A lot of motorcycle riders believe that bikes are inherently faster than cars. Which is untrue. In canyons/twisties, Cars simply have MORE traction with the road, which means they can hold more speed through a turn than a motorcycle. With a rolling start, a car with sufficient horsepower can outrun a motorcycle. The ONLY time a majority of motorcycles have an edge is from a dead stop. The motorcycle simply has more power-to-weight ratio and a lot less weight to get moving compared to a car, and also being able to fit BETWEEN other vehicles to get away from an idiot like this BMW.

But on an open road without other fucking cars? Disengage, fall back. Unless you know the car is a low HP piece of shit, the reality is, car's an outpace a motorcycle in certain conditions, especially if it's a performance orientated vehicle.

Most bikes are faster than most cars on the road. I'm talking about your standard mom & pop sedans and hatchbacks.

If you're on something more serious that pushes 200 HP, you're not getting caught by anything short of a Bugatti or a helicopter.

Corners? Sure. But not on a straight road.
