Can a motorbike out brake a car?

This YouTube clip came up out of another thread and makes a lot more valid points than that with the Lambo'.

Good video Naki Rat.
Says it all, and is VERY Fair.

All of you who think your bike can out brake a car.... Well, put it this way:

NO BLOODY WONDER WE KEEP CRASHING!!!!!!!

Well that's a high tech street-sports Skyline GT-R. I wonder if Buell could out brake a Corolla.

Maybe if you slam the brakes on as hard as possible and it flicks out instantaneously, but on the track (and road a couple of times) with progressive but hard braking, I have had the front start to tuck, ease of the brake a tad and it comes back into line.

Edit - oh, this is braking into a corner so might be a slightly different scenario.

Oh FFS!
The reality is the Skyline will not actually brake "that" much better than the Corolla....
Just like an 09 Gixxr 1000 will not brake "that" much better than an 82 GS1000.

There will be metres in it.
The truth is there is more than just a few metres between a car and a bike when it comes to ability to stop!

It all comes down to physics.... friction/ transfer of energies etc.... etc....
Remember there is a huge contact area of rubber on the road in a car.. Alas your bike doesn't have this....

That woiuld depend a lot on the GS having 'near new' (good condition) brakes though eh ?

I rode an 86 Gixxer 1100 a few years back and the brakes were absolute crap. I couldn't believe how quick White Trash was on it over the Taka's, maybe that's why, cause he had f all brakes to slow him down LOL

test i quoted in a thread about the vmax:

emergency stop from 100kph:
2009 CBR600rr (with ABS) = ~41.7m
2007 Mazda 3 GSX hatch = ~32m

(also saw another test with a CBR1000rr - no abs = ~39m)

GT-R from memory was just over 30m
