Summer is coming and the weather is warm enough to drive with the wind in your hair, or across your helmet or even bouncing off your baldy head. So what’s the fastest way to go in a straight line without a roof but with numberplate on the back?
For 2019, BMW’s superbike, the S1000RR, has been redeveloped to be lighter, more powerful and even cleverer than ever before.
Ariel’s fourth Atom puts over 300bhp from a Honda Civic Type R engine through the back wheels and weighs little over 500kg.
The 720S has monstered everything to 60mph recently, including a Senna in an Autocar video, but will it keep its crown as the drag race king, being 49kg heavier in Spider form?
Matt Prior finds out.

Nothing wrong here. Stretch it and it'll do it quicker the problem with most modern liter bikes now days is short wheel base and too much power which make the first gear useless because you'll literally flip it over if you go full throttle and anti wheelie control system and troction control limits the power way too much in frrst gear. Stretched superbikes will do 2.3s-2.5s. 0-60. Also i don't know about the car but it's possible to do 9.8s 1/4 mile on stock s1000rr, It's just requires specific skillset to launch superbikes which you learn by drag racing a lot and not at the track which most people ride these bikes there.

Anyone that's been near a 720s will know that they are no joke, genuinely superbike quick, as to the slower than possible 0-60 time on the RR, it all comes down to the rider's ability, had he not used launch control and had the skill and experience to get a good launch, I've no doubt the bike would have been far faster. Alas, people assume launch control is king and its absolutely not, after all, it's called launch control, not launch faster.

The McLaren 720S makes no sense to me. There are plethora of drag races of the 720S vs highly tuned cars that have higher horsepower/weight ratios and in cases have AWD. The verdict for the last 6 months has been the same: the 720S decimates almost everything. I know the 720S has already been put on the dyno and is producing close to or exceeding 700whp. So, the engine is producing well over 830hp. But for a RWD car to beat AWD with much more horsepower... well... I can only come to one conclusion: magic... the block is made from unicorn horns and forged in hell by Superman.

If you do the same mistake on a bike, you probably end up in a bodybag. A biker has always better reaction time than any car driver as we all get use to the high speed due to our bike`s performance. Most of these drivers have absolutely no idea what performance their car has. 720hp.. It is a lot. Most of them use these cars in the city which simply does not allow to get any serious experience due to traffic.. On the other hand, you can use your bike even in the city.
