Depends............


Is your R1 blue?

 

Beyond 150mph the poor aerodynamics of motorcycles will play the decisive role (in favour of cars)
Below 150mph the better hp/weight ratio of motorcycles will give you an advantage.

I know someone with a TT Viper that can eat most turbo Busa's so he would make short work of an R1. No matter what you have there is always going to be someone faster.

 

Funny This thread has come up, co a friend of mine lst nite laid down a challenge to me, he has a 1000bhp nissan slyline R34, He Confident And Has Every right Too be lol, but im gonna give it pretty dam good go!

 

Well, look at it this way...

R1 does the quarter in the mid 9's for a really REALLY good rider. Lets say mid 10's for average riders who enjoy their rides.

All you have to do is check out various forums to see what the cars pulls in the quarters. There are PLENTY of fast cars out there. You just havent met them on the road yet.

When you do, you will be amazed that something that big ( heavy ) can power past you.

Its just a matter of time.

No kidding? Who is it? That kind of car is pretty rare - is he on the GTR UK site?

Aski him what his username is, and we might see some pics of his beast.

 

Yes there are some pretty damn quick cars out there and a lot of them would beat bikes in corners too but hey I reckon bikes are a lot more fun :scared

doesnt the R1 have 3 times the power to weight ratio than the dodge viper?

 

.

Never seen a Skyline on the streets here.

 

I look at it like this, a liter bike costs 12k? a car to beat a liter bike needs to be 90-100 K minimum.... good value

For some reason I just think this is a terrible comparison. Who cares about he prices your comparing apples to oranges. 90-100k minimum? Try about half that price if that.:beer

 

:hellobye I can testify about the Lamborghini being faster! HAHAHAHA But it was soooo worth it, I love those cars...

Sure power to weight is important, but at some point aero will become more of a factor, and whether or not your gearing will allow you to go much faster.

I've been up against many of those cars and flat out smoked them on my stock bikes. Some of the drivers weren't ballsy enough to push it that hard and some just couldn't flat out drive. It works the same way for riders as well, I see a lot of guys getting beat when they shouldn't have, they just can't ride and/or are scared.

I've beaten guys with 800HP Supras, Vipers, Vettes, Mustangs, etc. Usually around 150 I stop pulling on them and by 165 they start to catch back up.

As stated there's always someone faster, there's guys out here with 500HP Busas and 1200HP Supras.

 

first of all...the guy on the r1 sucked...so if thats how you ride then you'll get beat too.
i've beaten a modena who had the jump on me. porsche turbo, Z06, modded supra...all beaten.
it all depends on the ridah...if you're afraid to wring on the throttle, you will get beaten.

if you suck...you'll get beaten by some pimpled face kid in a civic.

I hear he in fact roasts stock Busa's but admitted the only Turbo Busa he raced was a guy who couldn't ride very well...

I am with you on this one. If you ride shit you also get arrested!

 

rofl who the **** cares...

 

Thats why there are different race organizations with specific classes....

600's race against 600's, superbikes vs superbikes.....F1 cars VS F1 cars.......

The fastest vehicles aren't even any of the mentioned above.....

At the end u see the r1 getting into it and the supra just walked away like nothing. So yes a car can beat a bike but it is rare though. This supra in the vid. is bad ass.

u don't even know how hard the guy on the R1 was riding and there's no indicaton of speed...yet you say "yes a car can beat a bike". if you were FAST then you would know that the video was crap.

 

u can see the guy go down and hug the bike and I was in the car scene buddy and have scene it happen. I also had a camaro ss and use to keep up 600's more modding would have allowed me to probably stay with a 1000. Come see me in jersey if u dont think i'm fast on my R1. I have the red one at that :finger . Trust me it is possible!

 

If you really dont believe a car can beat a bike search for the Dana(Virtual Works Racing) vs Nickslick from the hayabusa forums. 1400cc big bore w/nitrous. Carbon fiber body 70lbs weight savings. I cant find the vid but Ill try and find it.
