the 954 couldn't hang

met some guy 2day close to where i live and we decided to go do some riding, long story short we decided 2 line them up. He was on an 03' Honda 954 and i'm thinking this dudes gonna rip me to shreds, and so it began. a total of 6 dead stop drags and he only got me one time b/c i missed 2nd, the other five times i was puttin about 4 bikes on him and the distance was just shy of a 1/4 mile, but i felt like the man today..my 03' alstare 600 tearin up that 954....felt good it's been a while since i had some good street runs. i'm still smilin over the whole thing, i'm sure all my mods helped me out too especially my gearing changes, or maybe i was just the better rider 2day. just thought i'd share my story...later bro's, KRUM :D IT WAS A SUZUKI DAY DOWN HEAR :thumbup:

That just proves my point. Hondas are GHABBAGE!!!!!!!!!!! 954's really arent that fast. Everybody thinks they are but they arent. Great job though, showin up a liter class bike on a 'lil gixxer. :laughingr :thumbup:

954 are fast and you would be surpise on with a decent rider they can be (had one 929) Way to go RKRUMMEL make him goto the drawing board re-evaluate him self :arsenal

that right there proves it, Suzukis are the best. way to go krum.

it just proves that he is a dumb ass and doesn't belong on a 1K and that you have some skill...

thanks fellas...i'm gonna see if he wants to ride sunday and if he wants to go at it again...either way it was fun ass hell.

tell him that's why superman wears an S on his chest :thumbup:

tell him that's why superman wears an S on his chest :thumbup: LOL.. thats a good one. I will have to use that the next time I spank a bike that is not a suzuki.

tell him that's why superman wears an S on his chest :thumbup: i think i will bust that on him if i sweep him again. :rofl:

nice. were u jus gettin him off the line ?

i'm going to meet up w/ him in a few minutes for some twisty action, then maybe some more racing. K....i would put about a half a bike on him in the first 30 feet and after that the gap would always open so i'd say i was ahead of him at just about all times. the only 2 times that i wasn't was the time i missed 2nd and one time he put about a bike on me off the jump and i had caught him by about 70mph, coming outta first and then finished about 20 feet infront of him.

we hit some twisties 2day fun as hell i must say, i almost smoked a racoon, that might have sucked. anyway to the issue at hand. He brought it up this time and wanted to do some more friendly racing and we wen't to an abandoned personal airport about 25 minutes outside of the city. it's where all the imports race so they had 1/4 mile lines sprayed out, it was pretty sweet i had never actually been there b4. we only got to do 4 runs. 1st three runs i crossed first by about one bike lenght, a half bike and then about too bikes infront, so i was feeling good. we would shoot the breeze and let the bikes cool down b4 attempting more runs. 4th run...He got the jump on me off the line and we where about 1/2 way down the run and he was about a bike infront of me but i was coming up on him quick and then blam i blew passed him like he was setting still, I got to the end of the run and was turning around and i seen him toss his helmet about 30 feet threw the air, so i cruised back over and seen what had happened...his chain popped and when it did it flew up and demolished the lower part of his fairing, that was gonna be a close race, i felt bad for him so i called my buddy w/ the truck to come and pick the bike up for him and get it back to his house...so all in all i'm still beating an 03' 954 which is awesome for me and i've got a new riding buddy as soon as he gets his bike back up to par. Just thought i'd share my updated story w/ yall and now i'm going to finish watching the saints game....later bro's....KRUM :burnout:

Sounds like some fun there, That just shows how much of a better rider you are! :thumbup: :clap:

Sounds like some fun there, That just shows how much of a better rider you are! :thumbup: :clap: LIKE SKI SAID plus you can thank your gearing that you got him like that too

Sounds like some fun there, That just shows how much of a better rider you are! :thumbup: :clap: I like to hope so, i need to get some more track days in as well before winter sets in, gotta stay sharp in the twisties...it seemed like he wasn't too much on me in the twisties either, who knows it was all fun ass can be. send the 954's my way :thumbup: ....later bro's, KRUM

can anyone go to the airport or is it private property?

can anyone go to the airport or is it private property? it's closed down...abandoned, you cant go to a regular airport...this was just a personel airport.

Shut up fool you did too :thefinger :fu: :2hard until it is replaced, I'll continue to consider myself a honda rider :thefinger

Something was deffinatly wrong with that 954 or the rider. I had a 929 and it was fast as hell with 129hp out of the box at the rear tire. Now the 954 has ten more hp at the rear wheel and is noticably faster. If you beat him on a 600, he was a really bad rider and/or that 954 was having major engine problems. Trust me, a gix 750 of the same year was just bearly fast enough to keep up with a 954 from a dead start. Just look at the difference in torque between the 954 and the 750...or the 600!! You race his 954 and let him race your 600 and then see where you end up. 04 750 has 127hp at rear wheel. 2002 CBR954RR Dyno http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/dyno-2002-hon-cbr954rr.gif 2003 600cc bikes dyno http://www.sportrider.com/features/146-0306-comp-hp-zoom.jpg

