As most of you know, ive been putting a lot of time and parts into my car lately and its finally paying off. On the long drive to my fiances house last night i ran into one of these http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/machine/m ... 0s_replika . I was messing around with the guy just gating it past him, nothing major. We get to a lot straight section of the highway and no cars are around. He's at my door at this time, he looks over at me, drops a gear and hammers it at 70mph. I drop into 3rd and slam the pedal. From 70-125 the only gain he got on me was the jump at first, as it took me a half second to shift into third and wait for the monster to spool up. At 125 he looks back expecting to see me a mile behind....you can imagine the look on his face when i was in the same spot we started in lol. He just looked so shocked. After that i wanted to get another run from 70 with me talking the jump this time, but he didnt want to mess around anymore hehe. I guess i wouldnt either if i spent 15k on a BMW bike that could beat a dodge colt. :D

Edit: Im currently at 14psi as well

I raced a harley with my mirage. The harley got the jump and as I was realing him in as I noticed the ligth turned red up ahead, neither one of us let off .I slammed on the breaks after passing him and managed to come to a stop just before the light. The harley on the other hand was halfway thru the intersection before stopping. I guess thier brakes are a good match for thier power/performance.
