This is quite funny to watch… Another few seconds and the F16 would have been ahead, I am sure
Saw this on spiegel.de. I would have expected the F16 to win but obviously the motorcycle has a better power/weight ratio insofar as it reaches its top speed faster.
No surprise. Until you’ve ridden a 200 HP motorcycle you don’t know what ludicrously over powered means. 90 HP in a motorcycle is a lot, plenty enough for me anyway, and 45 is adequate to lead the pack on Alpine roads.
Probably, an electric car or electric motorbike will win this “acceleration contest” unless you add winched gliders or aircraft carrier catapulted F16s
I would have expected that too, but the Tesla came last.
The fact that an electric vehicle has good torque is near irrelevant for this contest. The motorcycle has a close ratio gearbox that allows the rider to stay very close to maximum power RPM for the entire run, after it reaches maximum RPM in first gear.
Anyone have a clue where this is taking place? The video description on YT doesn’t say.
On watching a second time I noticed they also let a bizjet take part in the background.
Turkey I think.
Depends how far you put the finish line, the bizjet could have win the 2000km finish line !
Yes, I am also disappointed by the Tesla, an electric motorcycle could have done very well? But probably not that much really, the limiting factor on acceleration of a combustion motorcycle (that one is Honda 600?) is to keep it front wheels on the ground…
The Tesla said goodbye to the other “supercars” from the start. This is a pure power to weight ratio thing, and a little but of grip 
They should have a top fuel dragster in there as well, then all the others would look like they were parked.
