And used hayabussa be had for $3500, low insurance.

 

Correct!

Today's bikes are very fast - even 600cc's are running stout numbers.

All being equal, a stock 750cc or greater cc bike will put a smack down on many sports cars. Bikes are now capable of running high 10's; many of the larger cc bikes are now running into the 9's STOCK!

However, at rolling higher speeds, the game changes a little bit. Stock cars such as the 911 TTS/TT, Aventador/Gallardo and now Hurican, Z06/ZR1 and GTR are the very few stock cars that can sit next to a bike at a high speed (let's say 80mph), punch it and hang with the bike then begin to creep away.

But some bikes are just too much to mess with at just about any speed unless you have some well placed mods and can drive and the bikes are stock. Yes, they too can tune and add goodies. Bikes such as the: BMW S100RR, Suzuki new Hayabusa, Aprilia RSVA, Honda CBR S 1000RR, Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14R, Ducati 1199 Pinigale R, Yamaha YZF R1...can all run 0-60 times in the high to mid 2's and looow 10's to mid 9's in the 1/4 mile stock!

So you see my friends, be careful who you mess with. All stock and well driven vs. well ridden - my money is on the bike.

 

I would never run a bike and say I beat him, that puts me in a bad place around here. My car is a bullet no doubt but bikes, nah. I just stay away from them.

 

Imagine what this thing is capable of. Reportedly near 300hp... http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/2015-Ninja-h2
