Bike vs Car cornering speeds?

[Korea]

Don't know if anyone will ever answer that its pretty close thats for sure - would love to see a moto GP VS F1 car drag&track race.

Ask an Ye shall Receive! Actually, this has probably been posted in one of the many car Vs. bike threads, but in case you haven't seen it...

Schumacher in F1 Vs. Rossi in MotoGP. Acceleration, top speed, corner speed and lap times... bikes come 2nd on the track. T.T

On the road, I'll take an average bike any day... your average car is too bloody scary.

There is another vid I saw that had an F1 car, MotoGP bike and super boat lined up beside each other. In 3 races the F1 won 2 and the boat was ALWAYS the slowest. The bike won the 2nd race because the F1 driver balls up the start.

I SAW ONE LINK POSTED HERE WITH A GIXXER THOU VS LAMBO, THEY HAD THE SAME CORNER SPEED THROUGH MOST CORNERS WITH THE BIKE GETTING THE ACCELL AND THE SLIGHTLY LOWER TIME. THIS WAS ON STOCK SUSPENSION, SET UP FOR JAP MIDGETS ETC, NOTHING COULD BE CHANGED AT ALL, THE RIDER WAS A LARGER SIDE OF AVERAGE SIZED WHITE GUY FROM MEMORY. iNTERESTING.

Jeremy Clarkson raced a runner through the streets of London....and the runner won!

Just a point here. The thread is still topical of course But Korowetere was killed in a bike accident only a week or so after starting this thread

Why the budget carrera s and not the GT3 or turbo?

Sorry to hear the thread starter died. In his original post he said his cage would do 120 around 65k corners. On a sportsbike I think you need to double the suggested speed to even feel as though you are awake.

I raced a Murcielago in the Riverhead area and completely humiliated him. Flying past that screaming V12 was extremely satisfying. I'm equally sure if he let me have a go I could drive a VERY twisty road faster in the Lambo than I could ride the gixxer thou.

i think the real question should be.

what would YOU be faster in.

if you take my bike for example. which is probably a *little* above average in terms of performance and handling - compared to most bikes.

and you take my car (V6 Twin Turbo 4wd Mitsi) which is a little above average in terms of performance and handling - compared to most cars.

which do you think you would be quicker in?

I would put my money behind me in the car anyday of the week. But thats me. Because I suck at riding, but I am an alright driver. I reckon i would be gapping about 4-6 seconds a kilometer on myself.

what about you?

IF YOU WERE A GOOD RIDER YOU WOULD DICK THE LEGNUMB IN HIGH SPEED STUFF DUE TO STABILITY BUT THE 7R HANDLES LIKE A BOAT SLOWER SO YOU WOULD GET THE LEARN IN OTHER SITUATIONs.

My personal experience, I checked out the other day, my mini-run in my car (which had just had a service), it's a '95 toyota tercel 1300 (nothing special), and went on my mini-run around the hamilton zoo roads, i wasn't driving at my limit, but was keeping the car at a 'safe'-ish cornering speed, aka on the verge of losing slight amounts of traction, while noting corner speeds. on my bike (GF170, really slow, reviewer 1/4 mile in 21.01 seconds @ 97km/h), and was doing the same corners at 10 - 20km/h faster than the car. Here's my thoughts, considering I've been riding for just over 3 weeks, with 2 crashes (one my fault, one bike's fault), yet i've been driving for over 5 years, shared the lame boy-racing experience, done my deal of drifting, and am yet to have a car accident...
In conclusion, a slow stock car (no mods), vs a slow stock bike (on tubed tires no less): Bike is better!

well a gt3 would be great but i dont want a turbo because the 4wd isnt my stye, the gt3 would have to be the new 997 shape though and the new turbo hasnt been released yet. but a gt3 tuned by RUF or gemmbella or something of the sort would tickle my man stick really well

what about you?

The DT230 against the Pajero diesel turbo??? Well,I have to tow a 17 ft caravan tomorrow - I think I'll leave the bike at home....

lets take the aero dynamic aids off the F1 car shall we....then what happens?

it still has a extreme;y low center of gravity and heaps of rubber but it would be interesting, how bout a formula ford?

My 200HP Honda Prelude VS My 45 HP CBR250RR
1/4mile
14.86 14.3 (both should be quicker but were running on crap days at the strip)

0-100
6.2 5.0

Braking and cornering
The car is better on the street but they would be similar on the track because you don't need to leave the same margin for error. You have to be more careful on a bike on the street. However the bike can go about twice as fast when going straight through round abouts due to the skinny line of the bike.
