I'm not a veteran, but I have witnessed their Fun Police charade first hand.

BTW, I'm kinda surprised that gixxer didn't take right off. The guy riding it must've been going easy, because I know the acceleration on those things is tremendous.

The bike was restricting himself. Did you notice he did a wheelie first, well when you do a wheelie you dont have as much traction hence you got back off the gas. The bike is a GSXR1000, far faster than than car can do. Plus there is quiet a bit of traffic, if you notice the bike had to change lanes the car didnt have to. The biker was being careful. Try going at 100 Mph.. it will blow your balls off. Get on the back of a bike andI will tell you got to have balls of steel to go that fast. One mistake by you or someone else and can you say "splat".

If it was a striaght open road, the bike would have smoked him out. The GSXR1000 has a top speed over 180Mph.. and hits 0-60 is 3.2 seconds..

Bikes can accelerate like crazy but they suck at braking when it comes to it, all the braking zone on a track is time wasted.

I second that, he did not race the GSXR1000.

But regardless, that twin turbo firebird is F A S T !

Dunno about that one. They didn't exactly go from 0-60...and like you said...the bike was being careful so he didn't exactly go over 180. The bike didn't go all out...but I do think a car has a better chance of beating a bike from a roll-on. I don't know about a Firehawk or whatnot...won't really know since the biker never did push it. Hmmm...my bet is the biker would've won though...but that's just because I don't know how Firehawks are. Do a search on Morpheus for a Supra vs Hayabusa...that was pretty tight.

This is idiotic. Winning a race like that is just who thinks they are more indestructible. The biggest idiot wins. I've watched a lunatic on a 700cc cruiser blow away an 1100cc sportbike, because the guy on teh cruiser was a nut case. Imagine how fast your license would disappear if you were stopped for doing 140 in a 65 zone.

Now if it were on a racetrack under controlled conditions maybe it would make more sense. Just pisses me off that the idiots were putting the lives of the other people on the road at risk.

OK, I'm done being the voice of a parent now.

edit: If you've ever ridden a bike to its limits, you know that that bike could have taken that car in a second. But like I said, is it really worth it.

Haha, that video is funny. Beating a mid-90s YamaHAHA, is not a tremendous feat. Even if it is a liter bike.
I can tell ya right now, if the guy on the GSXR had any inclination at all to race, that'd be over in a second.

Still though, that car is super nice, and I would absolutely LOVE to have it in my garage. Full credit goes to the car driver, he was the better man on this day. :)
Isn't a Firehawk what John(on these boards) just got? Lucky guy!
