So sad that an S1000RR was in the same camera frame as a 700hp car.

I don't know how some of these guys make fast bikes so pathetically slow.

Best part was the other guy on the same bike sail right by and ride away.

We've taken down 1300+whp GTRs with stock motor S1000s, and that's letting out above 180mph on GPS, so the car had time to catch up. Car has rolling anti-lag and trapped 187 in the half mile on this setup if I remember correctly. Might have been low 19x. It now makes 1700whp.

Like most new bikes, S1000RR speedos are from the ABS sensors so they're much more accurate than older bikes.

Yeah, I was laughing when the other bike sailed by. I thought this race should have been over before it started. I just can't imagine what that rider was doing so wrong to make it that close.

Just did a Dragy pull with my friends '16 ZX10R.

He started in second gear (still cool out) and ran a verified 3.80 60-130.

That number will drop considerably when he's in the correct gear (1st).

Just making the point that 700hp cars are nowhere near modern liter bikes when they're setup and ridden correctly. Typically it takes well above 1000whp.
