With suspension work and slicks it would be pretty close at a track like EC with a rider like stoner. As far as a straight line goes most late model 1000cc sports bike are capable of high 9s over the 1/4 with a gun rider and that's a standard road bike.

I think v8 sc are around the 1.30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a gp bike Edited 02/03/14 11:57 AM by LU82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 11y 7m 25d Posted 02/03/14 12:32 PM Share Posted 02/03/14 12:32 PM Aus superbikes pretty much start off as a standard road bike then they remove all the road gear and fit race glass, upgrade suspension and slicks as well as full exhaust ( im not sure what the rules are as far as enging work goes but if any I think its minimal)Then you have world super bikes which have more work done to them and after that its gp bikes whick are completly different to the road going cbr1000. But at the end of the day f1 cars are heaps quicker than any bike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
