Didn't quite believe it so repeated it with me driving the car and the other person riding the bike and the result was exactly the same.
You don't need a massive amount of power to stay with a 600 sportsbike from a rolling start. A 500ish hp GTR would do it I'd imagine.

Big bore bikes are going to need a lot more power, completely different animal.
Will a 500hp GTR run a 10.9??? I wouldnt have thought so i would think you would need 600hp+

The vid I posted was a 2002 zx6 with a decent rider (NOT mag journo) , decent times rely far more on good technique than it does with cars.

Blasting some muppet on a sportbike is no great achievement A)If he isnt trying or B) has no talent
