    R1 vs Porsche

    Mr. Jeremy "I'm too much of a giant pussy to ride a bike" Clarkson sets up a head-to-head Yamaha R1 vs Porsche Carrera 4 race at the Thruxton race track.

    What they *failed* to mention is that for the price of the Carrera, you could have 10 R1s...

    I'll stick with two wheels, methinks.

    And perhaps Mr Jeremy 'I Beat Off With Swarfega' Clarkson should have timed how long it took the respective vehicles to get home from the track via the gridlocked M25, too.

    When the car is showing off, you can see the tracks from previous takes when the car didn't actually look better than the bike, stupid Clarky boy

    Neil McKenzie who's ambition is to grow an Avacardo tree from a stone vs Jason Plato who's been racing in the britisn touring car championship for the last three years and his ambition is to win it.

    If I was on the bike I'd be giving the car right of way too. The car held the R1 up as you can see from the video.

    it downloaded half of it, then it must have given up.. stupid dialup. Might as well watch it at work.
    Aren't they playing that series on TV at the weekend? I've seen those running for the past few weeks, but can't remember when

    The Gallardo?

    I've been in one (didn't get to drive it, but).

    Sure, it's horn, but I still couldn't help thinking 'or I could have 10 MV Agusta F4-1000s'.

    Or a GSXR1000 and a bloody nice house, come to think of it.
