Default raced a bike

ok, today, i raced a motorcycle. i have no clue what kind it was bc i have no clue about bikes. but, it was a nice looking bike with a 20ish year old looking guy riding it. it wasnt a nice R1 style ninja bike but it wasnt a big heavy Harley either...it was somewhere in between. he pulled up beside me at a stop sign and my top was down and my friend was with me and looked over at him and nodded with this smerk on his face to let the biker know what was up. i revved at him in first and he revved back and we were off! i left VERY easy, like i would leave a normal stop sign but right when my gear caught i gunned it. needless to say by the time i hit mid 3rd he quit trying as he fell back 5-6 cars (thats like 15 bikelengths!!!) i should tell him i beat him by 15 lengths. anyways, i turned after that and never got a chance to talk to him. i wouldve liked to have known what kind of bike it was, to see if it was a fast one or not but o well. first race with a bike, nonetheless, went well!

It sounds like you raced a new GSXR1000 with a decent rider, or maybe a 600 with a real good rider. Great kill.

Only possible if you were racing against an old 200cc or something similiar. A bike that has even close to 600cc's will leave you in it's dust in a second.

Are you sure he didn't have some pedals on it or a hamster wheel for a motor?

hahaha no it was a nice bike. but i know it wasnt as fast as a GSXR1000! i t didnt have that nice sound to it. im sorry i suck when it comes to bikes but the really fast bikes have that loud whiny sound kinda like a f1 car. this car sounded somewhat like the chopper bikes but with more zip. it was a good looking bike but a GSXR1000 might leave Sideways in the dust!!

I didn't know the Veyron came in convertible form. That is what the OP was driving, isn't it?
