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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
