When he hits about 40yo he's gonna wish he hadn't done stupid things like this when he was young.









If he makes it that long...

Not sure what you’re trying to say here, but I’ve seen plenty of motorcycles make turns at < 10 mph and not fall on their side.

McLaren vs Ducati

Was he trying to ride a wheelie or was that just the first time that he had ever gotten on the throttle? That was pathetic. I was expecting a high speed crash - he didn't even get out of the blocks.

I laid a bike down last week and ended up in a similar situation where I wasnt severely injured. I was going quite a bit faster than that. That tuck and roll is kinda instinctual.

Motorcycles just can't compare to automobiles in terms of overall performance. A roadgoing vehicle needs at least four contact points with the ground to be stable about the roll axis.


Guess you don’t follow motorcycle racing on road courses, there are bikes that have lap times within 3 seconds of F1 cars on the same course.

Will it out accelerate that motorcycle?


Here’s your answer....

quote:

The 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S Does Not Disappoint at the Track. No more suspense: our 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S (992 generation) test car hit 60 mph in 3.0 seconds flat and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 11.3 seconds at 125 mph.

Link

quote:

Kawasaki H2 specs
Performance

0 - 60 mph 3.1 s
0 - 100 mph 5.0 s
0 - 150 mph 9.4 s
0 - 160 mph 11.0 s
0 - 180 mph 16.0 s
1/4 mile 9.8 s @ 152.2 mph


LINK


So as you can see the Porsche 911 hits 60 MPH .1 seconds faster than the Kawasaki Ninja H2. But in the quarter mile the Ninja comes in at 9.8 while the 911 at 11.3.

The Ninja also outclasses the 911 in top speed, and it’s not even close...

quote:

Kawasaki quoted the H2R maximum speed to be 380 kilometres per hour (240 mph). After training and preparing for four months, a speed of 400 kilometres per hour (250 mph) in just 26 seconds was claimed by a video-recording of the bike's dashboard display.

LINK

quote:

2020 Porsche 911 Drivetrain Up to 443 horsepower. Up to 390 pound-feet. 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds. Top speed at 191 mph. PDK transmission. Optional seven-speed manual. Optional AWD. Hybrid model possible.

LINK (note this link lists the 911 as having a 0-60 time at 3.2)

Im honestly impressed that he just stood up and started walking after that. I know he wasn’t going very fast but he skidded and flipped down about 30 feet of road right there.

But did you watch the other video in the recommended video of a Porsche vs Motorcycle?

Wouldn’t surprise me if neither of these guys are no longer with us by now

How fast would a car take those turns? Still less than 10mph?

I don’t get the downvotes on your statement. It’s a fact.

That’s a Carrera S. The Turbo is in the 600s.
