a brand new out of the box gixa 1000 with a good friend of mine a writer for Rapid magazines on his first run ran a low-mid 10, I dont deny that some GTR's can beat bikes due to mine beating my brothers nija zx6 but you get a boosted busa or something of that insane nature and not many things will come close.

in that vid, the guy on the bike lifts the front on the front wheel something major off the line, and at the end of it the bike is catching the car.

my mate has a stock 97 gsx-r 600 and he ran a 11.2 at 120mph. a turbo busa will run 9's, and that is still foot shifting. if you put an air shifter on them they run quicker.

baaa - that aint ownage.

whatever makes you think that little vid of a puss 'vs' a gtr on a public street 'straight' road, is ownage?

bwahahaahah!

the ONLY TWO cars that have ever 'overtaken' me was

a) a little turbo mazda mx3 on a real cold winters morning, down in the sthrn adelaide hills near Myponga - had icing problem with the carbs on my 1996 ZX7R (research it, common complaint with the zx7r's)..... but he was flying, I never knew a little car like that could go that fast - mist have had awesome suspension as the roads were very 'floaty'.............and....

b) a early 2000 model Porsche GT3 thru the twisites in summer headn towards Strathalybn, I was on the Fireblade prior to doing the suspension, and this driver was an absolute nutter, mad driver, all over the road, very dangerous - there was no way I was going to attempt to overtake him back, he almost had 2-3 headons. was top fun but, shaking my head watching him racing to stay ahead!

During the 70,000km Ive ridden thru the Adelaide Hills on my 750cc, 899cc & 919cc sportsbikes, all Ive ever seen in my rear vision mirror is:

the eternal squabble - 4 wheels vs 2...

look at the power to weight - especially an R1, and the straight line equasion is fairly clear - in the dry.

dial in some corners, some water and some practicality, and then you have an argument.

been down to whoop-ar$e wednesday at kwinana and watched the bikes and the cars. yeah the bikes, standard, are faster. but they're bikes. different beast.

if all you want is straight line speed get a bike. you want to have a comfortable,all weather, stereo equipped, warm, girlfriend friendly transport, thats fast, fun and protects you from isiots who run stop signs, get a gtr.

btw, i also own a bike - and yes, i love it. its no more or less fun, its just different.

and a lot easier to squeeze thru traffic.

Hi,

Off the lights a highly powered gtr would beat a bike. Why? my bf says its to hard to launch a bike off the line unless you are really experienced. The average rider would not risk it in launching the bike off the line as it could overturn.

And a gtr dial in 7000rpm and he's gone...

Different story if its a rolling start on a highway or something. Im pretty sure a hayabusa and a 9sec gtr rolling along the highway the hayabusa would get it or r1 or zx12r and so on.

My father in laws hayabusa kills the powerr to weight ratio of a 900hp gtr if it was say 1300kgs.

Just my 2c , oh and my bf's.

Different Beasts, & i love em both :dry:

i've seen a skilled rider (deinately not me) run an 1100 Gixxer at Willowbank into the high 9's, no wheelie bars & didn't get the front wheel up at all. now that's talent! Love to see that up against a tried & prooven 9sec GTR..............that would be awesome!

but as for you 11.5sec & above GTR boys.................my Duke & just about any other liter bike on the road is gonna Smoke you in a straight line!!

Corners..................now that's a different story!!

the gtr would only be ahead for the first few meters. after that the bike will close the gap fast and over take it. i have a video somewhere with a race on a track between a porsche gt3 and a bike (not sure what but i think it is a r1). they are both professional drivers. overall i think they finish pretty close together. the porche is better through the corners, but down the straights the bike eats it.

lol @ comparing hugely modded car with stock bike

What's even funnier is hearing the excuses following a massively modded car getting owned by a bike that has nothing but a bolt-on turbo kit running 9psi and exhaust/airbox work... hahahaha

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
