Any body race a turbo bike? If so how much power do you have and how did you do. I'm Just try to figure out how much power a car needs to keep with a high HP car. My bike makes 286hp on pump and almost 400 on race and i don't think my vette 590 whp(spray) would have a chance agianst the bike on pump never mind race . I definatly don't trust anybody to drive either so i can try that. Just looking for your personal experiances.

A few of my bike friends disagree on what kind of power in a car would keep with our bike. I feel 900 plus WHP would keep with a 200hp bike, now i know my bike might be hard to beat but a few friends have 200whp turbo bike and i think there are a few cars out there that will keep up.. I remember doing a roll with a F50 on a 150hp bike and he was pulling me. Not shure of the power of the car but it was fast. I know my vette doesn't have a chance but somebody out there must. Well thanks for all the info.

A 200HP bike with any traction would own a 900HP street car, if the guy could keep it from flipping over backwards... 
And that's not an exceptionally high-boost bike. Saw a turbo GSXR turn a 9.1 at 163 at Sears Point, then ride it home. He was running 9:1 pistons and 18psi boost with a small FMIC sticking out the left side.

Its kinda hard to ride it down the 1320 at 25psi. I have tried a few time at @14psi and it trapes low 160. 14psi is what i drive around town with and it make 286, race gets in the high 3XX. Bike weighs 390 and i weigh 200. Thats about 2to1 on pump and 1.6 to 1 on race. This is just bench racing between me and some friends, i was hoping we had some races on here to share with a turbo bike. I personally like to play on the highway more than the quater. I run a half second slower than my friend in the quater and i give him a gear on the highway. Its all in how you set up your toy. Thanks agian Steve

I just wanna say that theres alot of cars that would own a turbo bike-at the track. There are outlaw cars running over 200mph on little 28x10.5 tires/full weight.....not to even mention mini-tubbed or tubbed cars and lightweight drag cars. As far as running out on the highway at highspeeds- I've seen a couple in magazines geared and set up for 200+ mph racing, but they probably would still get smoked. But, from a dig 1/4 on the street, it would be hard to keep up with you in an average full weight street car. Have you ever raced a heavily modded AWD car in the 1/8 on the street? I dont see how you stay on that thing with so much power.

My buddies mustang went 7.95@175mph on 28x10.5" slicks on 10" wheel, and it was a small block with a huge procharger, glide, and around 3,000lbs.
