But a motorcycle cant handle as well as some cars.  Did you read the 
comparo in R&T a while ago about the Viper and a motorcycle?  Yeah, the

Right, i never said that they werent allowed to perform.  I just said 
that if you compare only performance then why get a luxury car that wont 
perform all that well?

I personally like the A8, for my own subjective reasons...
