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 (Judd @ Feb 24 2005, 02:58 AM) I can remember my times at little Talladega on a production Yamaha FZR 400 {TGPR}, they were in the mid to high 1.05 range. Steve,,, have you ever played around on Hwy129 North {Blood Mountain}? I've run 1:09's at Little Talladega in my car. Just not enough power. Is that the road that heads up toward Brasstown Bald? If so, yes. Bikers are crazy on that road. The idea of staying in your lane escapes those guys. I might go fast on those roads but ALWAYS in my own lane. And because they're so tight, speed isn't that much of an issue. |
