Not when in Germany
Not in the Isle of Man either but we live here. Maybe they should only be sold in Germany or the Isle of Man then, and restricted to 70 here. Death on wheels.

Nah - that's a moped, my big bore Hayabusa complete with dry nitros kit is fast! It'll hit 167mph in about 10 seconds.

Now don't start me off yes they are good at going in a strait line but due to there length they can't go around corner mate! Oh and after you have extended the swinging arm becuase it flips rofl

Most bikes go round corners a lot quicker than the riders - even big lardy ones - I lap plenty of Sports bikes on trackdays - I hold my own in the fast group, yes I'd be 2-3 secs a lap quicker on a "proper" sports bike, but as most riders aren't that quick I get along just fine.

PS I don't run an extended arm which is why I can't go quicker than low 9s on the quarter, it wheelies and wheelspins up to about 160mph on the gas then it starts to settle a bit.
Rrrrrrr still riding baby bikes.
Now if u had said zx10 then I'd agree 167 ppppffff. Get ur sell a 1000 and stop riding the kiddis bikes yer I had a k4 7 years ago doesn't come my where near the k8 1000 or the r1 I have no. And don't go saying u can get a 6 round bends faster coz its about how big ur balls are 167 my Cosworth ****ed that.

I agree with this some bikers have awesome bikes and go fast in a stright line. But slow in a bend

Well your talking nonsense already as the Wieght ratio between a cosworth and a bike is phenomenal by the time you let the clutch I'd be gone your missing the point if you want to go fast you don't do it in a brick that carnt corner

Don't talk bloody daft no standard Cosworth will do anything like that speed. Unless it has a tuned speedo.

But it will probably go round corners faster which is what I think he was getting at

Well 4 wheel drive may help to but they can't pull away quicker or slow down quicker so bike is win win win all the way

Nothing apart from another bike would out gun either my VFR800 (pre VTEC) or my FJR 1300 (150bhp) but I reckon there are a few cars that would out stop either of them, the Lotus Elise for one.Well 4 wheel drive may help to but they can't pull away quicker or slow down quicker so bike is win win win all the way

As a biker it pains me to say it, but vehicle dynamics dictate that in stopping and cornering 4 wheels will beat 2.
But in real life, its all down to the rider/ driver.

Look at lap records for most race tracks, cars compared to bikes that may tell a slightly different story i think. Car vs Motorcycle (Race) - YouTube
