YUP! In my 04 Cavi, wasted him too! It was a back windy ass road with bumps and nasty turns. My car stayed glued to the road like a go-cart and he couldn't keep up thru the turns. He almost went down twice and gave up trying. I waited for him to catch up at a stop sign and he couldn't belive my car stuck the way it did. I can't remember what kind of bike he had but it was no turd!

When I had my Redline, I ran a few bikes, the thing about the bikes, yeah they're going to be a little quicker (surprisingly not by much and most of them didn't know what the little Ion was capable of) but you won't catch many motorcycle riders take it much faster than about 130 because most cars are goverend around 110-120 or so, so if you can run it past those speeds then more than likely you won't have a motorcycle guy attempt to keep up with you past the 130 speed (not on the highway anyways).

What?
You must have ran into a crowd of 500R Ninjas.
That and with the short amount of time it takes to hit 130mph why would a seasoned rider stop? If your confident enough of your skills at 110 whats another 20mph?

i got beat by a 91 yzf, but beat a newer honda somehoe, it was a 600 but 100% not a cbr 600rr, he even gave me a thumbs up. the 91 yzf walked me and he started in 3rd gear, at like 50mph, and i jumped ahead but when he hit his powerband he was out.
the honda i raced was rolling with some old 250 ninja, i have no idea what kinda of bike is made that wouldnt be faster than me, maybe he just doesnt know how to ride

Well, open roads some guys will go past 130MPH, but around here the roads are too jacked up and there's just enough traffic to make the "sane" guys that ride think twice about going too fast.

A Cobalt with not have a chance against any sportbike!! It takes a lot for an exotic sports car to keep up with or even beat a sportbike so a economy car either supercharged or not will have no chance, unless the bike rider is a noob and doesn't know how to ride the bike yet!!!!

120 mph cruising and 160 mph on a regular basis. I love it. Nothing against you man, jsut saying, the people on this site are 
sometimes. I posted up about cruising at 90 MPH in my balt and get flame sprayed for three straight pages, but you post up something like that on a bike and everyone takes it in stride. Just think it's funny is all, nothing personal. Just saying.

The guys posting here about high speeds on bikes need to go ride a decent one.
120mph feels the same as 160mph not to mention a bike can do 0-160-0 before most cars hit 120mph. The only real difference between 110mph and 160mph is that you will fly further when someone hits you and you will be dead instead of retarded.
And guys my 1998 CBR 600F3 gets walked by my 2007 GSX-R600. The difference between a 1997 and 2007 is mind boggling were talking 11's vs 10's.

when is the last time you read a review of 600cc bikes?
your a hypocrite cody..always have been always will be...no matter how many lame come backs you have.I mean look at this brilliant comment:
120mph feels the same as 160mph
Or this brillaint piece:
not to mention a bike can do 0-160-0 before most cars hit 120mph.
You talk so much **** and your amazingly clueless. No wonder why everyone laughs at you openly and gives you negative rep...your an idiot

The new SS 600s are all within thenths of a second from one another.
A car there is SO much more room for error...you have so much more displacement (for the most part).
Have I lost to cars on my 600?
Of course...600s are a PITA to launch...relatively new rider and launching at 8K will make any new rider's ******* pucker. As for the Cavy beating a bike on a tight twisty techincal road...theres a reason why the lap records on tracks are held by cars 4 contact patches>2 contact patches. 600s are good for about 160 MPH any person with a 600 telling you they are going faster are lying...and it must take eight years and a day for a 260 hp car with tall gearing to get to 160...
...oh don't worry I'll be back to discuss in a little bit

FNFAST you are a f****** un-nice person so be quiet.
I was riding sportbikes before I could drive a car which was one of the perks of living in a small town.
And no **** a speedo on a bike is off common error on a new one is 10% older bikes could be as high as 15%. So take the indicated 179mph I seen and do the math close enough to 160 for me
And you mentioned magazines as an argument against what I said I read so whats that make you? I don't base my desions off anyone elses opinions but if a magazine says it's slow handles like **** and falls apart I will most likely stay away from that model be it a car or bike.
And please realize tunnel vision occurs at different times and speeds for certain people. Pretending there is a set speed that a random event happens shows how unsmart you can be.
As for people no liking me it's mostly import driving folks like you so get back in your really nice STi and take a spin!

The Cobalt has barely ever seen over 110 MPH.
^ The truth!!!!
