Its very rare i race anything from a stand still anyway, what does say an R1 do 50-150mph? out of interest or even 0-150mph.

For ages i've been threatening to video my cossie against my bike to show the difference in REAL terms and not pub talk. I think when its back together i'll get this done. Can show any situation from rolling start to starting at 100mph 
Now do i let someone ride my bike or drive my car?

Just so people don't think my comments are biased, I passed my bike test (17) before my car test and so KNOW what I am talking about when it comes to know what a 500bhp Cossie can do to a bike and at what speed 
.
I currently ride a ZZR1100 of 1997 vintage (the derestricted 145bhp BUS of a bike).

I thought my spec was the best spec for the road?
Who needs 500bhp when they have a crotch rocket?
How heavy is the ZZR btw? 200kg?

I think the quoted dry weight is 220kg. Probably more like 237kg in the real world . And it only does 178mph at Brunters and is SLOWER than my old Sapphire Cossie above 100mph.

What do you call a decent one ?
Most recent is a ZXR6R, that was REALLY slow (in a straight line).
The one thing that car owners have to appreciate is traffic - unless the road is totally clear, then all it takes is one car in the way, and the bike is LONG GONE over the horizon.
Around the Nurburgring though, a well sorted 400bhp Cossie can push R1 equipped marshalls ALL the way round, so that in the end they realise you are faster and let you go in front and TRY to follow instead .
