is this a fair comparison? arent bikes wayyy better at acceleration and cornering than cars?? cars dont stand a chance against a bike.

could someone tell me the results?

I don't understand. The results are there.

If you want a true comparison then put the cream of road bikes against the cream of road cars. imo

um no, bikes are way faster in a straight line, but get to a turn and its over. Look at the radical straight line times, way slower than the race bike, but it has the same time on a bike track, where do you think it made that time up? Corners? yea that is probably it. And those thacks are all straights. Get to a good curvy track and a good car (any featured) would kill any bike (think about the lateral grip that bike tires can achieve, now think about 4 10 inch wide tires, yea) Not to mention on a real road, a bike would get destroyed. Bikes are all about straight like, I personally like the twisties.

Good read. Thanks.


Spicymustard, sorry my man, but bikes aren't all about staright lines. Well at least Sportbikes aren't. Come on now, you know better than that. Myself and everyone I ride with are into Canyon Carving (Twisties). The turns are where it's the most fun to ride. I will say, that a properly suspensioned tuned car will indeed turn better than a bike. The car has four contact patches, where a bike has two. That isn't hard to gather.

Thanks for posting this. I have not been able to pick it up in the stores yet.

Anyway guys.... Evo Mag is about cars, not bikes. It is just fair and natural that cars win. If the outcome would be different, they would need to Launch EvoBike Mag.

Anyway, I like cars much better than cars. It seems to me that bikes are too unpredictable.. you only got 2 wheels instead of 4 after all.

awesome article, now i have a semi stable answer to the bike vs car question
