Watchmeister Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I am on the side of the motorcycle. Anyone can drive a car. A motorcycle is a whole other story. Unfortunately no more track days for me. Those reflexes have slowed down just that tad too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I think regardless of the driver of the car, it has no chance against a bike. Now maybe if it was a Rebel 250...maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Are you asking which would win or which I would rather have ?? answer to the first is obvious.. answer to the second is just as obvious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 No miracle, if they only used a real performance car driver... ... the bike wouldnd have a chance. Actually in the video they used a world champion race car driver and a random test rider for Ducati. The horsepower to weight ratio is always just too much in favor of a bike. With my 98 ZZR1100 which you can now buy for $5k I can leave any car under $150k in the dust. Well, maybe not in winter time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Your everyday basic 125 will leave most cars for dead at light changes. Give the Ferrari a mile or 2 of straight road and then see where the bike is. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Your everyday basic 125 will leave most cars for dead at light changes. Give the Ferrari a mile or 2 of straight road and then see where the bike is. This is a fun challenge, it gets picked up again every couple of years. Google around and try to find the video of the twin turbo, 900hp Viper vs. Kawasaki ZX-12R vs. turbo Hayabusa. It's about 20 minutes long. I won't tell you who wins.

JoJo35 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 A few years back, a good friend of mine who was one of the top open class amateur bike racers in the NE told me that he was rip'n around Bridgehampton one day, when he looked in his mirror and saw a car. He told me that he couldn't believe how fast it had caught up and passed him. When it boils down to it, a bike could never beat the right car on a track.
