Yeah, but lap times aren't really relevant since there's more to lap times than just handling.

160hp bike ought to beat a 100hp bike regardless of handling.

Then again, I saw my buddy on the motard rip many a liter bike in everything but the straights at Nashville Super Speedway.

Give me big wide bars, and I'll show you an agile, fun bike.

Seems like a common theme among those bikes.

The motard makes sense, those things can fly through the corners.
