I think we might need something like an R8 to keep up with Bowfer's bike.
Bowfer - What's the 0-62mph and top speed of your bike.
The R8 is given by Audi as 0-62mph 4.8secs and a top speed of 187mph.
Would we stand any chance?
They don't tend to measure bikes in 0-60 terms, because it's over so quickly.
But, as a guideline, it would do 0-60 in about 3 seconds and 0-100 in about 6 seconds.
Standing start 1/4 mile is the most popular yardstick, which would be around 11 seconds and 126mph.
Top speed, just shy of 160mph.
Mine is just a 600cc too.
Go up to the 1000cc and you're looking at 10 seconds to 140mph.
In other words, even an R8 would be a speck in the mirrors.
One of the car mags (think it's CAR) do an annual car v bike test.
See if you can find this year's, as the R8 was included.
The bikes obliterated them all, even 10 year old bikes deliberately bought for £1500 by the bike magazines, to demonstrate the difference in cost v £'s spent.
In fact, the R8 wasn't even the fastest car.
