A racing bike is not about straight line speed.

There are videos of riders on 250’s beating out liter bikes on the track.

The amount of corner speed a lightweight bike can carry is far better than larger bikes… this is why some tracks with a lot of twisties is actually better to have a smaller bike.

Cars don’t play any role here.
