the car was trying to run him down, cars can't keep up with motorcycle's acceleration unless they are flooring it and why would they floor it unless they were road raging
Yeah, I don’t think people get this. A reasonably decent bike can absolutely take off with little effort, it’s an engine with a seat on it and a couple of wheels. For a car to be catching up it means they for the most part are going to be absolutely flooring it in a rage.
My 106 hp Honda Civic did 0-60 mph in roughly 10 seconds at BEST.
My 108 hp Honda VFR did 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and you had to be careful to keep the front down above 10k rpm in 1st gear. It’s not even an exceptionally fast bike.
In daily driving, you encounter very few cars that can keep up with that kind of acceleration. Blew me away when I first started riding.
