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 (bruecksteve @ Feb 24 2005, 07:39 AM) 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 think the road that goes by Brass Town Bald is Hwy 75, that road goes through Helen. Highway 129 runs from Athens, through Gainesville, Cleveland and Blairsville Georgia. The part I'm talking about is between Cleveland and Blairesville. Great road for a Sunday afternoon, like it better than most I've seen. Richard Russel Scenic Parkway {Alternate 75} is also a great road but it also has alot of gravel on it. Highway 60 from Dahlonega through Suches is real tight. It's actually alot like Tail of the Dragon. Actually, we need to try to get a GAFBA ride up through there one weekend. |
