F1 cars weigh about 1250 lbs. No one here will ever touch an F1 car, so that comparison is largely irrelevant.
Same goes fo the GP bike.

For someone who posts this much you are not very knowledgeable about anything really, just very opinionated.
I've noticed this as well.

You like your bikes. I like my cars. At least I can go snow drifting in my car.

Again, you seem to be missing the entire point: performance street bikes offer an outstanding performance bargain relative to performance street cars, this has nothing to do with GP bikes/cars

At the club level at Texas World Speedway...

A recent SCCA club race result shows a GT1 class Corvette driver doing 1:40.625. I have no idea the car's state of tune. To compare, a GT2 class 911 GT3 did 1:47.234 at the same race.

The CMRA track record on a motorcycle there is 1:41.717. Looks like most literbike race results are in the low 1:40's at expert level.

Draw your own conclusions.

i think your missing the point. arguing about rather or not a bike is faster than a car is worse than racing a v6 mustang and a civic. it reminds me of this :
