TVR's and bikes

Just like to say how much I enjoy those little races we have, from time to time. It's great to have a bit of fun in a quick roundabout - to - roundabout sprint with a decent bike. I surprised someone on Saturday on Mosborough bypass - tried to follow me up the hill but I pulled away in the Tamora. Wited at the next roundabout, expecting the usual friendly banter from the rider, and I could tell from his eyes that he was grinning as he shouted to me "****in' hell, that's fast!" I couldn't see what he was riding, and I'm no bike recognition expert - looked like a 750, but only a guess. It's so much better to keep it friendly, and I give big respect to all bikers for their always fun attitude - not like bloody hot hatch/ Vectra drivers who scowl and give you the finger when they can't catch you.

My point is, what is the common link between TVR drivers and bikers? And even, the link between TVR's and bikes. I know it's real, but what is it?

The Tamora has been variously quoted at 0-60 in 4.1, 4.4, 4.5, and 0-100 in 9 or 9.2 secs. In-gear times are phenomenal, and it's overall speed is enough to keep pace with most big bikes, except for the 0-30 mark, where bikes have an obvious advantage. Power to weight is the key, and I would guess big bikes come in at around 350-450 bhp per tonne, the Tamora is 338bhp per tonne.
