My wording must not have been clear. Did not say that I raced with the kids in the car.They will chase me and try and pass even when they see the car with kids in it. Dangerous and no need to. Let them go and if I wanted to race plenty of time when I am by myself. They act (bikers) like a bull to a red flag when they see my car/s.

Maybe you have misunderstood




I know that I cannot beat a sports bike and will most likely lose to the Kawasaki Z1000 in a straight line, unless he stuffs up. As I stated in my post I have been a passenger on a number of bikes and there is really nothing that can keep up with their acceleration. I did not buy one because thay are too quick.

Funnily enough it was my relative who has asked me to run, but only on his terms. I would have never considered lining up against him. The Subaru launches very well, but i think the bike will pull away in third and fourth.

Where I do find I have a chance is in the twisties. Possibly because I have mountain roads two minutes from home, do a bit of hillclimbing and instead of driving up and down the tourist/city area doing wheelies and launching at every chance, I actually drive on these roads on a daily basis, I am quite quick, not the absolute best as some of my hillclimb times show but good enough. Bikers are the ones that are shocked when over a few kilometers they cannot pull away apart from on the longer straights. I respect what they ride and they respect a fast car. Maybe they are all dud riders, maybe a better rider would leave me for dead.

Now where has that Veyron gotten to:

 

YouTube - Yamaha WRF 450 vs Subaru Impreza WRX

 

Doesn't look much in it to me

YouTube - WRX STI vs BIKE

No corners either!

Just watched that video on youtube and I'm not suprised toseland won as tiff was in a normal civic type R pmsfl its hardly a victory

YouTube - James Toseland Vs Tiff Needell

 

lol. Bike are better. End of! A scooby will beat a bike in the bends, but the bike will have more fun, and that's what it's all about!

Who wants to be sat upright just moving their arms and feet a little bit, when they could be getting blasted by the wind with their shoulders brushing the nettles in the edges of the roads, moving their whole body across, scraping the knee on the floor and being an integral part of the bikes handling, suspension, steering and braking!?!

Anyone who argues this, isn't arguementative, wrong or daft, but they just have never been lucky enough to find bikeing yet!

You just don't want this thread to end do you

 

PMSFL did you get that from some movie TAG line ??? I would bet £100 most /95% of bikers couldn't get their knee on the floor in a corner unless they were playing on their xbox

 

toseland only crossed the line 8 seconds in front in only one lap, much faster if you ask me!
did you not watch tiff in a super car get beaten by haslem on a bike, or was that only 500bhp, did he need a much faster car?

 

well get the vid up then ????

 

PMSFL toseland beats a sub 200bhp car around a track by 8 seconds ??? Thats the reason all bikers think they are invinsable

 

not invinsable at all!

YouTube - Tiff Vs Leon Haslam

have a look young man

 

This thread again go on then will join in

I have had my knee down on the road but not very often (I once had my **** down, leg back, head when I dropped it ) but unless the road is billiard smooth and your 7ft tall most don’t need to to go quick. How often do you see them get there knees down on the Manx

Just because my bike and most sports bikes will kick your **** Steve (on a smooth road anyway ) just let it go

 

Its not me that keeps brining it up I thought the thread was dead



Its a good effort from the bike as its the fastest production bike and the baby lambo

 

Fastest production bike

Baby Lambo is like saying baby great white shark still kick your ****

 

If you watch the vid its Tiff's words not mine plus mine is more powerfull than the baby lambo

 

feckin hell, glad i unsubscribed,hang on, doh !

 

far from the fastest production bike, ducati themselves make a faster production bike

 

What’s the power to weight on the baby lambo compared to yours

YouTube - evo 9 mr vs 06 gsxr 600

 

We're talking real world conditions here ie not a track. As per my posts above, take a high powered Scoob vs a high powered bike on a normal traffic free road & there's nowt in it

TX.

PS

Car beats bike on a track:

YouTube - Suzuki GSXR1000 vs Westfield XTR (Fifth Gear)

 

YouTube - 0-100-0mph Suzuki GSX-R1000 vs Lamborghini Gallardo
we see a lot of those on the road dont we,

 

PMSL leaves him on the back wheel in the wet too

 

You don't see many gallardo's on the road but there are loads or impreza's/evo's/skylines etc running far more power than them which was my point in the 1st place

 

Why do car drivers have to try and prove their car against bikes ???

anyhow you can't wheely a subaru passed a bike so the bike wins.

 

[QUOTE=jjones;7970758]how true, much more impresive than a loud dump valve

 

Bike will never always win, ultimately it has 2 wheels and has a job to keep the nose down then there's grip.

Throw enough money at a car and it will decimate a bike every time.

YouTube - Bugatti Veyron vs Yamaha R1 vs Carrera GT Autobahn Race!

 

Throw the same sort of money at the bike then see what happens

 

True.

But baring in mind toward the end of that vid, another bike comes on the scene and keeps easily in front of the on board video bike, i wouldnt say the onboard bike/rider was the best to test a £480,000 car (or wotever they are worth)

 

I would love to see a bike wheelie past me
