Again, wow...you guys are a bunch of n00bs. Explain to me how quarter-mile E.T.s come into play here. Is there a part of the video that I missed where they went at it from a dig?
Bikes are nowhere near as fast as they are at high speeds relative to their 0-60 and 1/4-mile acceleration figures. They are as aerodynamic as an office-chair and lack the sheer power to overcome that. It doesn't matter what a car runs in the 1/4-mile, if it traps above 120 MPH, it will likely walk away from a 600cc sport-bike when speeds get into the triple-digits. Sure a stock R6 even with an average rider runs a high-10 @ 130+ MPH, but only the later is what counts when you are talking about high-speed acceleration. Even then, a 1/4-mile trap-speed naturally has low-end acceleration factored in. A car wont even have to trap the same as a bike to walk away from it at speed, say a 60-150 MPH roll.
