Sport rider should do a comparison to see which is faster for s's and g's. I just hate people that have never rode a bike tellng me there is now way they can be faster around a track.

there are several out there but i dont have the time to find them for you, but wanted to say I hate it when someone does a car vs bike "test" and have both on the track at the same time...like a motorcyclist is going to drag a knee when in the event of a lowslide he'll get run over by a car. Or they'll show some guy driving a car at 10/10ths and then you see the motorcycle rider barely leaning the bike over in a corner. (*cough*BBC*cough*)

Ah... the age old debate of bike vs. car. What car vs. what bike and in what situation?
How about this video? http://www.rsportscars.com/Acentral/video/c4vsr1.wmv
Motorcyclist also did a feature article a couple years ago with #34 Kevin Schwantz- the original Texas Tornado). Comparing lap times at Willow Springs between a C5 Corvette and a GSX-R1000. The bike won that one. 
A Formula 1 car will annihilate a MotoGP motorcycle. Don't believe? Check the lap times at the tracks where both series run. I mean utter and total annihilation.
Bottom line, it takes a lot more money to get a car that can "beat" a bike. But it takes a lot more skill to be able to get a bike to perform at the limit of their capabilities. Of this, there can be no debate.

First and foremost, TEvo said it best when he spoke of the amount of money it would take to get a car running with a bike. I mean, the Porche in that vid probably had a base price of around 80 or 90 THOUSAND dollars and you can get a R1 at what, around 10 grand. And I would love to see that jerk who was running off at the mouth throughout the whole video put an R1 between his legs and turn even close to the same lap time. He should go to a MotoGP race and talk all that junk and then we can all laugh as we hear the news of him getting flogged to within an inch of his life in the grand stands.
