ummm a porsche carrea 2 maybe and a yamaha i think.
i for one would be scared shitless of the jet stream that the jet would leave and if i could hold my balance if it got into it. Expected results though

hmmm... if that is a ZX-14, then bikes must not have very good top speed compared to cars since the car passed him after a while. after all, the ZX-14 is supposed to be kawasaki's busa killer.

porsches have very high top speeds. But if that is a ZX-14 it should be able to beat the porsche perhaps he was just no longer accelerating knowing that he had lost

comparing a still image to the website pic of teh ZX-9 i can see it, but i think these people would put the faster bike out there so im gonna stick with the ZX-14.

The difference between a bike and a car is the weight to power difference. Bikes as a rule have better acceleration, but because of the design a race car will always have a higher top speed. The aerodynamics of a race car will push the front and the back down into the road maintaining speed. While the bike has to fight to keep his front end down.
As far as the movie goes, it's about a year old, and the quality is inferior to the last version I saw. It looks to me like an R6, but it may be an R1. If you watch closely, you'll seem him fighting to keep the front end down during initial acceleration. Then when the jet passes him the turbulance almost dumps him. You'll see him yelling at the race boss guy at the end of the movie about it.
Car shoots past him afterwarsd. Cars have top speed due to aerodynamics and power. Bikes have better acceleration due to lighter weight for the horsepower.
