I never race with bikes because I do not recognise them quickly enough.
Also if they want to race they are pretty sure of their chances
and if by chance I win against one, its is either a small bike or a poor driver. Both doesn't worth my licence.

I dont know anything about bikes. I was a huge racing bike with a rear tyre the size of a tractor and 2 exhausts bigger than mine.

on a serious note guys, you should try a go on a superbike anything 750 or over it really will blow your mind. even if its just down the straights, its awesome. the busa is approx 10 secs to 150 and still pulling real hard, i still love my fast cars though!

he wasnt even trying around corners a car will hold the advantage but down the straights a powerful bike will blow any supercar away the acceleration figures on some bikes are just down right scary

I own an Exige and a Suzuki TL1000R superbike
A quick car will generally get off the mark a little quicker than the bike
Because the bike can’t get the power down without launching the front 6 feet of the ground.
But after that the car’s history in terms of acceleration
The Exige feel’s very slow in comparison.

Suzuki 130 Hp at the rear wheel and weighs 197 kg
Exige 190Hp and weighs 800+ Kg

Its the power of the Moto GP bikes which staggers me.

250 bhp in a bike weighing about 150kg

Unbelievable

A bike will not stand a chance around the corners compared to a decent handling car. In a straightline the bike will be gone no doubt about it.
