The fastest car does have 5 x the HP of the Busa though.

Id excpect my $250000 (or how ever nuch a lambo is) Factory Hayabusa to be quick to.Those wernt races, just short sprints till a car got in the road.
Dollar for dollar bike wins.

bring out the 500hp busa, see who wins then. i agree with gunhand, dollar for dollar the bike hands down wins!

Give me 500,000 and I could make a mk3 cortina that fast, but it would cost less than 10% of that to make a faster bike

"dollar for dollar", psh, who gives a shit.

When you can go and buy a a Superlegerra, drop how ever much money it costs to almost triple the horsepower and afford to run it on the road do you think money has anything to do with it!

Cars will always be faster than bikes, until a bike has done a return trip of Ehra Lessien and managed to average more than 413km/h like a car has.

Some pretty cool gear though.

Cars will always be faster than bikes. Aerodynamics on a bike are very poor compared to cars.

jezz43, Apr 4, 6:58pm
would the Y2K bike be faster than the busa in that video!

fiatracer, Apr 4, 6:58pm
awesome stuff. but. on f-wits race on the road.

Thats the point car drivers just dont get, bike owners know what its like to have that performance because its far far far more affordable if you have the balls.They can talk from experience. Id rather own the bike and know what its like than have to watch a video of the car wishing I had one. Bit like watching porn because you cant get the real thing.

Indeed and they are not young guys.
Bit disturbing.

What's this "dollar for dollar" crap! Either something is faster, or it's not. Going by your theory my mini pisses all over everything you guys have got, and I really don't think you'll buy that.

Line the bike and car up from the top of the north island-south and see what the story is. Since buying a decent 1000cc sports bike all aspirations for owning 'fast' cars have gone out the window. A waste of time imo.

You lot are missing the whole deal I think.
The bike guy comes back every 12 months with upgrades and has a rolling 60mph challenge with the cars,for a $1.
We all know they have different apllications and are better in some areas than others.
I was impressed by some of the gear,and from the bike speedo you can see how fast some of that gear is.

$ for $ the bike wins. but if I had the money to make a car faster than a busa, I would.

dr.doolittle, Apr 4, 11:03pm
LOL what a load of crap!
Dollar for dollar my pushbike pisses all over your bike. LOL.
What a dumb comparison to make.

dr.doolittle, Apr 4, 11:07pm
See the guy in the red T-shirt throw-up at 4.40. lol

jsbike, Apr 4, 11:25pm
so you make a dumber comparison!

kwaka5, Apr 4, 11:48pm
The difference being for around $12k you can get a bike that will do 300KPH some how i doubt you will find a car that will do that for the same price. You get way more bang for your buck with a bike.

smac, Apr 4, 11:52pm
Ya but that hardly seems the point in the form of racing shown in the link. That's about "money no object, beating you".

Actually I'm not sure I see the point of what they do. The winner could entirely be worked out on paper with the stats of the cars. Fun though :PI guess that's the point.

ninja_man, Apr 5, 1:52am
where money is no object, cars are faster, but for most people money is a factor so therefore bikes are the answer to going fast. i mean a 30k car is never going to beat a 30k turbo bike!

not disturbing enough to make you turned off

instead it turned you on so much you ran straight to Trade Me
