Looks like someone ran out of gas.
Probably something to do with the stars and stripes on the helmet.

Surely there's something wrong there - is the ZX10 really that slow at higher speeds????

there was a eurofighter/F1/WSB shootout on 5th gear a little while ago. the WSB nailed everything off the line, but once the F1 got traction it was incredible to see how quickly it built speed to over 300km/h. the eurofighter only just beat the F1 at the end of the 1km drag (photo finish). the WSB was a sorry arsed last.....

Nah something went wrong I think.

Anyways that was one sided because once a a turbine spools up then it acts like a fooken huge turbo not alot can beat it.

only took about 15min to load on a 56k
Yeah......... well the biker dident look to happy about something at the end, wounder if the jet wash put him off, mind you he seemed to slow down before it cought him.

He got a bee caught in his helmet, did you see? It went strait for his eyes

Something happened to the bike thats for sure... understandable the jet passing him at that speed (their take off speed is about 200 knots or 360kmh) but for that porsche to accelerate that quickly at that high a speed something definately happened to the bike... ITS A STANDARD 996 TURBO FOR FUCKS SAKE, it aint that fast... can definately understand a F1 car wasting a WSB though...

Oh yeah a jet is a jet - no competition, and a 911T aint no slouch either --- just not that much faster than the bike -- my vote is scared of jet wash and backed off when he heard the plane near him.

Second that

Porche does have higher speed by about 20kmph, but i expected jet to get speed a bit quicker than that. The bike must have slowed down to be passed that quickly tho . Anyways nice clip to watch just the same.

can't find the link, but shumacher raced a jet in 2003 - in the wet. here's the comparison:

distance = 600m
Eurofighter Typhoon IPA2 – 9,6 s (225,00 km/h)
Ferrari F1 F2003-GA – 9,4 s (229,79 km/h)

distance = 900 m
Eurofighter Typhoon IPA2 – 13,0 s (249,23 km/h)
Ferrari F1 F2003-GA – 13,2 s (245,46 km/h)

distance = 1200 m
Eurofighter Typhoon IPA2 – 14,2 s (304,23 km/h)
Ferrari F1 F2003-GA – 16,7 s (258,68 km/h)

is THAT how a jet engine works. to think i always thought they compressed air, then burned it, expanding it rapidly and ejecting in the direction that they desired the thrust to go!

Wheels or Motor Magazine, can't remember which, had a drag between a few cars, including a Lambo Diablo and a Hayabusa. The 'Busa creamed the lot of them, hitting about 310 vs. the Lambo's 290 at the end of whatever distance it was.

Given that a 10R is about 60 or so kg lighter than the 'Busa with similar power, I'd be highly surprised if that Porsche could get close...even if it did have a few kms higher top speed, it wouldn't have even been in the Kawi's mirrors before it began to catch up...providing that it is indeed standard.

Def a vote for the bike guy backing off...pussy.

It all depends on what they want to suck through the engine that day as well as the force of the pull of gravity on that day which is directionally proportianal to the way the moon pulls itself..... I mean the tides which affect my way of thinking
