    Be a different story if the Bike rider was actually trying, he was riding it like he owned it as opposed to canning the living **** out of it IMO.

    The limits still apply though crump,,,

    any track with hard braking and quick changes of direction the car will be faster in those sections,,

    48,000 POUNDS for that bike,, sounds a lot,,,

    I once got passed by 5 (count em 5) Lambo Contaches between Maleny and Mapelton while I was on a GPZ 1100B2,but not in the bends, they were nailing me in the straights, admittedly that was a 230kg 115HP bike but back in those days supercars had 300kmh top ends, bikes took another decade or more to catch up.Oh yeah, I was trying.

    the 16" wheel wasnt too bad on the jap bikes at the time, I replaced the B2 with an FZ750, but Guzzi stuffed up putting it on the Mk4 Le Mans, (it hurt to say that Pedro),.

    Yep, on the track, but in the real world I would have passed him on the straight, reeled in another ten or so of his mates, thumbed my nose and said to myself in my helmet "see you later chicane, thats why they call them mobile chicanes."

    here's one for you Pedro, best handling thing I ever owned.Was a private import before the Mito,125cc, had it to 180kmh down Gateway and was absolutely lethal on Mt Glorious, unfortunately hopeless everywhere else.Wish I still had it.(not my pic, but mine was the same.)
