video says 2x 1000cc surely not?

Lunatics, all of them! The bikes didn't seem as fast as I thought they would be, I think the riders weren't that great really.

It's one thing to leave little margin for error on your own account. It's a bit different to do the same while putting others at risk.

When I see aggressive drivers like this, I let them past. Racing fast cars from in front is a mug's game. The risks aren't comparable at all.

The bikes aren't going that fast it would seem.

I've raced an R8 V10 before, and it wasn't close at all. Then again, I don't know how hard they were trying.

What a stupid person, people shouldn't go fast in their cars, cars are too wide for that kind of fun. I once went back home from a trip, it was night and I saw a BMW in fast lane, so I flashed him with the high beam, because there was 130kph limit and he went like 90kph, the bastard moved to the right lane (your left), and the moment I pased him, he floored the throttle and start to push back into the fast lane, what I did was I kicked 2 gears down, fullthrottle, hit around 240kph and the bmw was still there, then I slowed down, and he, with no warning, drove right infront of me, he must have gotten scared or I don't know, and braked. What a cuxt, like I've got 4 wheels with ABS so I can jump on brakes whenever I want.

That's why I'm never gonna ''ask'' a slower car to move into the slow lane ever again. Car drivers are stupid and I like my life as it is, I don't need to ride a wheelchair or shit through a pipe, just because an fucker has a fast car.

I can brake and control the bike propperly, but at around 250kph, when someone crosses your lane and gives you about 10 meters of space and you see the brake lights right infront of you, in the dark on a highway which was not alight, it was a bit scary moment. I'm no race rider, but I can handle what I've got under my bottom.

But yes, it is a bit faster than the NC27 I had and yes I want to get something slower again.

CB-1.... 250kph?

[RhynoCZ]

[skyline]

Those bikes are capable of 300kph (well 186mph) then the digital clocks stop increasing, but the revs carry on meaning they go even faster, just gotta have the balls to do it. I brought a skyline r33 earlier this year kitted it out to around 500bhp and took it to the ring with the boys on the bikes, (all 1000cc gsxr and zx10 inc) and even with 500bhp under the bonnet, car wasn't even close the the litre bikes, however the compared to a 600cc bike @ 110+mph (not under) i'd be all over it a bit like that in all fairness. I reckon those bikes were more likely 6's if you ask me

[Tungtvann]

It looked that way, the bikes ran out of legs at about 150 mph when they should have kept pulling.

[UrbanRacer]

looked like he was racing no one but himself, i didn't see or hear anything to indicate the bike were going for it. I'll also agree they looked like 600's

600bhp cobra vs gsxr 1000

When I look at those numbers, it feels like ages till the car gets up to 150mph.

I don't even want to know how fast is the fastest accelerating motorcycle in the world, ZZR1400. My ZX7R should get from 0 to 125 in about 10+sec, never got even close to that number, well I didn't even try.

Agreed, that bike got gutless quite quick. We've seen all the videos on the internets showing the acceleration of bikes vs cars ... tool

Well of course the Audi driver is going to claim they were the fastest bikes on the road! Not so impressive if he only managed to beat a CB500 and SV650!
