The only time I've come close to head on crashes in recent years have been twice when 318 driver's thinking they have a M3 have been trying to pass something in a distance thats toooo small

Kaz that is all so true!!!
I know there must be a few good BMW drivers but there are a lot of them who are just shite!!!

you should also add spotty oiks in subaru's who just have to try and prove its quicker than a bike. Had one today who just couldnt accept that his little toy wasn't quick enough.

when i'm on the isle of man, there is a guy with a scooby he's rebuilt himself, and he can fly round the mountain, says that nearly all bikes get in his way, he can carry more corner speed and that the bike will sometimes pull away in the straights,

guess there is something to be said for a wheel at each corner then, rather than a pair front and back.

I cant beleive any of you are suggestin a car is faster than a bike. Even a scooby!!! You should all feel ashamed of yourselves.

i seem to recall didn't Top Gear do a Honda NSX against a CBR1000 around their track???

would of been some time ago, but if my memory is correct the car won

as the bike accelerates quicker but can't carry corner speed, i believe the car just had the overall edge

i hope u aint havin a go at me there either>??
I know my bike is quicker than my scoob.... have already proved the fact ( straight line speed that is) but mine is only a 2000 turbo ( 225bhp)
the wrx sti's have much more bhp.. but acceleration wise.. the bike will win every time.

some of the other bike riding scoob drivers on scoobynet do say that if you put a series of corners into the equation, then the scoobs may just have the edge.

At least we know how to use our indicators anyway !!!!!
and scooby drivers aren't all spotty oiks !!
and although mine can be a toy.. it is my everyday mode of transport!

I wasn't havin a go at you kaz, last I saw a picky of you you were not a spotty little oik, unlike the w@nker I had the pleasure of meeting on the road yesterday. I have no problem with scoobies just when they have spotty little oiks in. He wasn't capable of putting through the corners quickly just booting it in a straight line, even I can do that.
