    well here is a comment that isnt smart ass. Those are professional riders. Plus, have you noticed that when a car outruns a bike, its on top end? if you get a car that runs the same 1/4mi. as a bike and run them both from a 40-50mph roll, the car will beat the bike in the 140mph+ zone. Once you get to a certain speed, aerodynamics become a huge factor. Cars that have the power to turn an ET the same as a crotchrocket have enough power to overcome they're lack of aerodynamics to a point so they dont have to worry about them untill even higher speeds. Ever notice that a foxbody mustang is such a popular drag car, but has the aerodynamics of a brick?
