Yamaha FZR vs R6?

I have a 1994 Yamaha FZR 1000 with low miles, a D%26amp;D complete exhaust, power commander (vance %26amp; hines), jets and a K%26amp;N filter. My friend is buying a stock 2000 Yamaha R6. He says his 600 will smoke my "old" 1000. Even though I have more power, his is lighter. How much of a difference does the weight make. We're talking maybe 100lbs. Anybody know which will be faster?Yamaha FZR vs R6?
He may beat you off the line, but the powers of your bike will be greater than his. More than likely if you know how to ride it you wouldnt be "smoked". If you have ever heard of a show called PINKS on speedvision, they had a race very similar to this and the "old" bike won.
Your FZR should take it, as long as it running as it shouldYamaha FZR vs R6?
is this a straight line race, or will you be on a track, on curvy roads? where?



on a dragstrip, it is all about reaction time. On a roadrace course, it is the rider, not the bike.



offer to race him for pinks. make him put his money where his mouth is.
Well it's obvious where the horse power plays in this race the FRZ will smoke the R6 in a flat out 1/4mile straight (or longer), however you put your money on the R6 in a curvey mountain road. The R6's lighter structure and high-end torque will blow the wheels on the "old" 1000. So with that said I guess you both win. But, I bet my 06 suzuki SV650S will smoke them both!Yamaha FZR vs R6?
