Yeah dude. I think he used to drive for Jaguar. Maybe still does. Anyway he used to be on the BBC show Top Gear and now on 5th Gear. Which I think is mostly the same thing. Either show tho.... super roxorz.

cheers

Tiff is my hero! I wish they would import 5th/top gear here faster. Tired of watching the same episodes from 2003 or so. Better then any US car show.

When you can beat a 500 hp super car with 1000cc or less, the bike is bad ***, regardless of weight. The duc doesn't have airbags or even doors for that matter. I know that I can make it almost as fast to the lake in my almost stock suby as I could on my bike. I'm no valentino rossi or anything but I got pretty good. So it's kinda a wierd comparison anyways. The bikes have no chance against an f1 car, but anything street legal would be left in the dust by any of these bikes. If they're gonna compare the fastest (street)bike with the fastest(street) car then they failed, still a good video, I couldn't have kept that 999 down.

B.S., the guy on the bike had some sense. A stock rc51 will run low 11's. Your friend is a dumdass for trying to race a bike anyways.

From a stop a bike will own a car, but its way easier to hang with a bike from a roll.

Not true, a car only has to slip the clutch a little to not worry about spinnig the tires, while a bike has to keep the front wheel on the ground. Especially with the low end torque of a v-twin. Unless your buddy has a 10 second z-28(not likeley, and if he did he wouldn't be racing on the street anyways) I don't think he woulda hung. Does he hang out with the guy who puts the burger king trays under the back wheels of his civic?
