If you was riding your ZX10R @ 80-100mph on the motorway and had a 360 modena creep up behind you, then from that speed accelerated you would pull a huge distance from the car that by the time he started to creep over 180mph (ZX10R top speed), the race would be finished. If you just happen to be doing 150mph on your ZX10R and a 360 appears in your wing mirrors, and you then accelerated - the distance initially, that you would pull would not save you from the 360s huge 195mph top end. A bikes acceleration the faster it goes tends to suffer greater then a very fast car.

Cars to watch and are likely to meet, are 911 Turbos, TVR Cebera's 4.5L V8s, TVR Speed 6's. These cars have very strong acceleration from 120mph.





And before people mention that bikes Aeoro's are crap, no they are not! Just consider that 160bhp is always going to have a hardeer time pushing through a 150mph gale then let say 450bhp.
