I have run in the mid 9's with a Hayabusa and have never seen a street legal car that could touch me. Street bikes regardless of horsepower have a real hard time getting much under 9 because they can't hold the front of the bike down or the rear wheel spins out. Wheelie bars and fat slicks help, but I am talking street legal here. I have stated in other post that I have seen only a hand full of street legal cars run in the 9's. I know they are out there just not here in Phoenix at Speedworld when I am there. Yes the Nissen would need something around 800 horsepower to turn a 1/4 mile in the 9's. It would also need twin turbos or most likely a supercharger to even approach this. NOS is not allowed because you can't use it on the street. I have seen R1's that run in the 9's so my money will stay on the bike.

Oh, when is Markfiddling getting a quad?

This is just answering your question about the highest hp i have seen on a bike. I have seen some hayabusas with 500 HP. Has anybody ever heard of ghost rider I think his bike has around 500 hp and he drives it on the sreet. I think from a stop the race would be closer with the bike winning, but from something like a 60 mph roll i think the skyline would would get it's a$$ handed to it.

i disagree. On SuperStreet Magazine, a NON twin turbo Acura RSX ran 9 seconds flat. It was all engine, no nitrrous. But it had and individual throttle body. I think a skyline could do better than that, especially with 800hp, twin horsepower. But, so most of you guys think the R1 would easilt take the car?
