There is another with a porche and a lambo. The one with the lambo is a Ducati 999 and is .044 faster than the lambo... or something like that.

The one with the porche, the porche has the bike all the way till the end.... then the bike just blows by and back into the pit.

Check out the Ducati 999 beating a lambo...

YouTube - bike vs car

Watching this, the guy was saying it's hard to keep the nose of the bike down under heavy acceleration, is that common on sport bikes? Does the Busa do that?

I have been thinking about getting a busa... of course till business picks up all I can do is think... but that might be a problem for me, I have a lead wrist sometimes... LOL.

Yes... if you're going through the gears aggressively at WOT, the front end will rise from 1-3 on the Busa. Literbikes are even worse.

So is that just on the shift? or would that also occur by just twisting the throttle hard and quick?

with mine now, if I go from 1st to second real hard, or higher rpms, the front will go up a little, that I understand, but the way they make in sound in the video, it's just hard acceleration. Mine will not go up like that... I can hit the throttle as hard as I need and not worry about the front lifting.

I am sure there is going to be a bit of a learning curve when I do get a sport bike, no matter what size I would get... I would rather go bigger and just take it easy till I get use to it rather than start out smaller then have to trade up. But seeing that kinda made me rethink things a bit.

Some of the videos out there just amaze me... guys hitting 80-90 in first gear and when shifting to 2nd, the wheel goes up and they are on one wheel at 100+ mph... man that is just crazy. Fun to watch, but crazy LOL.
