>>28800811Go ahead and buy the jesko if it bothers you
>Cars>Add lightness with extremely expensive materials>Slap more turbos and more boost in, hybrid drivelines for 10 seconds worth of insane torque>Bikes>No more room to stuff shit and batteries are fucking heavy
>>28800859I don't wanna buy Jesko. I wanna buy the rumored ZX-15R but it doesn't exist.
>>28800992>he fell for the AI jeet bike click bait Stay strong you're on the right path
I hate the sketchy visuals of modern Kawasakis but the H2 has a place...
>>28800999... ditch the fairing for something retro... a four into four would be nice.
>>28800811bikes cannot get faster anymore, physics is in the waya modern liter bike (as well as one from 2012, as you pointed out) is accelerating as fast as physics allows. their front tire is literally lifting off the road constantly when doing those 9.5s quarters, all down the stripthere's a couple of videos you can watch where this is visible, iirc hagerty did one where they raced a bike vs the lucid sapphire and you could see this happening.
>>28801013Race bikes now have wings for a reason.
>>28801013What if they made a retractable wheelie bar?

theres not really anything left to develop other than tires and assists. No point in adding more power if you cant put it down. good luck putting a 9 speed dct in a motorcycle
Modern road bikes need extendable swingarms that can stretch out for launches.
>>28801596Why are bikes so slow? There are street legal high 5 second cars that can drive themselves from track to track while pulling a trailer.
>>28802705Among other things, cars have more grip with 4 tires and the tires are wide as fuck.
>>28802705Look up any 'big bike' vs 'supercar' race and it's either the bike spinning for the first 100mph or trying to not flip it. Meanwhile, the cars all have launch modes and 400 section rears. New bikes have launch features too, but it's like retarding the engine for the first 1/8 mile until wind resistance and gearing catches up so that they can finally pin it.
>>28802705Street legal 5 second 1/4 mile cars? Are there?>>28802709Just get ride of the engine driveline altogether.https://youtu.be/OCZQxFPs150?si=VaLukJMs4jHJhLQh
>>28802932https://youtu.be/vL1vUzeelTA?si=twGnRXA4oUsUUuQsLook at his legs after the 1/4 lmao.Worth noting that the engine stops when it runs out of 'fuel'.
>>28801595Did that nigger steal it? Also back wheel is loose.
>>28802954WHOA.You can't just say STEAL anymore, you have to use the term 'reparated'.
