500 HP cars, race a 600 CC Bike 800 HP cars, Race a 750+ bike 1000 HP cars Take on a Haybusa/ZX14/ H2/H2R That 700HP car had no business taking on a BMW s1000. Not even close...
I hate bike vs car drag races. They don't prove all that much. If you want great acceleration, get a bike. If you want to reach a ridiculous top speed, get a sports car like a Corvette. But that S1000RR is one bad ass bike. German engineering at its finest haha.
The top speed difference between the Corvette and the RR isn't that big. 305 km/h and 330 km/h... And it's mostly because of the shitty Gentleman's Agreement, I think modern 1000cc sport bikes also could do 330 km/h without that.
TheNorderstedter1980 denke, dass liegt daran, dass er das vorderrad am boden behalten wollte, ab 10k im 1 ist das nämlich nur noch recht schwer möglich ;)
the cool thing about a sportbike is, that it offers loads of fun, adrenaline and a performance that most car drivers can't even imagine.. i can hop on my ZX-10R '04 in the morning ride to the next track, spend the day racing for fun at racecar pace, ride home and use it as a commuter the next day.. for a few thousand bucks! you just can't beat that. i couldn't care less if there is a faster car. if one passes me at top speed on the autobahn, i will happily try to follow and enjoy its sound.
few cars will actually give litre bikes a run for their money..put the bike up against the agera r or agera one to one or any of the new so called hypercars like la ferrari, p1 or 918 spyder then we'd have a fair race
Sen De Silva All other variables equal, this is a weight to horsepower contest, with the Corvette at a minimum 40% DIS-advantage. In rough numbers, Corvette with driver weighs 3700, divided by 700 = 5.28. The S1000RR with the rider weighs 600, divided by 204 = 2.94. That's a 44% disadvantage for the Corvette.
There are three factors to acceleration. Power, weight, and traction. And the last time I checked, whether a piece of metal came from America or Europe doesn't affect any of the above. But, if you really want to argue over the internet for whatever reason - car vs bike, Europe vs America, your penis against his penis, etc - here are some factoids: Bike Quarter: Larry 'McBride' 5.799 Sec / 235.80 MPH Car Quarter: T. Schumacher 4.441 Sec / 330+ MPH
all the bike hates aren't too impressed suck it up, as people are saying you need a 1:1 power/weight ratio to get close to that bike, off the line the only thing that will come close is a 4wd 1000hp+
let me warm up my "everything you said was wrong" speech : 1. The rider of this motorcycle is on the bmw factory team, most likely he is very good at it 2. This motorcycle has (ASR) which is anti-slip regulation which then suppresses the spark sequence in order to keep the front wheel down, which actually allows him to accelerate faster. 3. refer to number 1
@codyschuyler And it's transported internationally via 747 with ROLLS ROYCE engines! The bikes are shipped in crates lifted by Toyota fork lifts. They are carried in ships built by Kawasaki.
They tried to show that the corvette was fast by having the BMW S1000RR short shift at 9-10,000 Rpms. Watch and he shifts at 9-10,000 RPMS. The Corvette never even had a chance at the start. The BMW has been proven to be faster then the Hybusa.
A slipper clutch is a back-torque limiter... it operates when the wheel tries to spin faster than the engine. That doesn't work in reverse, and certainly isn't applying when he is going through the gears. That would just be a slipping clutch, which I doubt on a new bike. That is beside the fact that he hit a bump as he was lofting the front. Consider that if the rear spun the engine management would have cut the ignition momentarily. Generally people who speak the most have the least to say...
MotoGP bikes hold the top speed records on some of the GP tracks. 230mph all day long. Just not the lap records. We accelerate harder and go faster on top, we just don't have four tires worth of corner grip.
@ic069 MotoUSA kept it pinned around thunderhill raceway and because of the traction control it never threw the rider, winner both on track and street.
Thats right , but what a shame for the us-car if a rider like TEASLEY would race against this corvette ? The belgium rider in this vid has been very kind !
I think it's funny when people talk shit about American cars. They really just don't understand. American cars (while they don't have the racing pedigree as the Germans) are just plain cool. To me American cars elicit emotions, unlike the pure function of German cars. Compare a Viper or Mustang or Vette to any cookie-cutter Mercedes, Audi, or BMW and you quickly see what I mean. Compare a 70s Cuda to a 70s Porsche. See??? Neither is better, just different.
