I have to agree with the posts stating that a sports car can stay with or beat motorcycles in the twisties. A while back I read a story about racing Superbikes stating that they could hold 1 g in the turns while Formula 1 cars can generate up to 3 G's. One of the factors in this was the fact that cars have 4 contact patches that are widley spaced. In the real world with joe average driving a motorcyle I dont think you will be seeing to much knee draging in the turns. The racers know about sand, dirt, water, and oil on the pavement and the wanna be's don't have the skill/guts. It realy is way to dangerous to push a bike on public roads. I have had some fun mountain driving chasing and leaving bikes fading out in my review mirror.

 

How well do these things launch? I would have gotten one, but you know them soccer moms and their cell phones. In their defense, you know them drunk bastards that croos the street anytime, anyplace...

That and the fact that I didn't even drive a 4-wheeler until I was 20.

 

Jeez - comparing anything to a formula one is not fair -- on the straights they can run upside down -- their airfoils provide enough downward force.
