LOL greenie, you don't have the racing head that's for sure. You remind me of the time someone told me that guys wanted to step out of the car after 6 minutes in a sega NASCAR simulator. He said, you have 3, 6 minutes of time, or the full 18 minutes. I said give me the full 18min. That's when he told me after I got out of the car how the average-joe handles that car. Got high as 4th and finished 10th.

That audi handled. You saw no steering wheel correction at all. Guy steered smooth and effortlessly. Lots of crazy stuff you do alone and come back all safe, right? Same here. You play the odds, or don't buy that kind of bike, nor that kind of car.

"1 mis-calculation & the rider was toast, too close!!!!!!!"...agreed...too close...they all were lucky spots opened up the way they did....That didn't exactly take 'skill'...more like russian roulette;)You're right though HUb...I do too much 'crazy shit'...crazy enough anyway...dangerous would be more like it....I really need to NOT think I'm invincible when I'm on my Ninja....geez.Sometimes I take a look at a few of the vids I've made...I cringe sometimes....Not near as extreme as those guys...but still...risky as shit(for me).

If a car took me, as I previously stated, I would get off my bike, remove my Sidi boots and start kicking my own ass with it. Then I would write a letter of apology to Kawasaki asking them for forgiveness. Finally I would remove my tanto blade and cut my pinki finger off, just above th middle knuckle and offer it as an apology for my crime.
Enough said....SHAME!!!!

He must know the rider .......paid him............cuz I'm not seeing 600HP be even close. Had a BMW M6 try that on me and I didn't even see him in the mirror until I was exiting.

With that.........it was stupid on part of all involved considering the traffic.

Where is this devoid-of-police road? I wish to find the ZX-10 rider, tighten his suspension, replace his tires, then knife him in jacobs if'n he has em.

That was a piss-poor display.

Blue has a point with the racing in traffic!

That said the car is in more danger of upsetting other motorists then the motorcycle's operator.
I agree with Hagrid! What is that bike doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cars perform really well on roads like that, I'd like to see them too go at it on some twisty roads. I know that there's always someone faster or someone willing to go faster, but it must suck if that someone is driving a car and waving at you in his mirror.

I'd take that challenge..........

On a twisty road that car will prob win no matter who rides the street bike.

If I recall............the auto track record at Laguna-Seca is 9 seconds lower than any bike.

Four big tires to brake and grip is a win on the twisties where the bike is very traction limited.

It sure feels fast when riding, but if you get in a decent car you will be surprised.

That's a humbling video...Got one of a car at the Isle of Man TT ? I'd put my money on the bike.

Bikes look fast being so small, but all that traction is king of racing.

That was Casey Stoner....MotoGP champion on a MotoGP bike with about 280HP. The V8 car was right there with him.

As for the Isle....maybe...and maybe only b/c the road kinda sucks - it's not so flat. A car has a lotta weight and the suspension would not travel so much where the bikes are more forgiving b/c the rider can stand up to supplement the suspension. The road the original vid shows was a very nice and smooth road....the bike shoulda been gone.


EDIT........I had to look up the current car record. It was set by a Subaru....and was only 3mins behind the bike (John, of course). I think with some test/tune and brakes that can handle the downhill section...it could win.
