Go pick up an issue of the september Super Street Bike magazine... they did a test against a 60k Aprilia Vs a 260k Ferrari the out come is really shocking and worth reading...

There's a video of a Porsche vs. a SS bike, I can't remember what the models were. But it was on Top Gear, and the Porsche easily pulled away in the corners, though the bike would catch up in the straights. After 1 lap around the track, the car won.

car can carry more speed through middle of corner bike everywhere else...especially if all wheel drive.....just depends on road setup

Pickup speed out of a turn almost ensures the bike will win.

my buddies got an supercharged 02'Trans-Am firehawk with around 20,000 into aftermarket mods and I wont dare to take a corner as fast as that thing handles and I can ride pretty well.strait away forget about it the thing has 700 + HP @ the motor and is pulling low 10's in the quarter@140.Ive never been in a car that handles as well as it does.