I've raced a busa when I was on an F4i and I stomped the busa, thats exactly why we all said that it was rider skill. Good job krum, Like moto said, it just proves that he is a dumb ass and doesn't belong on a 1K and that you have some skill

sup fellas...just got back from Vegas, was out there for 5 days....married man!!! just thought i'd pop back in on this thread to say wassup...damn it was cold out there and it's a week of rain here, no riding for 2 weeks...ouch....and as for that dyno posted up there nice work...nice to know someone is keepin up w/ those things...but as i stated, the 954 still couldn't hang!!! :arsenal ......later bro's>>>>>KRUM :thumbup:

did you JUST get married? congrats mang i'm stoned BTW :thumbup:

:thumbup: congrats

did you JUST get married? congrats mang i'm stoned BTW :thumbup: yup, got married while we where out there, been 2geteher for 5 years and finally tied the knot. thanks everyone.....later bro's, KRUM :thumbup:

if you're beating his 954 with a gix 6 there's got to be something wrong with his bike. Either that or he's just very unfamiliar with the clutch. Ya, you should be happy that you beat a 954 but still, if you go up against a properly working one with a expirienced rider you're going to get smoked. I beat a guy on a 03 gsx-r 600 with my 01 katana 600, ya, a katana. I can only pull about 12.0's or so but this guy stunk so I wipped him. Now should I say that my katana is faster than ALL 600's, obviously no, it's just faster than that 600 with that rider. And as far as reliabiliy goes nothing beats a Honda, for stunting the 954 is the best you can get, they just keep on going.

And as far as reliabiliy goes nothing beats a Honda, for stunting the 954 is the best you can get, they just keep on going. u missed the point, i never once said my 600 was faster, i just said that the 954 got spanked again and again, there is nothing wrong w/ his bike he just doesn't ride like me, and u proved this with your katana statement, if you read this whole thread it all states its the rider not the bike, not to say that my gearing, racing exhaust and racing cams didn't help...but it's my ability to ride better than him....read before you post, you just added to what everyone else has allready said.

krum, just give up. we obviously have people here that are illiterate :lol:

:funny: :laughingr :clap:

You know there is not a better feeling than beating someone with a bigger bike than yours!! You know what I never understood is why people in cars feel the need to race me. I mean come on, your really not going to win!! Keep up the good riding!! :thumbup:

Nice Job Krum, wich tires are U using, can we have a nice pic off those nice ripped edge worn tires....??? :thumbup:

Hehe, my bad, I just read the first post or three before replying, didn't feel like reading 5 pages worth. From the first post I thought that you might be saying that the BIKES were equal, and I just wanted to clarify. And yes, if I had read the rest of the posts then I probably wouldn't have posted. Sorry if i came off as defensive, I thought you were a squid that thought 600's were faster than 954's. Good job beating him. You'll have to go against my Kat sometime.

krum? a squid? (he is a little slow) but not a squid :laughingr

it's cool josh...and thanx moto you always know how to comfort me :lol: wait what where we talking about.....j/k :D

it's cool josh...and thanx moto you always know how to comfort me :lol: wait what where we talking about.....j/k :D glad i could help :thumbup: :lol:

so do the yosh race cams help a lot. im thinking of doing a port and polish and im wondering if it would be worthwhile to add the cams while im at it.

so do the yosh race cams help a lot. im thinking of doing a port and polish and im wondering if it would be worthwhile to add the cams while im at it. if your already going to polish the ports i would definetly throw in a set of yosh cams, the diffrerence they make is unbelievable, if ya got the spare change add em its def worth the money!!!! :thumbup:

what kind of power gains did you notice? where did the cams move your powerband to? and also how did they affect the bikes performance for everyday riding

to add about the cams have you dynoed your bike (with/with out cams?) also whats the site you got those from???(how much$$ if you dont mind me askin)

to add about the cams have you dynoed your bike (with/with out cams?) also whats the site you got those from???(how much$$ if you dont mind me askin) the difference it made was amazing, it's more so mid-range power, pulling that front wheel up at 90mph, as for the dyno i haven't had a chance to get it back over there since the installation, but i should have some results by early april, as for where to get them, any local bike shop can order them threw yosh and there gonna run about $750.00 (cams) and if you get them to do the install that oughta be about another $400.00, simple weekend project to tackle yourself though. later bro, KRUM :thumbup:

readin this thread made me think of this kid my buddy used ride withs 01-02 ish harley soft tail. he had some work done and he could hang bike to bike with a 954 until about 130 and the honda would start to gain. from what i understand the kid on the 954 was a fairly seasoned rider to.

That just proves my point. Hondas are GHABBAGE!!!!!!!!!!! 954's really arent that fast. Everybody thinks they are but they arent. Great job though, showin up a liter class bike on a 'lil gixxer. :laughingr :thumbup: :arsenal WELL, here is my story and this happend just this weekend, I have a 02 954 with a full hindle exhaust(no other mods) and i whipped the brakes off the 05 750 zuki with a rider who supposed to have more riding time than me...i have over 20 yrs riding plus i'm overweight, he is about 2 yrs younger plus about 50 lbs lighter and i pulled him all day thru curves & straightaways. He might have gotten left even further but i run into traffic, i look down once and i was at unlegal speeds and all i saw was a small light.....if u need proof, i'll get another zuk rider to vouch he rides an 01 1000 and he will not pull beside me..but I understand he's only had his bike 1 yr . :rofl: moral: Never put down a liter bike, it is capable even if the rider is not...it's the rider not the bike...even thosev 600 are wickedly fast,and u will get surprised as to how fast.
