I personally raced a 999 Ducat bike some time back while the car was modified with a EVO STAGE IV Kit. Sine the car is a tiptronic, he managed to get ahead for the first 300 meters, then i passed him at 120+ mph. He wasn't a bad driver at all.

 

bottom line: cars are faster than bikes..

until VRALEX sets up something where cars and bikes can be driven together, side by side, in a spirited and safe fashion.. .. incl. vids etc..

come on Alex, let's go...!

 

In a 670hp Supra on ET streets been side by side with a ZX12R to 150, but beyond that the ET's started getting squirmish after that speed on the road where where on. I had just watched the bike run 9.8 to the Supras 10.2 at the track but from a roll it was a much better race. Seen plenty High HP cars keep up with big displacement bikes, just takes quite a bit of power.

 

Ducati's are slow!!Similar to a Lotus Exige in that they are quick around a road course but get eaten up on the straights.The bikes that are true test for your cars are: Hayabusa,2005+GSXR1000,2004+R1,ZX10,ZX12,ZX14,2005 +CBR1000RR
It all depends on the bike.I can beat a Suzuki Katana with my Harley Road KING up to 100,and they look like a fast sport bike to the average guy.

 

plus one on that

i have a duc. looks like pure sex on wheels, but it couldn't come any where near the sheer power of my old 05 ZX10. ducs are a great track bike due to the vtwin power, but they suck *** on the highway for roll ons.

 

Ha, I will run your road king with my M109R It is a BIG FAT CRUISER I have had a few 600s make the wrong choice lately.

Love the Duc, the 916 was one of my favorites. They are one of a kind!

 

Man these bike guys are nuts, i dont think i could ride a busa or gsxr1000 even to its good potential. Let alone these guys running 8 flat at 188 mph on a turbo one

 

joetwint,

I have a good idea on how much faster the Suzuki Hayabusa, GSXR1000, Yamaha R1, Kawasaki ZX12, ZX10 and Honda CBR1000RR are vs. the Ducati 999. To enlighten you a bit more, i managed to stay ahead of a couple of Honda CBR1000RR's as well as a Kawasaki ZX9R, from a 70mph roll.

 

again, so why don't you guys go shoot some videos so we can see some bike kills? it'd be good porshe PR

 

Did you say the Hayabusa and you get the break vs the M109R?OK no problem!!

Seriously the Ducs are pieces of art and great bikes just not considered to be one of the faster liter bikes in a straight line.You can't brag about beating a 10 year old liter bike because they are not as fast as the new ones today.Same way you can walk into a Benz dealer and buy a big body Benz that will beat just about every 750 from 10 years ago.No offense to anyone!!

 

Your exactly right though, same can apply to Ferrari's, they are beautiful, an engineering work of art and arent for the most part the fastest things out there, nowhere neart it with a few very rare exceptions!

 

notched this kill the other day...

 

, i love the humor on 6speed!

 

Time to fly to Chicago and enroll in the JR. School of Motorcycle Riding, he has one of each.

I've got a pretty good handle on the 1982 Kawasaki 250

 

Okay...I finally raced a bike bigger than a 600 today. A V-max. It was a fair race...we started on the 3rd honk from 60-130 or so. I beat him so bad it wasn't even funny.

Yes...I know it isn't a 'busa or R1 (not even close), but it was the best I could find on my way to myBuddy's house. I read they run mid 10's at 129...so it's no slouch either.

He gave me a very enthusiastic thumbs-up and was smiling and shaking his head at my car.
