Audi R8 V10 vs Suzuki GSXR vs Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R

[AdDaMan]

I'd imagine even a 600 would have wiped the floor with an R8....never mind a 1 litre bike.

I wouldn't go that far....
If they were 1000's like he said then they would have smashed him yes, but 600s he would have been ahead.
Had a few good races with 600s myself in my time.

I've never riden a bike but have been told at that sort of speeds it's hard to even see lol. Just googled a couple of videos of very quick cars getting trounced by high end bikes, I would agree and say they prob arnt 1000

 

[Flat Eric]

Maybe a gsx 750? Even still though, they are rapid bikes

......Got linked my a mate.



Just to put things into perspective.

To ride a bike fast is much harder than driving a car fast!

Anyone can jump in an R8 and do 175 easily but not many bike riders would do the same I'm sure of that!

Why would not many bikers do 175?

 

[AdDaMan]

Loads do! Only takes a few seconds! Ive been at 170mph (in a car) side by side with a bike, and a few friends touch 180 every other day on theirs lol!

How odd, I've just watched that, before you posted it, spooky

Have you riden a bike?

Indeed! From what I've been told engine wise (BMW HP4) it's about the same as the Kawasaki that is in the OP.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah right. Love the Citroen, felt sorry for the atom driver lol.

The point I'm making is that you have to be pretty mental to go 175 on a bike, The wind resistance is awful and then you have the worry of stopping the thing if someone pulls out as stopping distances are pretty shocking on bikes.

I would much rather be in a car at that speed, Bikes are way faster than cars i know that far too well :clown:

Poor sod has his hands full by the looks of things lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Unless you happen to have an f1 car, a track, and a good driver (not Richard Hammond)

 

[paul_h172]

Have you riden a bike?

Yes, rode bikes for nearly 20 years. i have a honda fireblade.

It was still probably very quick, but the speed the other two went off at was (f**k this, where's the bar)

That shut me up then lol, nice bike

Head down, under the bubble?,not much resistance.

 

[imprezaworks]

Rather you than me lol. Good effort though.

Ride many track days as well. Do you ride?

 

[Jaff.]

Obviously quick, but clearly out muscled. You can see the guy struggling with it though, he actually ends up directly behind the other two.

would still have one in a heartbeat

 

[imprezaworks]

I can barely drive, I'd last maybe five minutes on a bike lol.

I'm just going on what iv'e been told, Iv'e had bikes but only off road one's!

f**k doing those speeds on a bike though!, I'm sure it's easy with experience but still! mental.

Youtube IOM TT, 190mph+ on public roads.

I watch it every year! Mentalists!

Good man! its a dying bread of racing, the TT doesn't have many years left

 

[crazycup]

TT is the ultimate race, nothing else can compare. The commitment those guys have is phenomenal.

 

[Advikaz]

Problem with doing those speeds on a bike is they don't brake as well as a car (this is why I think maybe they weren't gunning it seemingly).

A 600 sports will still beat the R8 to 60 & to 100 by a few seconds (with a good rider). A 1000 would trounce it up until very high speeds which you are unlikely to reach on a road.

Each bike is different, but it is pretty hairy doing anything above 150-60 on a bike as the front end can go light on you & if someone pulls out on you, well good luck.

That Irish video is just insane!!!!!!

The TT, every time I sit and watch it I'm just gobsmacked, they truly have some massive testicles. Or just a deathwish.
