Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series laps the Nürburgring in 7:25.67.
Faster than the Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12C ....
The SLS AMG Black Series has an aerodynamic body kit, an AMG Adaptive Performance Suspension, a locking rear differential and a 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 622 bhp (464 kW) and 468 lb-ft (634 Nm) of torque. The engine is connected to a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT dual-clutch transmission which enables the 3,417 lb (1,550 kg) coupe to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 196 mph (315 km/h).
I used to have a very fast motorcycle. The thing is, once you get it up above about 120 mph, the wind drag and on your helmet becomes pretty unpleasant. You feel like the helmet is going to be ripped off your head. Great thrill, though, lot more bang for the buck than a car.
I'll take a Ducatti 998.
That being said, naked bikes like Harleys are more of a chick magnet than faired bikes, and having chicks come up to me asking for a ride is a lot more of a thrill for me...
Depends on a bike. Certainly the case with a naked bike. But a sport turer is very comfortable at high speed. I had Kawasaki zx9 back in a day, eent to the max on it not once, about 170mph and lying tucked behind the screen was quite comfortable and bike was very stable. Not so much stability on pure sport bike like my last yamaha r1. Over 150mph is uncomfortable and wind buffeting is high. But on a naked one 120-140 is about it, more is creating huge drag..
