I have a lot of friends that ride sport bikes. They've talked before about how fast bikes
are around a road course but I tend to wonder just how fast they are in comparison to cars? How close hypothetically would a stock C5 ZO6 be in comparision to a Hayabusa or any other current production bike on a road coarse given a skilled driver/rider? I remember the old article of the Viper vs the then fastest production bike in one of the car magazines and the Viper won, so I'm guessing it's close but maybe the bike would win. That's also taking into acount an expert rider on the bike aka someone that's crazy. |

QUOTE (Soma07 @ Feb 23 2005, 11:38 AM) Better braking and cornering. Four wide tires beats two skinny ones. i completely disagree... the deceleration of a motorcyle is much better than a car... a motorcycle will slow down as fast as you can hang on a car has more rubber but it has more than 4 times the weight of a motorcyle... a Z06 weighs 3000 lbs and any top of the line sport bike will be between 350 and 450 lbs.. i the only advantage i see between 2 and 4 tires is that it is easier to drive on 4 tires looks like the only advantage i see so far is horsepower... |
