Not quite what's being asked but still worth watching: R1 v's 911

It's also worth noting that Niall Mackenzie riding the R1 was not allowed a warm up to get the tyres up to temperature and was not given any time to set the bike up. He dished all the dirt on that a few months ago in TWO magazine, essentially he turned up, got changed, hopped on and 3-2-1- GO!. Tyre temperatures are crucial on a road bike.

This could go on for ever, want me to post the bog standard 999 with a journo not a racer beating a murcielargo around Anglesey.

edit ... gallardo not murcielargo

I seem to remember a recent thread from you old Jonny boy about pretty much the same stuff. Off topic but;

Bang for bucks - Bikes every time

Ultimate Speed - Car every time' date=' but hey, physics is a bitch.

Autocar recently did their 0 - 100 - 0 test and invited TWO along with their Longterm GSXR1000 K6.

The GSXR beat everything except a Veyron iirc

CAR did a max speed run on london city airport and invited a Kawasaki ZZr1400 along for the day, the Kawasaki was the fastest vehicle there on the day.

My clonky owd speed triple will do 0-60 in 3 ish seconds and to a 100 in around 7, and that is not a modern bike by any stretch of the imagination, when I hd my GSXR1000 that was awesome ,,,,, mind bending in fact.

All horses for courses but as I said, physics will always dictate that the car will win, it's not possible to make a bike grip as well .... at the moment.[/quote']I like your style ... Well said.
