You guys are all idiots… I am just going by what has happened on the street. Not a hypothetical Utopia with a got bike rider and good driver. All I know is the 600 couldn’t keep up… and what constitutes a good Rider? How about a mohawk on the helmet? Does that work for you? Cause he had a blue one… Regardless of what my car does at the track with me driving, put anthing but street radials on my car and it will run low 12’s. But my car isn’t set up to drag… it is set up for road racing. ---

Yes I have owned a bike… 3 of them actually. I had a yamaha 650 Maxim, first bike, a HD Fat-Boy and a V-rod… Any more brain busters? I am just speaking facts on the road. and comparing the sensation of bikes to cars is not even close. You can be on a bike and feel like your doing 120 and look down and your only doing 80. In a car you can feel like your doing 60 and look down and your at 100 mph. Can’t even compare them. You can’t feel the difference between the 2. if you were on a bike blind folded and some one else was driving I bet you couldn’t guess to ± 10 mph of the speed you were going. please keep the really intelligent comments comming. ---

Do you think the r6 is that much faster than the ws6? its tough to say. to me it feels like it is and ive seen some vids of 600s taking down some pretty fast cars, like i said. i think the bike CAN win with a good rider, but i cant say 100% obviously. the only true way to know is to go out and do it. ---

600cc bike 115 hp, maybe 400lbs + 170? for the rider 570lbs, 115hp 4.95lbs per horsepower Car…2950lbs? 520hp? 5.67lbs/hp The original was based on WHP for both, 600RRs dyno 110+ all the time. I didn’t realize your car was lighter. I gave you the benefit of crank HP and it’s closer, but the bike still comes out ahead. ---

The fact that any of us have seen a bike beat by a car with less than 600 or 700hp proves that some riders are better than others. I mean, half the STI owners I’ve seen at the track are lucky to get under 2.0 60’, but the car is capable of a 1.6 or 1.7. Why would anyone expect bikes to be different? > > Now if Darkstar rode a 600cc bike, the power to weight ratios would be much closer and everything would be different. First the car is less than 3000 lb’s. Second, there are things such as drag coefficient that really come into play at speeds over 50+ mph. I’m well aware a competant driver on a 600 could get me from a dig. Third, my car probably has around 500-540 engine HP. Your taking engine HP from a bike and comparing it to rwhp from my car. Lots of false assumptions. ---
