1994 v-max 500 beating my 97 zr 580?

any possible way it could go 120 mph. like he said it was bored out maybe to 600? and he said it was pretty much stock.

but i don't belive him, lol he thinks he can beat my 1997 zr 580!!

considering my uncles vmax 600 is slower than a zr580 i say you should be able to beat him down.

My 1996 ZR580 beats my brothers 1996 vmax XT600. You should have no problem beating him and i doubt it will go 120.

No way in hell either one of those sleds are coming any where near 120 mph.zr 580-100mph maybe and the v max 500-90 mph maybe.

Like I said in the other post. My V Max blew the snot out of my neighbors zr580, and his was studded. But 120mph? NFW!!!

The only chance it would have of going 120 is if it was being towed by a mach Z
