I hear what people are saying and agree mostly, though let's not neglect that the guy isn't talking about race tracks. He specifically avoids that issue and talks about winding and sweeping country roads.
There are some sharp corners in Sydney that I absolutely throw the Volvo wagon into, knowing it will slide, counter-steer and accelerate out of (ever so slowly... ). I couldn't do that on the Busa for fear of low-siding, but I have only been riding a bike for about 18 months!
I guess I'll have more of an opinion about cars VS bikes when I can ride as fast as others (say they) can... but for now if I had to get to somewhere fast, whether it was in the city or a rural area I'd still take the bike.
Basically I can't imagine being out-run on roads like he describes by any Lexus!
