![]() 0-100km/hr [62 mph] > 3:10 secs 0-200km/hr [124 mph] > 6:90 secs 0-300km/hr [186 mph] > 19:10 secs For comparison.. a Corvette Z06 (C6) will apparently do 0-300km/hr in 41.8 secs Corvette ZR1 (C6) 0-300km/hr > 32.6 secs Amazing what under 15 grand can get you in the sport bike world.

![]() But then it's not hard to see why, the weight of the biker and driver, and 200bhp or over or whatever it might be. Still slower in the corners lol. |

![]() It's true. Simple fact is 4 tires provide more traction than 2. On long winding turns it isn't much of a limitation, but when things get tight, cars have an edge. Sure, motorcycles are lighter than cars (duh!). I don't care how simplistic or light-weight a vehicle is - if it can get me to 300km/hr in under 20 seconds that is pretty damn impressive IMO. |

![]() when its acceleration is so much greater I suppose the cornering isn't much of a factor. I can't see a motorbike being "slow" in corners. EDIT - Actually, that's my fault. I read his post as saying Cornering is still slow, not slower. I think I've lost my mind. College. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

![]() Think how much contact a bike has with the tarmac when it's cornering hard? It's not much, and a car has twice as many wheels in contact with the road. |

![]() I think it does come down to the rider to an extent. Yes, bikes will never go shot for shot with a car in corners, but it's not bad. The bike could catch up pretty easy with the quicker acceleration on the exit of the turn anyway, no? |
