I know I will probably get quite a few different opinions about this topic but the question popped into my head and I hope to find a half decent answer anyways.
So, at the local drag strip I participated in racing against my friend who rides a 05 GSXR-600RR who is not a bad rider at all. For a 1/4Mi race we were dead even. I know he has full exhaust, PCIII, and up three teeth in the back(why not the front? I don't know). I know I have over twice the displacement as his bike, but the weight difference is significant. The only bike I have ridden 2 up is the FJR, and I know it's still fast. My question concerns the liter bikes and the busa/zx14. They are obviously faster than the FJR, I know this from experience and any of you guys who ride those bikes. So... take your liter bike and a FJR, throw a person on the back of each and what happens? How much does a second rider impact performance on a regular sportbike?
