Default G8 GT vs FZ-07 (with different riders for comparison)

Really fun runs. Ended up being better than we thought and a good comparison of the difference a rider's weight makes. First runs are with a 229 lbs rider (plus gear) and second runs are with me at about 155 lbs (plus gear). Same car and bike.

G8 GT - cam and bolt-ons, makes about 410 rwhp

FZ-07 - brand new 2015, rated 75 hp and 50 tq. Not a "fast" sport bike but one of the most fun bikes I've ever ridden. Tons of torque down low from the parallel twin and a wheelie machine when you want it to be. Killer in the twisties. Total hooligan bike.

Heavy Rider from bike's 1st gear (about 20 mph)

Heavy Rider from bike's 2nd gear (about 40 mph)

This is obviously BS.

400whp cars destroy 600s all the time!
