Okay to make it really easy for you guys here. I ride a motorcycle too.
For a car like a typical ls1.
To match the power to weight ratio's of bikes this is what you have to figure
a typical
r6 = 100rwhp average
gsxr750 = 126rwhp
gsxr1000 = 152rwhp
All of these bikes weigh from 370-400 pounds each. The difference between each is about 10-15 pounds if that!
Add a rider (200 pounds) lets say each bike weighs with rider 600 pounds
Do the match
If a ls1 with a driver equals 3550 then these are the rwhp you need to beat the following bikes
r6 = 591rwhp in a ls1
gsxr750 = 745 rwhp in a ls1
gsxr1000 = 899 rwhp in a ls1
But as you all know bikes lose a grip at higher velocities. Due to their aerodynamics. So the faster you go in a car the better off you are against a bike in a race.

I agree with what you said, but you seem to ignore the fact that all those hp numbers are instantaneous numbers. HP/weight is constantly changing. As long as bikes are in the hi-revs, they will spit out those hp/weight numbers. This is why 450rwhp LS1s sometimes beat bikes;the guy riding starts from 3rd gear at 40 mph and shifts at 10k RPM on his R6. A decent rider would annihilate a 450rwhp LS1 though. LOL!
