I got smoked by an old man in a built Z06 Corvette one time back in the day on my Kawi.ZX10R. 180hp liter bike. I always thought no cars could mess with a liter bike on the highway....boy was I wrong. I stayed in his back pocket with him gradually pulling away, up to around 180mph and knew I had less than 10 mph left before speed limiter kicked in so I let off, it was absolutely ridiculous how fast he left me once I backed off the throttle.Today, got smoked by an AMG GTC. Dang those are fast. Not sure my Interceptor 1000 would have kept up. But due to the 100k$ difference i don't feel too bad.
There were several in our crew riding together that day, ended up parked at a popular gas station for bikes to hang out on weekends in Chattanooga TN on Brainerd Road, couple hours after the Vette incident, the same Vette pulled in that gas station and over to where we were parked. Guy got out was at least 60-70 yrs old. He said "was one of yall the one that was running with me on the freeway earlier?" I said "yep....." lol. Anyways, we talked and he was talking about how he just got it out of the shop with all new upgraded suspension but never mentioned what was done under the hood. The whole deal was just cool to me. Glad I got to talk to him, I'll never forget that incident. Lol
