Respectfully, if you're mowed down by a soccer mom while using your 500 hp Porsche to it's potential, I suspect you wouldn't fare much better...maybe worse.

Lastly, I don't think anyone asserted that bikes were for everyone. If an adrenaline rush is your goal, and you don't have $115+K to throw around (and you're not "afraid" of soccer moms while riding) a bike is, in fact, a no brainer.

Someone pee in your cheerios this morning?

It's a stupid, apples to oranges comparison. Your point was that a $10k sport bike has similar performance to a $110k sports car. Great. Should we also compare it with an F-16? Dollar for dollar, bikes always outperform cars.

If you're not worried about being mowed down by an SUV while you're on a bike, you're not particularly bright. I'm sure that most of the riders on here would agree that situational awareness is exponentially more important while riding. People walk away from highway speed auto accidents every day, I don't believe you can say that about bikes.
