    I pulled a car length on an r1 with 2 people on it before he made me have to squint to read his license plate after a couple hundred feet...

    Bloody merkins are obsessed with straightline shit. Bikes are about CORNERS.

    Cars > Bikes round bends - always. Corners definately build for bikes though - so much fun!

    Them folks in the US of A do seem to be somewhat obsessed with straightline stuff - their cars always get ragged on TOPGEAR.

    We won't get into this debate yet again.
    But I wasn't talking about speed, I was talking about fun.

    i have an 89 GT 5.0 back home .. built for 1/4 mile drags .. she will hold with a Busa no problem..

    yes shes heavily modified vs a stock Busa .. got about $8000 US in the drivetrain and another $3000 in the frame and suspension .. paid $14000 for the car new


    cant and wont turn with any sports bike but the G forces coming off the line will pull the wrinkles out of a hippo

    ANY car, I guess it's all the steering-wheel twirling, rowing the gearstick, bracing yourself etc, all seems like there's a lot more big movements going on compared to the changing of gear, braking etc on a bike.

    Need to take my little FTO for a blart through the twisties some day.

    It's quite a fun car to drive - as far as fiddling with the controls - I find shifting gear can be done totally on autopilot. (it's a manual before you ask - I can drive - I don't need a machine to tell me what gear to be in!)

    I'm still learning to ride twisties at pace on the bike having been in the saddle for only 4 & 1/2 months.

    From a standing start my 250cc VTR ripped some kid in a 300bhp Skyline the other week though. Power to weight ratio is everything.
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    That vid on the 'vette v R1 is an interesting study of power to weight v aerodynamics.
