Some very slightly modified 600's with good riders can run strong 9's there is a dedicated championship for them

I think my ZX6r Ninja was quoted at around 10.9 to 11 quarter (127 ish mph terminal) when it was reviewed in Superbike many years ago and yet I've run it against a 400bhp RB'd RS13 and they were perfectly matched on a rolling start 30 to 130mph sprint. Didn't quite believe it so repeated it with me driving the car and the other person riding the bike and the result was exactly the same.
You don't need a massive amount of power to stay with a 600 sportsbike from a rolling start. A 500ish hp GTR would do it I'd imagine.
Big bore bikes are going to need a lot more power, completely different animal.
