In the end though, most sports cars, given enough ground, would catch most bikes. Even the most powerful ones. Due to the incredible power to weight ratios on most, if not all, bikes bikes have the advantage in acceleration, but bikes can handle only so much power because after awhile it just can't put the power down.
Yup, with comparable power, bikes will leave cars in the dust from the start to about 125mph. However, it's not the point of riding a bike. Kneedrag FTW.
