PG you don't count gearheads can't post here especially those who throw the wave down while in the middle of a double apex just to impress the poor guy going the other way

No it's really good to see you PG I will admit my $120,000 ++ example that is set up for PSD duty is a little over the top NOW confess you're still throwing the wave down in the corner

Your tuned up muscel car isn't going to keep up to a bike in a corner, no matter what the rednecks tell you. It's a matter of technology. A POSI rear end hops around corners, it's kinda fun.

Likewise all these "racers" who watch cartoon's like Initial D. And think that there POS Honda Prelude with there 20 year old suspension is magically a secret racecar. They can take on much faster cars and even bikes, and win cause they invested in a K&N air filter!. really there just one step away from being a pro Rally driver.

And my last point. For the price of 1 decent Porsche. You can buy 10 of your fav bikes from 10 of your fav differn't manufactuers. And have 10x more fun.
Or you can buy 10 bikes for your best mates and start your own lil gang. errm I mean riding group.

i have a well built bike, and a good ole C6 vette will take me any time in the canyons and top speed , off the line i am quicker. but the contact patch of a car compared to a bike is out ragious. when Miller motorsport opened we were able to ride on the track the sam time as the mustangs...and they would romp all over us and the expert riders.

oh and if you look at F1 compared to GP on the same track....F1 is about 30 secs faster a lap.

And in theory, at speed an F1 car can drive upside down (if you happen to find a road that goes upside down) and not fall off.

my 900 will rip out of a corner and try to carry the front with big EXIT speed. Sorry dude, a 600 will not pull as much EXIT speed. again- the rider has to have the cherries to push the limit to prove this. I agree about the flick on the track thing though, as a clean line is a clean line, 1000 or 600.
