It does not apply at all.

But my boring old regular physics tells me that you apply the coefficient of dynamic friction instead of static friction. Assuming you have really good balance and can keep the bike upright with the front tire locked.



And the weight of the car itself doesn't exert more downward pressure on the tires to increase friction? ;)

That's the difference between a light motorcycle and a heavy car, no concern with the road surface to disipate the energy. The brakes will do the job.
 
From http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/232/6...e/2009-Suzuki-GSXR-1000-Comparison-Track.aspx

The GSX-R brakes got mixed reviews. While there’s no question the outright power and initial bite is impressive, it suffers from Suzuki’s trademark growing-lever-syndrome, making it hard to be accurate when adjusting the lever. The problem is you never know how much it will expand. This gets especially bad as the pace increases during long runs, as it extends then overheats and fades, causing the lever to come back in. This issue aside, out at El Toro the GSX-R’s braking power was respectable, finishing in fifth place in the 60-0 mph braking analysis with a best stopping distance of 127ft, tying it with the KTM.

On our slalom course, the 2009 Honda Civic Si went through the cones at 68.8 mph, which is quicker than all comers in its class except the Chevy Cobalt SS (69.2 mph). The skid pad yields the same comparative results, as the Si's 0.89g is tied for class best with the Cobalt. The Si's stopping distance of 123 feet from 60 mph is only midpack at best, but after multiple stops, the brakes remain fade-free.

So in other words a cheap econobox from Honda readily outbrakes the best of performance superbikes. Add to this the fact that a driver only has to mash the pedal down and hang onto the steering wheel, whereas a rider has to REALLY know his stuff to be able to extract every last foot from the braking distance. And now add rain or snow/ice to the mix? ROFL...

OP, you're clueless buddy.
 
And here's one more just for laughs:

There are slightly larger front brake rotors this time — 13.8 inches instead of 13 inches — and our measured stopping distance of 125 feet is 2 or 3 feet better than previous experience on the smaller brakes.

It weights 5600lbs :lol: and stops better than a GSXR1000.

4 ft is your claim to fame? Really? :lmao::lmao:When the car or bike breaks out into a slide who has less energy to disipate? In a sliding scenerio the bike will stop faster.
 
Buddy you got smacked down LOL don't rear-end an F150 this winter bro :lol:

Have fun keepin your bike upright with the front wheel sliding :rofl: :rofl: newb

How does sliding change anything?

My cbr125 is winterized and parked in the back of the garage until march. This year I am not pushng it. Last year I left the house at minus 9. If it rained or snowed the night before in minus temps I didn't ride the next day. You know black ice, snow and what not. If it didn't and the next day was going to be 3 or above I rode. 3 and above is rain, not snow. As I said my bike is not the right bike to ride in freezing rain and snowing conditions. What is the right bike?

A bike that is available is the kawasaki klx250sf. Perhaps in the future the ktm duke 125. The royal enfield bullet 500 efi could also be a choice.
 
I dont care what bike you ride, you ain't stoppin faster than a car.

Go ahead and sign off for the night now, think about what you've posted and come back tomorrow to apologize.

I stop faster than cars all the time. Perhaps you may want to consider some rider training before you post any more.
 
You're on a time-out bro, you gotta go away now and think about all the profoundly stupid stuff you've been saying (last post included).

Go on.
