BMW M3 vs Yamaha R1

Road racing at it's finest.

Safety Nazi's save it for another thread please.

that was fucken cool. I thought at the start the guy with the camera wasn't giving it everything he could then when the other bike cruized passed that was cool. I think that proves without doubt that bikes are faster than cars BUT it all depends on the rider and driver skill level and in my opinion the bmw was doing a pretty good job although he was crossing the centre line quite a bit.

Uhmm... 4 wheels hold lap records that two wheels can't beat.

A wise poos once said: "its easier to drive a car at 80% than it is to ride a bike at 70%". He drinks Tui though...

not quite right young padwan!! almost anyone can drive a car to 80% not many people can ride their bike near 70% let alone 50%

Cool. I like how the road markings all read ~ 40km/h corner ahead and the bike is cranked over winding the clock past 100km/h!

Scary how limiting the capabilities of the average car can be! Or should that be drivers?

[Wasp]

that was cool

had something else to say but uhhh yea...

You're allowed to do that in civilised countries when you can see the way ahead is clear. Damned sight safer too.

talking about production cars on normal roads. race cars on race tracks and the bike loses its advantage (being smaller and making more use of its lane)

he had his/her wheels over the line when cars were about on him.

You're too much of a stranger to have a padawan. Hope you got your streetbike going.

F**k me did you see that Honda, That R1 and M3 were holding it up.

Cool vid, must be a popular road, were a lot of bikes on it, it really comes down to rider vs driver, because who ever was on the other bike took them both and started to gap them

And six minutes at those speeds without needing to pass anything, magic.

let alone 50%

ME! I can! (50% that is...)

Mmmm! After watching that, while I won't regret buying the Boulevard, I may regret selling the GSX....
