you are comparing two completely different engines. bike engines have crazy short rods and relatively large pistons in order to rev sky high (vs long stroke/small bore) . they run super high cr's compared to the average toyota/honda/nissan 4cyl and have MUCH lighter flywheels, about the ONLY similarities would be the DOHC 16V I4 configuration.
also cars are designed to be driven 2-300'000+ K, how long will your 1L gixxer motor last?
seriously dude, either check out bcsportbikes.com or leave the bike preaching out of all your future posts, it is getting a touch old. cars and bikes are two very different machines, to compare them is pointless.
