thanks.
I have read many articles comparing cars with motorcycles. All state that the car can brake and corner better than motorcycles. mototcycles can out accelerate cars.
I've also ridden motorcycles for over 40 years (be it not on a track).
it's interesting that you are implying that your motorcycle stops quicker than your Boxster. have you braked hard enough for your ABS to kick in?
