All my mates have bikes but we will use the 600RR Honda as example?  My Audi is completely stripped, just two seats. Good to get some answers. Cheers.

Completely stripped haha! You've took the back seat out! Get the door cards oot, electric windows out, Perspex windows fitted, seatbelts oot, carpets and sound deadening removed, air bags deployed then it will be a stripped out monster lol

Lol this is a funny thread indeed.

Had a CBR600F once..... 100bhp, 180kgs = 555bhp per tonne! (without rider)

0-60 in 3secs, does 70mph in 1st gear.

That's a straight forward 600cc bike. Not even talking about 750s or more.

On acceleration the bike will just jizz all over most cars out there. You can't really beat simple PtoW physics!  :smiley:

But by all means have fun trying to out do them though and mod your car accordingly.

Taking into account an average driver and rider then imo you'd only need around 350-400 bhp to keep even the litre class sportbikes honest over the 0-60 dash..
It takes far more skill to launch the current crop of litre plus bikes to their full potential in a consistent manner compared to an M3 or RS3 with an auto box for example, however once out of the wheelie zone then the advantage falls firmly to the bike and it'll just clear off into the distance unless you are packing 650bhp + imo..

Bear in mind a BMW S1000r will cover 0-150 in 10.5 seconds which is only a few tenths slower over the same measure than a Veyron super sport with 1100bhp,
However this is all straight line stuff which is not only pretty boring but does give the bike an advantage, throw in some corners and the simple fact is that it takes huge cojones to pilot a bike to the same corner speeds as a car on the public highway, I have the scars to prove it  :laugh:

Not having a dig but kind of went off topic a bit somewhere, the example was a 600cc RR and somehow some people have went into 1000+cc monsters. Should of seen that coming though. I do understand the zx12's and the 1000cc gsxr's are a whole different ball game. Cheers, Stevie.  :happy2:
