Can motorcycles brake?
On average, most motorcycle brake capabilities are split 70/30 between the front brake and rear brake. Motorcycling braking “structure” (how the brakes are applied) should be smooth but firm, especially with the front brake.
Can a motorcycle stop faster than a car?
There has always been conjecture about whether a motorcycle can brake in a shorter distance than a car. Many experienced riders believe they can stop faster than a car which is probably why they tailgate cars.
Which is better a motorcycle or a car?
There has always been conjecture about whether a motorcycle can brake in a shorter distance than a car. Many experienced riders believe they can stop faster than a car which is probably why they tailgate cars. Meanwhile, rider trainers warn their students to keep a safe following distance because a car can stop faster.
Is the braking force of a motorcycle the same as a car?
But that’s physics and not the real world. In the real world there are passengers, luggage loads, rider and driver skills, surface traction, panic and technology to consider. In fact, some suggest that a standard car (whatever that is) and a standard motorcycle have about the same braking force of about 1g.
Cars stop faster in the majority of cases, bikes will simply flip over if you over brake on perfect surface conditions (bar electronic aid that prevents that reducing the braking potential).

Which is the best way to ride a motorcycle?
In my opinion, being able to ride a motorcycle when you want to and not because you have to is the best way to enjoy riding, but not everybody rides specifically for enjoyment. A lot of people are realizing motorcycles make incredibly practical transportation, especially in crowded cities.
Which is the fastest motorcycle in the world?
The fastest motorcycle in the world, according to FastedMotorcycle.org, is the Dodge Tomahawk. This beauty boasts a 90 degree V-Type Engine which produces 500 horsepower at 5600 RMPs. This motorcycle uses a simple transmission type, the 2 speed manual transmission.