No it wouldn't. Maybe its interior would rape the shit out of an American car, but that's about it. A new Z06 could eat those cars alive without even thinking about it. Straight line or corner.
If it weren't for motorcyclists, we wouldn't have any organ donors; so back off haters. Now that I have your attention, while everyone has, and is entitled to their opinion, what other people 'should' do is up to them - as long as it does not cause harm to anyone else. I know plenty of responsible bikers, and some not so much. Being one of the former, I ride for pleasure and have cars for everyday stuff. That is MY choice. Choice. That is what freedom is all about. Live it responsibly.
@sw1000xg bikes are for people who prefer to risk more so they have more fun instead of hiding behind half a tonne of metal infront of them to protect them
you know the funny thing is the corvette is a very capable car in the corners. just shows how much you know. and the funny thing is a ZR1 has a better lap time the GT3 RS on the nurburgring.....a track that is far from a "touring" road but I am sure you know this.
@sincityracer1 Agree. The one car that would beat this bike the BMW S1000RR is the Koeningsegg Agera R. But that is an 1100 HP Hyper-car (IE beyond super car).
@Swecan76 Well after some digging. BMW S1000RR 0-60 at 2.7 sec. Agera R 0-60 2.9 sec S1000RR did a test at 9,93 sec 1/4 mile and was fastest among stock super bikes. Agera R does it in 9.3 seconds. The Agera R just keeps on going though and reaches 200mph in that record 17.68 sec. So I'd say they are pretty equal for 1/4, but the Agera doesn't let up speed the higher it goes, so it wins out that way.
@eRRiklc The only problem with the donorcycles is how easy it is to put one off the road. Road kill, gravel, car on 'barely' on your side of the road. Lost 7 good friends on bikes from crotchrockets to cruisers, some with little experience and some with 30 years of riding. I will stick to the 4 wheels. Watched a guy trying to stay ahead of my slightly modded Trans Am on curvy roads and lay it right on it's side because of a little gravel, I didn't have any problem but keeping from running over.
They are not even close to the technical level of an F1 car,the steering wheel costs more then the entire bike you really think a 20k bike has the same tech in it as a multi million dollar race car? You're dreaming.
The poor driver of that car. He never learns. It's the same guy that got his butt whipped by an 1199 S while racing an Audi RS4. Just look up Ducati Panigale 1199 S vs Audi RS4
@FireOfEire Except for numerous riders at the Maxton and Texas Mile strips, who put their stock and highly modded streetbikes to the test from a standing start. The best so far is 278 mph from a Turbo Hayabusa at the Texas Mile last October. There are several other runs faster than the Veyron SS from street legal bikes. Remember these speeds are reached in 1 mile from a standing start. The Veyron took over 4 miles, a special test track and special tyres to reach 266 mph.
Germany has cars that can actually race. You know, take corners and turns? Have fun with your american cars seeing how fast you can go in a straight line, that is no fun at all! Germany knows what they are doing
not to mention the bmw doesn't even "wake-up" until 10k rpm and the guy shifted out of first at like 9k. So if the bmw was really on it, it would REALLLLLY own this vet. I know cause I have one ;)
(ASR) is actually a program that is able to be turned off on the bike, i think it is actually an option but ive never looked into it. This bike is actually the fastest 1000cc on the market and if you have ever seen bmw's video on it they boast a 1 to 1 power ratio.
If you want a fair race, give the corvette a quarter mile head start.
Nah, it'd still lose. Best to throw in some curves.
That sound... I love bikes !
500 HP cars, race a 600 CC Bike
800 HP cars, Race a 750+ bike
1000 HP cars Take on a Haybusa/ZX14/ H2/H2R
That 700HP car had no business taking on a BMW s1000. Not even close...
BMW S1000RR beats Veyron SuperSport on acceleration. You don't need 1300 CC + bikes to beat 1000 HP + cars.
Yes, thats the point I am getting at. Its just a generalization.
That BMW S1000 RR is the devil.
Haha Mercedes Truck delivers BMW motorcycle... :D
maybe because there's no BMW truck? :D
The S1000RR is a monster. Even a stock one can beat the Corvette easily.
I hate bike vs car drag races. They don't prove all that much. If you want great acceleration, get a bike. If you want to reach a ridiculous top speed, get a sports car like a Corvette. But that S1000RR is one bad ass bike. German engineering at its finest haha.

