Ha, no... Carrera GT is 600+hp, plus has a top speed of 200+mph. R1's don't have that good of a top end pull.

Not to mention, bikes have generally terrible aerodynamics compared to true sports cars. Large frontal areas, and the rider is a big ugly bump in the wind even when tucked in tight.

Not to say a Sport Bike of 1000cc+ isn't fast, by no means are they slow. They're just not that fast in the company of those types of cars that are purpose built for all out performance and little else.
