The reality is probably even quicker than that, street motorbikes leave from standing pretty good as just don't weigh as much, but the roll on speed in 2nd from 30-50mph up to whatever is insane on a powerful bike. The big litre bikes now don't allow /cannot allow full power to wheel until at least 3rd gear (110-130 mph sort of range) as there isn't the traction.
A sorted 600 will keep anyone firmly in trouble, a litre bike with 200+ in it just doesn't make sense on UK roads, even on the tracks you barely get to wind them out. If I ever put a track bike together will likely be a 10-15 year old 600 Yam/Kawasaki/Suzuki

An F1 car can pull 6G in a bend, no motorbike can do that. I think there's a degree of mythology at play here.
E63 0-60 is 4.2 seconds, a GSX-R from 2006 is 2.35 seconds, so there's a clear advantage for the bike there, absolutely no doubt.
