MSP vs Sportbikes in the twisties

[daperspeed]

This car is amazing I must say. The reason I say so is that there are some really really tight mountain turns that I take the MSP to. Almost like a very tight mountain auto x you could say. I mean these turns are like nearly 90 degrees and one after the other..its crazy..super twisty road I would say. Anyways the other day I was driving in that road and there was a sport bike behind me and usually the bikes pass you on those roads but because the MSP was handling so great the bike lost ground behind me on this twisty road. At the end of the road the guy was like staring at my car...like WTF is that?!?!

I think it was like a Kawasaki, Suzuki or some other fast bike, not sure though. My question is how good do they handle? I believe those bikes handle better than cars right? And the fact that the MSP can keep up with it in the twists is amazing to me. Does this car have any limitation to its grip?? I sure havent found it.

Bikes handle well, yes, but any car with a good suspension is better...think about it, you have four wheels gripping the road, tha ike has two, smaller diamater too...however, some bikes will own all.

if the rider had balls, he woulda passed. he was too afraid to lean over, if he was leaning like is possible you woulda been gone

driver obviously had no balls or was just being safe.. not to pass you but if he got in front, with the right driver the bike is gone. i've seen cbr 600 and gsxr 750 go at it on twisties at over 120 mph. in curves knees are touching and there is not wheel chipping. at one point the bike was so far over, his foot peg was scrapping the ground. (BIG BALLS).. it all comes down to the driver. i'm sure there is someone out there that would take the twisties at the same speed our cars top out at 130-140mph.........

Crappy bike rider. He should have pwned you.

Sportbikes > cars

maybe it wasnt about the biker's balls... passing a car or risking death, serious injury, or jus seriously ******* up his bike might not be worth testing if the bike could pass the protege on a turn. (2thumbs)

Any decent rider will own an msp.

A good rider on even a 250 would hand a MSP it's ass on a nice mountain road.

Unless you're driving an F2004, just about any sportbike will mop the floor with your car.

What I believed happened is you started into the twisties with the bike behind you....and the bike had a rider that has some good sence....thus he stayed BEHIND YOU until it was safe at the other end....then if he was giving you the WTF look as in he couldn't believe you were going as fast as you were....well that was just his way of giving your car props... Take it as such and roll on down the road.

my thoughts exactly. I've even done this to other cars while in my speed. I just stay behind, and see what they'll do. Besides, they'll be the 1st ones caught on radar, not me, and I still get to where I am going faster.

bike is hard to ride on turns that come really fast one after the other, its hard to lean from one side to another really quickly

mazdaspeedpower must be a ****** retard sine he says car is better than bike, look at moto gran prix...they go around turns like twice as fast as a car would

and a REALY experienced bike rider can flop that bike from one side to the other in the blink of an eye.

Erm... I have no problem transitioning between quick lefts and rights...

 

[BlueMonsta]

yeah bike>cars.... unless its a harley or something...
sport bikes > cars....
the driver probably just wanted to be safe, or was an amature...

but hey good s***!
If I did a left-right turn, my car will just HOP... lol.. s*** load of body roll
