I seem to remember Mein Fuhrer proving this last time.
The car has greater braking capability and more stability in the corners.
I think last time though it was a 1098 against a new skyline gtr.

*edit*

Didnt read the link properly before posting.
I clicked the link to find that its MCN rubbish, they would pitch a 125 varadero against an F1 car and still claim the bike was better/faster in the long run.

That was not a test. The driver looked like he was pootling to the shops. Usual MCN standard carp.

on a like-for-like basis, a car will beat a bike- Four tyres, four brakes, extra stability.


However, in terms of outright performance per unit of currency spent...well, bikes win hands down each time.

What sort of car can you get for £35,000 (new)? I expect it'll not quite be able to keep up with a desmo!

Anyway, my SV whips Ferrarri's and lambo's, i've even beaten a vayron once. Hurrah for traffic jams and filtering
