RE: [ST] Cars v Bikes
Nah. I think we'll always have the HP-weight advantage.
Until they can make a $30,000 car go from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, we'll
still be able to beat them off the line :)
Even a Z06 can't take a bike off the line.
Right now, any production cage that can take a bike off the line is still
out of most peoples price range, i.e Ferrari or Porche etc.
I think we'll always have the braking advantage, just because of our weight
(375 lbs vs. 2500-3000 lbs) and physics.

lap records are held by cars. <<
True. A car will always corner faster than a bike, it just *seems* faster
on
the sicle. Have you noticed how much quicker even family cars are getting
over
the years? I think we are beginning to lose our edge on acceleration and
stopping
too. The ultimate nightmare - not being able to outrun the cages from the
traffic
lights !
