Yep - unfortunately this is true. I got to race Eastern Creek a few times and it was well known that the Cars were putting in equal lap times as the bikes. Only one difference - watching the cars is like watching paint dry HAHAHA
But having said that - Bikes require much less to get up to spec for such high speeds. As somebody said already - the V8's really dont share much in common with the item you buy for the road so its not comparing apples with apples.
I never found many cars that could keep up with my first bike (cbr250rr). Now im on my 1100xx i just dont bother. I mean why? Lets go flat stick and see who's rubber fails and gets us killed first. Or worse, some copper decides to have a go and pull you over and gets himself or others killed? No good can come of it.
I just cruise around and enjoy being out in the sunshine. To be honest i miss my zx6r....some would say its a bit unadventurous but I really did love that bike ('98 model black/blue/purple with gold strike) Its not all about the stats!
