…I don’t think that’s true: most cars CAN outbrake motorcycles, and usually carry more corner speed as well. If the track doesn’t have too many long straights, a Civic Type R can beat a CBR600RR for this reason. Just think: four large contact patches instead of two tiny ones.

But that’s tangential. I don’t mean to take away from your point about high-performance bikes, which I think is dead-on!
