    Anybody have a link to the thread (IF IT EXISTS!) where on T.G. they raced an Atom against a motorbike? (A 600 of some sort from memory)

    They also raced an Atom V8 against an S1000RR. The car still won but the BMW beat everything else on the board.

    A CBR600RR would whoop that atom if it was ridden properly. Clarkson is well known for his anti bike antics. Still, when they did the S1000RR they did admit to this episode being rather unfair. Clarkson wasn't willing to put it up on the leader board though!

    This (not top gear) vid of an M3 vs a 1000R did the rounds recently was quite good.
