Bike vs Car cornering speeds?

[metric]

interesting 'vtec'

would love to take both my gti-r & my zxr250 down the quarter mile...

as I understand my gti-r pulsar can do 0-100 in 5.2 sec but I don't know how fast my bike does it... feels about the same

anyone got reliable stat's for a '90 zxr250 0-100kph?

[ducatilover]

metric- your zxr250 should crack 100 in just under six seconds and the quarter would be 14s

that sad he crashed and died. bitter irony may be?

But that car was going flat tack, and taking on everything in his path. He was not slow by any means. But, the bike had his knee down, yeah, but he didn't know the race was on.. Hell, I can get my knee down on the mini moto, don't mean nothing. I've nearly gone up the back of a rider who had his knee down, and I didn't.. Getting your knee down doesn't mean you're going as hard as you can. Just means you're getting yourself off..

Man, just been reading this thread and there are some good laughs in here.

Yep, getting your knee down means nothing. I've nearly run up the arse of bikers getting there knees down on lots of occassions and I'm sitting on a quarter tonne GSX1400!!!

ZXR250A/C model will do 5 secs 0-100 and 14 sec 400's, slightly better top end on the C model zxr than the A model and (C) better than the RR's again.

I'm keen to take mine on the track, but yes I have seen zxr250 time sheets at 14 sec.

EDit: What beyond said about kneedown in most cases is true, I'm slower kneedown than up although it provides better stability and that's about it... at this level lol.

that suzuki riders not bad!

Ain't that a fact. Do they hang off to make themselves harder to pass?

Thats cause you concentrating on getting your knee down not the corner speed and line. I feel safer hanging off the inside of the bike and can comfortably go quicker like that but my knee is a kilometre or so off the deck.

best time at tok drags last year was a 11.9 sec,99 zx6r with 100whp and i weigh in at 105kg,bike cost 7.5k,only a couple of very hot rotors and v8s were faster and they would cost a small fkin fortune....

[mdb]

Hmmm, dunno what to think, R1 beaten by a Porsche, 999 beats a Lambo ... maybe I should pick on something less super car-ish!

A zxr can do 100 in less than 6 secs? Really????? What horse are they?

[ducatilover]

im sure they do it in just under six

they are a claimed 45hp@crank but im told its less than that. id rather have a vt250 spada any day. produces more torque and has an extremely flat torque curve

5.0 and I reckon I could get under that with a peeerfect launch. Moving 5-10kmh it gets to 75k (1st gear redline) in 2.9secs..... timed that before off an audio clip.

Power:
Mine was dyno'd running rich and needing a tune at 36ps rear wheel. I'm going to get it tuned again and see what it does. Has new carbs (20000kms ago) and race pipe.. that's it. More torque than a RR (25ish as opposed to 20ish) but dunno what on rear wheel. Ain't much of a diff riding the two, pretty similar power delivery except down low.
