4 against 2

Ever since my Power bike experience I've developed a new respect for these beasts. This prompted a heated argument between I and a few friends when Kelli showed up in his cruiser. The beef, would the fastest bike in the world outrun the most power production car in the world?
These video's might help make things clearer.

Ducatti Desmosedici vs Ferrari 430 Scuderia



Nissan GTR vs Kawasaki ZX-14


I can make out 1 thing from these videos, on a track (twisty roads), if the power to weight ratios of both bike and car were similar, the bike stands a much better chance of out pacing the car for the simple reason of quicker acceleration. Flat out, the car will eat the Bike up. The reason, Cars always have higher end speeds than Bikes.

The solution to this debacle depending on where you stand is to see a comprehensive test against the fastest and most powerful production car(the Bugatti Veyron) go up against the Kawasaki Ninja ZX -14.
All Bike loving fans shouldn't expect much though as the GTR in the video above has about 1/2 the power output of a Veyron.... pretty sure that wouldn't be a battle!!!!!!!!!
