[FAST LS1]

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.

Edit - Damn, the link above doesn't work, but the video is out there. Do a search on Ariel Atom and see what you find.

There are many in this series trying to find the fastest street car in the world around the road course they made. "Stig" is an ex F1 driver but they never say who he is exactly. Anyway, this Ariel Atom is my kind of car. If you can see his cheeks rippling in the wind and not have it send chills up your spine you're just simply not a car guy. Near the end they race a 600cc street bike around the course. It looks like too much fun for words.
