i dont understand wtf is going on. is he a cop or what. i thought so from the siren sound and the lights. then at the end when he get the guy to stop he gives him a thumbs up. wtf is that. also im not all that impressed by a bike being able to keep up with a car especially in traffic.

edit - i went to the ghostrider site and checked out their forum. i dont understand y those euros are even tryin to type in english. they are totally ******* inaudible.

car by far... look at race track times for cars and bikes. Obviously there will be a cars that are slower then bikes but as you get better and better cars the bikes just can't keep up...

yea there is only so much speed u can acheive with a certain amount of grip and unfortunately motorcycles only have 2 wheels and the fatter the tires the harder they are to steer.

yeah regular production car vs regular production bike = bike wins

full race car vs full race bike = car wins.

why do production bikes have an advantage? production cars are heavily regulated for safety (adds weight) and emissions (cuts power). production bikes are practically race bikes with turn signals.

in a no rules no limit setting, cars always beat bikes. why? more traction for accel, decel, and cornering. not to mention better aerodynamics (lower drag, and bikes cant turn drag into downforce like cars can). and more room for a bigger engine. also since it doesnt lean it doesnt have to fight the gyroscopic forces that transverse mount engines produce on a bike.

pwnd.

sorry, i'm in a jackass mood from recovering from a weekend of debauchery. compare Formula 1 lap times to MotoGP lap times from the same circuit. I think the F1 cars are as much as 20 seconds faster depending on the track. Motogp has a displacement limit, but even if they were allowed more power it wouldnt help - they can't use all the power they make already.

a lot of it is going to depend on the track layout. Few turns with long straights the bike will be closer. Something like the 'ring bikes are minutes off of the pace because of so many turns....

Basically you're saying the longer the run, the farther away cars will pull away from bikes. yeah. Even on the straights the bikes don't have the advantage. I think F1 cars top out around 220-230mph, and the bikes are just breaking 200 on the same stretch.

Between fully prepped bikes and fully prepped cars there is no comparison.

F1 cars have 3-litre V10s with 900hp. No bike can touch that.
