    You guys are debating something based solely on bias and not the actual physics.

    Fact: Bikes can corner better than car!

    Why? Because the relative mass between testicular liquid on bike is better than on car.

    Because of that, intra-testicular gland liquid flow greatly affects the bike when cornering, due to the liquid shloshes here and there, adding to the wheel traction.

    In car, however, the flow does not have any effect. That's why small-penis people rather have flashy cars than bike due to inability to control the cornering because they do not have enough glandular effect.

    See my postings on Wheelies/Stoppies thread as well.

    Testicular Liquid (TM) is the answer to everything, including why Space Shuttle needs so much thrust to escape the Earth's gravity (and why they put women astronauts, to keep the number of Testicular pairs down and reduce thrust requirements)

    That's the best explanation I've seen so far

    I have an rg150 and have been riding for less than a month. Today I had two cars racing each other come up behind me, I slowed down and waved them passed. After they passed I hit the gas to see if i could keep up, soon we reached a few posted 25-35 corners which i had to slow down so I didn't run up the back of the cars but when we passed those corners the cars ended up leaving me for dead. I admit i'm not a great rider and I don't know the skill level of the drivers but it seems to me that bikes can hit the real tight corners better than cars because we just don't have the weight or size that cars do but when it comes to faster corners, cars have it but real fast corners I think bikes and fAST cars are equal. Just my 2 cents

    RACE SOME RICH FUCKS IN PORSCHES THRU RIVER HEAD ROAD 2 EASY , THEY WERE RACING EACHOTHER I OVER TOOK PULLED OVER , OVER TOOK AND PULLED OVER A FEW MORE TIMES SERIOUSLY TO EASY , ROUND CORNERS DOWN THE STRAIGHTS IT DOESNT MATTER , SOME PEOPLE ON BIKES THINK THEIR FAST SO WHEN THEY GET BEATEN BY A CAR THEY THINK THE CAR IS FAST , DEPENDS ON THE CIRCLES YOU RIDE IN AND THE CALIBRE OF RIDER YOU RACE AND PRACTICE WITH , SADLY SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE ONLY SEEN HOW SLOW A BIKE CAN BE NOT HOW FAST IT CAN BE .

    How does a modern sportsbike compare to a car for cornering in the tight stuff?
    ROFL you think a skyline handles !!! I have a Wrx Sti Type R coupe with adjustable platform suspension, not to mention its 4wd and has an adustable center differential, for a cage it handles like it is part of the road. its juuuuuuust about back on the road with a new top secret motor, hopefully on friday if i get time to put the engine back. My zx9 wood whoop it in most corners but theres the odd extra tight one like the over 90 degrees one in between orere and kawakawa bay that i personally could go faster round in the car , maybe someone else might be able to on a bike, but the sub i just throw it round 4 rally styles

    lol a GTR may handle ....

    That's nice.

    I haven't driven a WRX so can't really comment on whose cage is better than the other or debate between different brands of rice burners. What I would say is that my GTST is better than 95% of cars on the road in the handling stakes, and that's stock.

    The point of the the thread was, how does this compare to bikes.

    I know and i did give a comparison later on, what i am trying to say is a skyline is a bad comparison as they handle like a boat.

    Hard to say on the road as so many variables, but Top Gear did a race tween a R1 and a car, (can't remember what car!) and the car beat the bike by 3/4 sec on the lap. Acceleration no contest, the bike creamed the car, (Porsche? Anyone remember?) but braking and cornering went to the car.

    Couple of short points...

    1. Holy caps lock, batman (Re: WINJA's posts)!

    2. Just for clarification, the F1 engine has been (for the last several years) a 3.0 litre normally aspirated V10 which revs (depending on builder) out to around 19,000 rpm. For next season, the regulations have been altered to have a 2.4 litre normally aspirated V8 engine, primarily to reduce the speeds the cars have been getting to over the last couple of seasons. They also say that this will reduce the massive costs involved in F1, but that remains to be seen as builders will pour just as much money into any new engine.

    Disclaimer: Just putting the right information out there, to help the knowledge levels of those professing to know but haven't Google'd it first
