cars vrs bikes

Me and me mate where on about this the other day . what sort of power do you need to be able to have a play with a bike say a 600 or sumit . bit clueless on bikes sorry hense why im a sking . just a bit of random daft chat

Well look at top gear,aerial atom beat a 600cc bike round the track,straight line your buggered

Straightline speed most sportsbikes will own scoobies, chuck in a few corners and you may have a race but realistically you cant compare bikes and cars. on a track a fast car will beat a fast bike due to corner speed but on roads the bike will just out maneouver a car through traffic if the car doesnt kill the bike rider.

Some bikers would race cars but most wouldnt bother, its just too dangerous.

most 600 sportsbikes will do 0-60 in around 3 seconds and hit a hundred in 7 secs so you would need a canny scoob to keep up in a straightline.

buddy i owned a 420bhp astra with 100bhp of nos if we were rolling from both 40 and 60 straight line private driveway called a182 it was very close me only winning due to him slowing at 160. any slower i had traction problems and race was over before it started lol

ive had a few sportsbikes over the years ( fireblade,r6, gsxr750 ect) and never had any problem getting away from anything but not many people had a go.
got a 1200 bandit now which is a bit of a bus in comparson but up to 120 it feels easy as quick as all the sportsbikes ive had.
had a race with a new porsche 911 turbo thingy a few weeks back on the way back from alston. round the corners i couldnt even get near him ended up being a bit stupid trying to catch him considering there was still snow on the side of the road! he eventually got stuck behind a car so caught him up then thought i could just breeze by on the next straight.
again couldnt get past him was shocked how quick it was !
i then gave up and tryed to get some feeling back in my hands off the cold haha.

Take a look at this video on YouTube:

Nice, but stick the modified gtr against a modified busa turbo and it might be different

Sorry like but the bike would defo win!! You here him drop off the throttle!! You do realise the top speed recorded is over 270mph on one of those!!

That subaru sounds awesome aswell

My mate has a r6 and can't keep up with my 418bhp type r. On the staights it's neck and neck but sooner or later there's a corner and after them I'm slowing down waiting for him to catch up.

What about an R1 or a Gsx 1000 ?

I've had a good play with a sports bike from Alston Back to Hexham when I had my TVR, I got away on the corners, he caught me on the straights, luckily there's more corners than straights very lucky to have had a clear road ahead too so was flat out most of the way. Left his mates for dead and he pulled me over to compliment me on the driving.

However that was in a car that weighed a smidge over 1000kg and had a 4.0 straight six racing engine under the bonnet, 340bhp/360ftlb torque ish

A mildly tuned 2005 gxr1000 will do 173mph flat out seen them on the dyno top speed run, my thunderace which is 16 ya old did 176 and its geared down on original gearing shud do 180-185 flat out,
Just short of 110 in 2nd gear

Never owned a powerful bike, but Drews monster and a few others are one off's, a bike will do any car, power to weight ratio and all that, lets b thankful for roundabouts, in the real world, THE MADMAN WILL ALWAYS WIN.

Jurgens (JM Imports) old RX7 was a superbike racer, was a canny tool that.

My mates modded 300zx was also a good bike chaser, gets a tadge naughty/lairy/dangerous in excess of 150mph on the private sections on the A19

My old stripped 419bhp classic had no problems with R1's @ 60 + was great fun watching them try there hardest lol

Had some nice encounters

Been in a RX7 killer vrs a R1, RX was awsome machine, shame mr P killed it in several weeks




Deffo the best thing i've been in .

Raced a old fzr 600 back from whitby a few year ago and passed him doing 145, he was laid on the tank trying to get the most out of it, and i was in a remapped wagon. He was well surprised. Also on the other hand had a lotus elise try to race me on guis by pass on my r1 so passed him on the back wheel at well over a ton. He soon backed off lol.