Race starts at 3:50
Man beachte: Werner hat schon bei 9000u/min geschaltet. Ab 10.000 geht die BMW erst richtig. BMW Kläuse halt ;)
TheNorderstedter1980 denke, dass liegt daran, dass er das vorderrad am boden behalten wollte, ab 10k im 1 ist das nämlich nur noch recht schwer möglich ;)
These guys sound like they have something stuck in there throats and cant hock it up. LOL
To use a quote from the movie Grandma's Boy " This is like if Tyson fought an infant" LOL Of course neither car, nor bike are stock by any means.
the cool thing about a sportbike is, that it offers loads of fun, adrenaline and a performance that most car drivers can't even imagine.. i can hop on my ZX-10R '04 in the morning ride to the next track, spend the day racing for fun at racecar pace, ride home and use it as a commuter the next day.. for a few thousand bucks! you just can't beat that. i couldn't care less if there is a faster car. if one passes me at top speed on the autobahn, i will happily try to follow and enjoy its sound.

the s1000rr could still beat the p1 I watched the panigalle 1199 ducatti, vs the p1 and it just one and I know the s1000rr can destroy the 1199
Only things that can touch bikes are super modded super cars ie UGR GALLARDO, 1500-2000 hp!
Sen De Silva All other variables equal, this is a weight to horsepower contest, with the Corvette at a minimum 40% DIS-advantage. In rough numbers, Corvette with driver weighs 3700, divided by 700 = 5.28. The S1000RR with the

Gotta say, that ZR1 looks DEADLY. God damn Germans. Tuned.
I think the Corvette driver knew the result just before the start of the race.That constipated look.Lol
Nitesh Srivastava The guy standing next to the car said he may have a chance if he gets the power down without wheelspin...
The Magical Word: Power to Weight Ratio. No matter which vehicle.
wait that guy driving the corvette looks like jeff daniels from dumb and dumber
And 5 minutes later... the car finishes. That's why we ride the bikes.
love how the bike short shifted at the start
I love how the truck has a BMW sticker on it and has a Mercedes Benz badge on it.
I am NOT a Vette guy, and hate cars in white. But OMG that is one of the most beautiful cars that i have ever seen.
Considering that Corvette is a low 10 sec car the bike is a fucking FIGHTER AIRCRAFT, that kind of speed is just epic.
I love how the driver of the Corvette keeps saying "there's just no chance..." he's flooring the car and the bmw simply rockets away from him

Car Quarter: T. Schumacher
4.441 Sec / 330+ MPH
Even a Bugatti Veyron SS can't beat this bike until it hit the limiter
That is the sickest looking corvette rear-end that I have EVER seen.
I seriously have no idea why people make these vids. A car will NEVER beat a motorcycle.
A superior power-to-weight ratio will always kick horsepower's ass!
Before the race even starts. The driver in the Vette knows he's totally screwed
all the bike hates aren't too impressed
suck it up, as people are saying you need a 1:1 power/weight ratio to get close to that bike, off the line the only thing that will come close is a 4wd 1000hp+
BMW - about $25,000
That Corvette - well over $100,000
I love the ZR1 but this is no contest
@ManKidDudeBro It´s a tuned ZR1, modded by Geiger Cars (Munich, Germany)
let me warm up my "everything you said was wrong" speech : 1. The rider of this motorcycle is on the bmw factory team, most likely he is very good at it 2. This motorcycle has (ASR) which is anti-slip regulation which then suppresses the spark sequence in order to keep the front wheel down, which actually allows him to accelerate faster. 3. refer to number 1
It´s amazing how slow a 700 HP can look :)
anyone else find it funny that the truck carrying the BMW is a Merc? i Lol'd
the best looking vette i have ever seen
Ich find´s sooo geil die Fresse, wie abgefuckt der ist am Ende hahahahaaha einfach göttlich 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the s1000rr is the only bike that catches my eye
@codyschuyler And it's transported internationally via 747 with ROLLS ROYCE engines! The bikes are shipped in crates lifted by Toyota fork lifts. They are carried in ships built by Kawasaki.
i would be nice to call this a HUMILIATION !!!
This is why I want a street bike.
and you cant make a "insert supercar here" handle like a "insert supercar here"
To beat an S1000RR?
Easy, bring something that has more than 1000 horsepower.
The BMW is faster than even the Veyron Supersports with 1200hp
It's just foolish to think that horsepower alone can beat the BMW.
chill guys, I meant the BMW is that hard to beat not saying bmw is easy to beat.
only something has 1000+ hp stands a chance.
endjexejac no actually you need 1500+ hp
Holy shit ball... love that BMW!
that is the sexiest corvette i have ever seen
They tried to show that the corvette was fast by having the BMW S1000RR short shift at 9-10,000 Rpms. Watch and he shifts at 9-10,000 RPMS.
The Corvette never even had a chance at the start. The BMW has been proven to be faster then the Hybusa.
4:40 I could listen to that sound forever
Translation; Our Porsche, Our BMW, Our Mercedes, and our Audi cars got smashed by American Muscle. We're pullin out the bikes now.
PHILLY, this one is a "Geiger Corvette".
Damn that's a nice ass Corvette ZR1
That was one hell of a whoopin! LOL
Im American and in my opinion America barely has an cars that can out perform a European car if any, I would take a bmw over a Corvette anyday.

