NUTKIN Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I heard a long while ago that the sups can beat a bike side by side but cant remember what bike or details. Thought it was r1 but not sure having major fall outs over this subject. PLEASE HELP SETTLE IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUTKIN Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Not sure it was something i heard ages ago an i found it hard to get my head round but it was aparently true just trying to find out the details so shut me mates up. It was something like side by side at 50mph and they both gun it then the sup has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Your first question has far to many variables left out to possibly answer. The short answer is, depends on car and bike, but in general a bike will always win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osso Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Straight line, bike every time. On the twisties im sure the sup would probably have the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff meade Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 type in supra on youtube and you will lots of clips of a supra v a r1 i watched a few with diffrent results link added http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=supra+vs+r1&search_type=&aq=f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 A 500bhp supra will be roughly same as a 600 bike after a rolling start though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 to beat an R1 you would need big bhp mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 to beat an R1 you would need big bhp mate. American 1200rwhp drag beasts will beat an r1 on a straight but would then get "done" on the twisties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 There are some videos of it being done, but the cars are tuned to the max with crazy bhp, most of the videos seem to be from over in the states. Really depends on the conditions and the modifications. If you modify the bike, the car has no hope. If it's raining, maybe the bike has a tough time I think 600cc bikes or less are beatable with the right car, the really high power 1000cc+ bikes, well that's very tricky.

GeordieSteve Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've kept up with a fireblade on a rolling start but standing start anything with any guts should have most Supras. My old R1 was a monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Bikes ain't so tough - I've been silly speeds vs. a few and above a ton there's not a great deal in it even for a stock Supra TT 99% of bikers don't have the cahones to use them properly and that helps /queue the usual bikers / bikes rules the world nonsense posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I heard a long while ago that the sups can beat a bike side by side but cant remember what bike or details. Thought it was r1 but not sure having major fall outs over this subject. PLEASE HELP SETTLE IT Maybe you're referring to the famous "Supra vs Hayabusa" video? It wasn't a stock Supra. Might not have been a stock 'busa either, and it's from a 70mph rolling start. WUwPBNrunYk Search for "Walser Supra".

Kopite Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've raced and beaten a few bikes on 50-60 lepton pulls, don't think i've had a 1000cc bike come up yet, i expect i'd get creamed there. I know Michel has raced an R1 i think, think he "won" as well, whether that was an outright win or whether the biker bottled it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4packet Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 99% of bikers don't have the cahones to use them properly and that helps Exactly.... Most big thou's are bought for the pub talk and the paint scheme. Not many out there prepared to hold full throttle in the right gear for long. A 50-60 rolling start is 1st gear which would flip most born again bikers onto their rear! The bike v car thing is all about the variables: the course, the speed and the skill(inc will to survive beyond next year) of the rider/driver. Up to 120/140 most bikes have the potential edge. I commute on mine and I can definitely beat any car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CoolsBlue Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I CAN SAY, i personally have seen a single turbo supra beat a bike in the flesh, damn that was a bad ass race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I remember the journey home from picking up my brothers 1st R1, on the A43 I gave the Supra absolute death to a very naughty speed, my brother just popped a wheelie along side me about 400 yards long then effed off. I did beat him on his 3rd R6 once along a twisty A road in the rain, in a 1.3 Hyundai, and his 1st R6 in the dry with the Supra, but like someone said, skill and balls count much more on a bike.

Burble Burble Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 then again, do it with a bike in nice cold weather, his fingers will cramp and he wont be able to hang on for long, you'll be in the warmth, humming along to Des O Connor, waving at him with your spare hand.
