I love sneeking up on bikes and smacking them down. Especially 650s and 750s.They are like WTF?? But there are a bunch of really fast 9sec bikes out there.

well it confirmed one thing for me today: I am NOT the fastest vehicle out there on the road! Maybe....just maybe... I was the fastest torch red on 249 in a 1 mile radius of Cypresswood today between 2:25 and 2:30pm though ... even that is a little iffy

Yep! And the rider mod is most key, far more so than the driver mod. I've ripped new GSXR1000s on my old CBR1100xx "blackbird" in the 1/4 based on this. I'm also able to keep within a couple lengths on these similar bikes in most cases. Your car may actually keep up above 120 due to aeros but from a normal highway speed roll/punch, most cars are just toast. People just don't realize how quick bikes are, especially liter bikes, anywhere in the 0-120 range. It just takes a decent rider to see the good results.
As a reference, I ripped a C6 Z06 from 30-90 on my 'Bird -- with a passenger...in one gear too high. And my 'Bird is a number of years past being the fastest bike out there. Power-to-weight rules all starting at anything under 100. Over 100, aeros REALLY start to play a role.

this guy must have known how to ride because before we ran he was doing wheelies and stuff. Anyway, yall are nuts for getting on bikes in my opinion 
I couldn't imagine going that fast in something I wasn't sitting "in"! It has always made me wonder why they let bikes go so incredibly fast at the track, when all you need to do is run 11's in a CAR for a roll cage!

I love when cars want to play and Im on the bike, although I have a CBR1000RR Repsol, with a ton of HRC parts from japan. Most, even highly modded cars, will not hang with a bike. Especially if the rider of the bike, knows how to ride.

750 whp on a vette against a 750 or 1000 cc bike should be a very close race. a car that has over 750 whp should have no problem taking a completely stock bike. i raced a 2000 or so year gsxr750 from a 40 roll and he killed me but when we stoped at the light and i said lets go from a dig. it was a diffrent story i let off around 130 and by then he was closing in on me. and my car is slow but from a dig when you jump out 4 cars on a bike it make a world of diffrence. if the bike cant keep it down. but if you have a high whp car there should not be any problem smoking a bike. i know your car from a low gear against a 600 cc bike should be a close race. you may pull him on the top end if its stock.
