    So they are more fun because they aren't as safe and they don't corner as well.

    To each their own I suppose.

    Don't corner as well? that's not correct, a blade will handle better than a mondeo, a ferrari will handle better than a vmax , same as for safety, it's down to the person in control.
    Reguardless of what happens, depends on what vehicle you're on, the condition of it and the driver/rider.
    I hate that "Bikes are dangerous" crap, cars are dangerous, granted you have more protection in a car, but on the flip side I've never heard of anyone spending 6 hours being cut out of a bike.

    bikes are more dangerous and i reckon they probably don't corner as well, but it's more fun.


    i'm guessing the fact that a car has more tyre area on the ground at all times makes it technically better in corners

    cars are space hogs - if everybody dove bikes there would be alot less traffic strawberry jams.
    if everybody learnt to fly (without falling) enviromental issues would also be improved

    Cars corner better than bikes, for the simple reason they have about 8 times as much traction and a better balance.

    A decent car will handle better in corners than a top whack bike, this is a fact.

    Bikes have better straight line acceleration because of the power to weight ratio, however there are exceptions.

    Not just technically, actually.

    They hold the road better and can corner faster.

    depends how you define better, actually



    cornering on a bike is more fun IMO so i would say bikes are better at cornering.

    so technically by numbers cars are better, but bikes are better fun