Generally people who speak the most have the least to say...
What I am saying is ,in ultimate performance , cars win.
When I am in my car, I feel restricted and constrained. When I am on a bike, I feel free. Live free or die.
In deed , motocrossriders command their bikes very good , in all situations !
MotoGP bikes hold the top speed records on some of the GP tracks. 230mph all day long. Just not the lap records. We accelerate harder and go faster on top, we just don't have four tires worth of corner grip.
Une shupershportmeister is definitely the best word in this video
Its a race bike that's not even street legal .If cars are slower than bikes , they wouldn't have more records.
A new ZX10R with a reflash and same bolt ons will give an S1000RR a run for its money :)
whoever did that to the ass of that corvette, deserves to be kicked in the nuts.
Essa Máquina é IMPRESSIONANTE,tanto em beleza,quanto em desemenho a S 1000 RR dá Show!!!
i love how we wait like 3 seconds before the car passed the line ...lol.. owned...
This same bike destroyed a 918 and Veyron so no suprises here.
@ic069 MotoUSA kept it pinned around thunderhill raceway and because of the traction control it never threw the rider, winner both on track and street.
Thats true, but... the balls required to pilot either machine the riders always win!
I saw the same thing happen to the Veyron. No contest. BMW rules.
Funny, I think those tail lights made the Corvette look good.
@guitaristwagner stock is 192, but it has a special intake on the front that can make it 200
4:25.... "see you lateeeeeeerrrr" ....I freacking love bikes
Thats right , but what a shame for the us-car if a rider like TEASLEY would race against this corvette ? The belgium rider in this vid has been very kind !
0-60 has nothing to do with racing. When I'm on a race track, the last thing I'm thinking about is my 0-60 time.
I think it's funny when people talk shit about American cars. They really just don't understand. American cars (while they don't have the racing pedigree as the Germans) are just plain cool.

Yes ! By dragtimesinfo , selected results with the slowest times which bikes ever done !
@QuickXilver MTT Y2K ...and many tuned ,legal bikes .200hp is not the magic boundary for a bike.And its very simple to give a bike this power !
He left the vette like it was sitting still
I'm a Vette man, but that Bimmer is impressive!!
@Migachello I'm pretty sure they help people commute to work every day so they can build your aftermarket parts.
No it wouldn't. Maybe its interior would rape the shit out of an American car, but that's about it. A new Z06 could eat those cars alive without even thinking about it. Straight line or corner.

Such champs that they pull their BMW with a Mercedes truck.

Not sure what they were saying in the beginning but of course only the germans would find the tarmac an interesting topic of conversation lol

The topic of cars vs bikes has been beaten to death in the past. Here's an interesting tidbit, these comparisons are for fun.
Any car have chances against a superbike!
Good video!
They should make a comparison video with a 1000 horsepower GTR!
It would be even more interesting if the Corvette had to go around some curves....... BMW would fly ahead.
We can travel on snowy days and still be warm.
If it's road legal or not is irrelevant, it's the equivalent of an F1 car on a technical level, or at least a LMP1 racecar.
