F1 cars are slow in the quarter mile, they take around 2.2 seconds to get to 60 and run around a 9 second quarter, you can buy a car of e-bay.com for about $25,000 that will remove the ass of an F1 car in a straight line. The main pace of the F1 car is in corner speed, where the bikes tend to get left behind, especially since the F1 cars have lost 200 or so horsepower. If you want a better comparison of pure straight line speed, try it against an indy car, they are properly fast. They also have wings made for speed, rather than cornering. The massive downforce on an F1 car would only hinder the time, i doubt it would breach 150 MPH during the run so it is hardly like it needs it.
For reference the Harley Destroyer (factory drag bike) has around 190 horsepower (though it does have a square slick and a good wheely combatting length) and runs low 9's and is reckoned to be in the 8s with a good (light) rider.
But, as has been mentioned, this would not be a good way of deciding who was the better driver really, though it takes a good technique to keep a bucking car in a straight line whilst under 8 lateral gs of acceleration (recently recorded in the cockpit of a top fueler, who said driving in a straight line was easy?). ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

I'd watch it, can't see it actually happening though. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |

I could see it happening if they shared sponsors like the Marlboro organised Max Biaggi (i think) VS Tommi Makkinen VS Michael Schuhmacher thing a while ago.
Would be an awesome sight. Isn't there some competition called "Ultimate driver" or something? There was a tournament where drivers would compepte in different disciplines, and the overall winner took the trophy. Schumacher dropped out in the second round! It would be nice to see bikes integrated into that, then we would have a proper comparisson of who is faster.

This race will never, ever happen. Ever.
No, really, it won't. It's all for the PR coverage in the media.

It would be a good idea if they did let Rossi and Alonso duel. I'd imagine there would be huge publicity and a lot of money to be made. ____________________ Go back to bed - You have no rights - "Streetfighters ~ Mainstream motorcycling's crackwhore sister." |
