Would a 600cc sports bike be that much faster? Any faster, in fact?
Never ridden a bike, but I bet the power to weight of a bike will be significantly more than the e63, plus all the wind and whatnot.

It's sold - but something like this I would think would "feel" fast at more sensible speeds:

Until you try two wheels, you won’t appreciate the acceleration and braking. Check out the numerous videos on YouTube of cars vs bikes. A road legal super bike can be beaten by an F1 car in the bends.
Edit - I worded this very badly!

To 60, yes. To 100, probably still yes.
It's also definitely not all about being mental fast. Being able to see / feel your suspension, the sound & smell of being in the open air are much more visceral additions than speed.

I get where people are coming from on the "bikes are mental fast" thing, but the E63 wasn't slow. 550bhp*/720Nm of torque meant that even as heavy as it was, it got moving pretty rapidly.

*They inevitably give more than this on a Dyno, but the 550 is the figure from Mercedes
