i was on a ride today with a bunch of guys and a zx-12 and a gsxr 1000 took off so i wanted to see how long i could keep up with them. at 160 indicated we come upon a very small bridge like thing that none of us saw from the distance because we were going so fast. well i went over it and my front tire went about 10 to 12 inches off the ground and my back went about 4 to 6. at that speed without the dampner who knows what would have happend. as far as keeping up with them i was very suprised at how well the 6 did. they were ahead but not by much at all.
