    The bike surprised me, given its tiny contact patch.

    I need to read-up on it, apparently it’s got a factory blower?
    Crazy...

    Yep.

    ETA:

    "The track-only variant is called Ninja H2R, and it is the fastest and most powerful production motorcycle on the market; it produces a maximum of 310 horsepower (230 kW) and 326 horsepower (243 kW) with ram air.[1] The H2R has 50% more power than the fastest street-legal motorcycles, while the street-legal Ninja H2 has a lower power output of 200 hp (150 kW)[13]–210 hp (160 kW) with ram air.[1]"

    If it had gone longer the jet would have won and the F1 car second.
    If we're not going to actually specify distance, letting them all hang it out at full tilt till' out of fuel? The lineup changes completely:
    1. Executive jet
    2. Fighter jet
    3. Gas car
    4. EV car
    5. F1 car
    6. Motorcycle

    At a mile, I'm thinking it'll look like this:
    1. Fighter jet
    2. Executive jet
    3. F1 car
    4. Motorcycle
    5. Gas car
    6. EV car

    It's possible that the H2R has a higher top speed than an F1 car.
    At the very least it is really close.

    For sure.
    There are soooo many variables.

    Bike has 1/3 the power of F1, more drag but much smaller frontal area.

    There a math problem in there somewhere.
    But this Asian ain’t good at maths

    The total drag (Dt) for a bike vs a regular sports car are roughly equal, with cars being a touch better (meaning whoever has more HP ultimately wins the top speed contest). An F1 car is quite a bit better, albeit adjustable depending on the amount of downforce required. If tuned to simply keep the car from flying when going in a straight line, the F1 car can easily win that contest.
