^^ having about 60,000 miles on sport bikes over the years I well versed in the straights vs turns issues.. I specifcally mentioned straights and freeways cause thats what you seemd to be commenting on..

And the number of cars that can chase down a 600cc below 120mph or so are few and far between.

I am also sure you have "chased" sport bikes through tight roads with your 4WD and maybe not perfect surfaces where the rider didn't feel falling down was worth the chase

While it may sound "easy" to chase down a well riden sport bike - dont kid yourself, while a car can be made to beat a bike - its not always that easy.

99% of the time on the street I would say one is beating the rider not the bike

That other 1% you better be prepared for a battle royale
