PMSFL @ Biker's
Its quite funny but my mate has a Ninja 600cc, he saw a scoob on the M60 about a month ago and decided to give it a blast down the slip road, on looking down to his left the scoob was still right beside him, he was a little shocked to say the least lol and yes his bike does run correctly

Or he wasn't using all the revs
As somebody said above you get shocked sometimes at how cars stick with you on a bike when you think you would leave them but you really need to rev the nuts off a 600 to get the best from it :norty

My mate was bouncing it off the 12k redline (2/3/4th gear) and the scoob was still there 
(blue new age i believe) oh and it has a smacs sticker on it.

it wasn't a ZXR 600 then or was it a very old one??My 99 R6 revs to 16k
and the newer bikes even higher.
I have checked every post I put on here and not once do I say "I have a fast car" or "my car is quicker than a bike"
In fact if you ask anyone that knows me or even pat who maps my car and they will tell you I think my car is too slow 
righto bikers and scooby boys, here we go, the myth of the bike and the scoob, road bikes are for straightlines on A roads, scoobys are for B roads and back lanes, (RALLY) no biker has got the bottle to do back roads against a scoob.
Think I can do my fave back roads quicker in the car than on the bike but on the straighter roads no chance.

Why do bikers have to try and prove there bike against fast cars ??? I came off a round about today and drove the car thru a few gears changing at 6krpm on each change. There was a biker in the outside lane who was happily driving along normally until I boosted mine. It was some big cc bike as you could tell from the size of the back wheel but his performance was really terrible. If I had tried to pass him I could of easily, plus I could see his bike starting to wobble abit as he hit a corner at speed 
All I could do was laugh as I sat behind my wheel in comfort knowing I wasn't even trying to prove anything

That wasn't calling my car fast that was a statement about "why bikers want to chase after performance type cars "
You see I said "Fast cars" thats plural. If I meant just my car I would of worded it totally different

If the rider is a true bike rider and i don't mean Mr 45 back on a bike after 20 years and kids he will beat a Scooby!
End of!
Every few months this same rubbis comes up! It all about the rider, driver.
The better will win!

PMSL this thread is funny
Ive got a gsxr 750 k7 and the list of so called performance cars me and my mates have left 4 dead on twisty roads is as long as my arm

It's a generalisation to say either bikes or cars are faster on roads. As stated by others, it all boils down to how fast each of the vehicles is compared to one another, how talented the driver is and how much guts the driver has.
i.e. a Bugatti Veyron against a 125cc bike wouldn't be a fair race and neither would a Kawasaki ZX14R against a 998cc mini.
Judging by performance figures, most if not all sports bikes will easily beat the majority of cars in a straight line. Cornering speed depends on the talent of the bike rider and car driver. I don't know why this debate keeps on going on and on!

Post 37 is probably the funniest post I've ever see on here.
