I was on the beltway(495) minding my own business and some integra type R, a REAL one even wanted to play. which was a complete waste of gas because the damn thing didn't even put up a fight. so all is said and done blah blah, then as I'm getting off my exit a see an extremly bright hid light coming up behind me, so I figure probably an M with a 1 burned out or some shit, so I floor it onto 236 give the guy some room and then as Im waiting the guy flys past me, an M no...a kawasaki ninji bike(didn't catch the model), the exact thing I'v been wanting to get, it sounded so nice though, it had a carbon fiber look exhaust, body flares everything. thinking I can take him from a 50mph roll I go for it, I have him for alittle bit and its pretty much even and I only pull maybe 1 car lengh on him. Then it happened, a red light up above, we both slowed and stoped at the light I rolled down my window and the guy was decked out in race gear and just glanced over and nodded. I don't know what the hell I was thinking but gave my engine a few revs, well needless to say 1 green light later and a what seemed like a flash of blue the guy was GONE......... I don't mean like me raping civics gone I mean like he was never even there gone. God I want 1 so badly, I should really do my taxes to get my refund

Jeremy Clarkson did a track race with professional riders between a bike and a 911 Carrera 4.

The 911 won the lap by a hair.

The bike KILLED the 911 at the start and on the straights. The 911 cruised in the corners.

Basically, cars can corner faster than bikes due to the contact patch? Anyhow, I've dorked around with M Coupe vs. bikes in the mountains, and that was pretty much my experience. In the straights, bye-bye bike. In the corners, eek! don't run over the bike!

anyone who's stupid enough to race a bike around the corners almost deserves to crash. but if you slow down and then gun it you still have ALOT of pick up. www.bikepics.com has alot of movies and stuff of crashes and basically any kind of fucking around on a bike you can think of. I believe theres more then a few video's of guys taking the turns alittle 2 fast and either hitting a gaurd rail or sliding out.
