was younger, about 14, I remember using my Apple IIe and a modem to dial up an individual computer in order to access someone’s “bulletin board”. We didn't even call them forums then.
