BUT...On a roll, especially on the highway, a bike isn't all that great compared to a car because a bike has very little torque

Also a 6cyl. turbo would do the job also

There really is no way to comapre the two. If you put the same kind of work into a bike as that guy did to his car then the outcome could have been different.
An example of a street legal bike you don't want to mess with

You're right. Comparing a bike with a car is really not a good comparison.
I still stick to my previous statement. Depending upon the driver, it is possible for a protege to beat an Accord but highly unlikely.
If anyone in North Jersey wants to run, I'll pull out the Accord and we can test out this factor
