Cars vs. Bikes, Aerodynamics!

Damn, who deleted my posts??!!

well bikes slice right through the air so there isnt much for the air to be dynamic with. cars are bigger = more stuff to get dynamic with

What the fuck? What's up with the questions lately? I understand the basics but really who gives a shit?


JC can we start a section for this scientific, theoretical solution shit so it doesn't clog up the board...

I mean hell since ya put up dirty bastards, I haven't seen hide nor hair of R7, and Revhappy.. Good deal

Your thinking of just the front of the bike. You have to include the non-aerodynamic rider and the rest of the bike that sticks out into the air flow (front wheel, bars, pegs, etc.) Just like an engineer to over complicate things and not see the obvious...

An engineer states, "Aerodynamics of cars (as a whole) are much better than that of motorcycles." For example, an Acura NSX and a Suzuki Hayabusa.

Is the engineer correct that an NSX is more aerodynamic (Cd x A) than a Hayabusa? (Hint: drag area, "true" drag)

Looking at the total aerodynamics, by what factor do you think the NSX or Hayabusa is more aerodynamic? three times better?

I spent many, many hours debating this topic a couple months ago. I calculated the scientific, theoretical solution to this question.

Bikes have a higher Drag Coefficient than cars....Not because the fronts seem aerodynamic, but there is nothing in the rear for the air to join back together. Have you seen the new body shape of the NHRA Pro stock Dragikes lately? They are using TLR (modified and extended) bodies...

Always gotta throw in the TLR thing don't ya, why can't it be Busa(modified and extended) bodies... ??? HUH? Why not?

Why ya gotta be bastardizing the thread, hehe. Its just a question, are bikes more aerodynamic?

I am sure some want to know the answer.

There is a tech section isn't there??

Oh and see







Aight whos the fucker???

I guess it's me

What part don't you understand,

cars smooth all around,

Bikes not, have big wind sail behind non areodynamic front wheel its (called a radiator), all kinds of other shit sticking out the side.

[Rice-rocket1]

"REAL engineer" must mean you’re an engineer of a train. Either that or your just very stubborn

Yes the car is more aerodynamic.

If you want a bike that is more aerodynamic then check out some of the salt flat racers and you'll find a big difference in the way that they look... Totally enclosed for better aerodynamics, that way they can go faster, easier....

So who's going riding tommorrow,

NICE THAT'S 7


What a ride it's going to be

OPh shit I forgot Sean, that makes 8, well I don't count cause ya know I'm 7's

Tell me, what is a REAL engineer??





Oh never mind that's right I DON'T GIVE A SHIT

It's the guy that runs the train.......

You mean like the guy at Edaville railroad??? That dude is fucked, he just keeps going in circles..........
