I run with the bikes almost every weekend on the truck route. They can't keep up with the WRX in the corners but kill in the straights. I think they like me, they wave and seem to have developed some respect for the WRX and the Ghia.
When I was a kid they let bikes run the VC hill climb. Crazy fast runs but they had wrecks every day. The bikes were not allowed back after a few years. They were fun to watch!
I've commuted from Silver City to Reno for many many years and the ninja bikers I saw on the road were generaly poor drivers and pile up regularly. I'm always amazed at how few of them get hurt bad. The bikes get trashed but the drivers limp away. For a while in the 90's I would see one or two wrecks a week on the commute.
I'm sure the skilled bike racers aren't running at speed on the VC highway.
Do you guys think a bike would be competative in autocross? Sure would be fun to watch.
