Your right in general mate, but there are the odd exceptions now & again 
YouTube - Impreza STI vs RR600
YouTube - FastSubie.com - Subaru Impreza vs R1000 Motorcycle
YouTube - Race vs Bike
YouTube - Impreza WRX STi vs GSX-R 1/4 Mile Germany

the last vid is more on a contest ...even then its seem the bike was still ahead.
the other three vids i cannot comment as we only get the see the ends bits
but if you hsve any riding experience of supersports bikes , you will know 99% of cars on the road have no chance against a capable rider....unless its is held in a "rally stage "

Yes bikes are quicker, but thats not to say I cant keep up with one where there is no traffic & few turns & twisties thrown in. Im not talking standing start drag race & Im not even talking about overtaking one, Im just talking about a biker losing me in above conditions is not easy.

It takes far more bottle and skill to launch a bike than a car.
Also I woulnt like to be up against a scooby on a bike if it was dark, wet or a dirty road.

Bikes win full stop. My first scoob was 300-310 bhp, my bro had GSXR 750 2004 and there was no way i could beat him on motorway or b roads he was just ****ing mental on it, he could get 90mph round some corrners b roads and i **** my pants at 75 and the back was twinchin. I went on the back with him once and the speed is just nuts, i got off my legs was shaking hands to, never again.
The only way you will win a bike is if he lets you win or just thinks not another *** in a car, or if the rider int that good. I have nothing wrong with bikes or scoobs. But people who say they won a bike come on. My bros GSRX 750 was 710 bhp per ton cost 8k. you will need to spend some ££££s just to keep up flat out the bike was limited that mean he hit the limiter in 6th speedo reading 186mph.

You bikers are just 
There really is nothing in it on normal roads that are traffic free. We all know that a bike is way quicker in a straight line when you have nice smooth tarmac, no wind, no rain, no bends, complete silence so that the rider can concentrate etc etc It's not often that those conditions exist in the UK though is it?
I have no trouble keeping up with a sports bike & indeed I often do so on the road. Almost ran one chap over he had to slow down so much going round a local 180o bend near home ...
