Hey man!!!! I think if I remember right it was from Mototrend. They have a test summary in the back of every issue of all the cars so far they have tested. Hope it helps. Steve

Something not pointed out here is inertia. A car is considerably heavier than the FZ6 (or most motorcycles). Trying to stop the heavier object (car) is going to take considerably more force than the lighter object (FZ6). Most newer cars have single piston disc brakes in the front and sometime's a single disc in the rear. The FZ has 8 pistons up ft, 2 in the back. The FZ or any other high performance bike is going to stop considerably...

My work truck is a 2004 Kenworth 10 yard concrete mixer truck that weighs around 15 tons empty and about 40 tons when loaded and takes about 1000 feet to stop from 60 mph! I like my bike better.
