I love bikes but the simple fact is that the Porsche has those huge tires to keep it on the road. People who state otherwise should do some laps round the Ring.
At 3:59 the R1 is alongside the porsche so if the bike has better power to weight ratio, ergo better acceleration how the fuck does it lose?? answer, IT WAS A FIX. FUCK YOU JEZZA you bike hating cock!!!! at least Hammond and May ride bikes.
total fix, if that was a real race and the r1 was on the limit it would be full lean and rider kneedown round the bends, not even close, the porsche would get raped thats why he had to fix it
i like how everyone tries to slam jeremy clarkson in the comments. People can't seem to accept that a car might be faster than a bike. Just look at the facts. haha
Funny how J Clarkson picked Britians most windiest course to race a car and bike on lol The bike only needed maybe 1 or 2 more straights and the Porsche wouldnt have been near the bike even on the corners. Once again Mr Clarkson your results mean sweet FA in the real world
Porsche Carrera supercup lap record is very close to BSB times at Thruxton ,if not a tad faster. Circuit suits massive grip levels of car . Bikes are a good 4 secs quicker round Snetterton tho which suits straight line speed of bike . Sorry ,bit sad i know
apparently the only reason clarkson hates bikes is because he cannot fit his huge head inside a motorcycle helmet. "some say that led zeppelin once played a gig inside it and that it has it's own gravitational pull which effects the waves".
about a month after this was released he had to apologise in the motorcycle news as yes surprisingly the film was faked to make the car win there now you can all shut up
I have to start off by saying that I love the show Top Gear. But this in my opinion was an unfair match. The R1 is a 2000-2004 model. I'm not sure what year this was filmed so at the time it may have been the up-to-date model but if they did that with a newer R1 (2005-present) no doubt it would be no contest for the bike. The newer R1's are lighter, more powerful, and more stable in the corners than the model shown. I like the Porsche but they should throw a more updated bike into the mix.
Well, the Problem here would be, The rider has Much less powerful brakes than Todays R1s. or the Race bikes of that time. The r1 of that year was much less stable on braking into the corners. and as well through the corners. He had to worry about speed wobbles due to the lack of a damper. Just alot. That porsche had much more grip to to awd. and brembo brakes also. If we threw the 6pot brakes on With the steering stabilizer of today the r1 would have taken him into the Final Chicane.
When it comes to acceleration, bikes are incredible powerful, but with only two wheels cannot take the corners as a car. However, i take the bike. Any drag race in the real world favours bikes.
wow. 4 wide tires and 4 wheel drive beat a bike by 3/4 a second. Lets see that on a track where the finish is on a straightaway. lol. Now car drivers can shut up.
The car is a heavy slow expensive ugly grip monster hence it went round thruxton well( one long corner)- That bike costs one tenth the price and has way more kilowatt power-Good track choice Clarkson- u fat dimwit! That bikes 10 years old by now by the way!
He won because as he stated at 3.20, the car has 4 big wide tyes and thruxton is really one big corner. You can't stop like a fast car and you can't go round corners like a fast car. You do have breathtaking acceleration, which only the fastest and most expensive cars can get close to. Bikes- They are fast. But they are not as fast in the cold, ice, snow, rain, or on greasy or oily roads( or a twisty racetrack). If you are carrying a pillion the effect on performance is much higher than a car
Porcshe has anti-lock brakes for additional braking. When he says that an all-wheel drive is slower in the dry is not completely true. With multiple laps it would have more tire wear because of weight and wheel spin. However, on one lap with warm tires the drive would not have to worry about using up the tires too quickly. You can see that he drifts a lot, aided by all-wheel drive. Race driver in a road car is better than on bike. Road bike IS a race bike
The bike is obviously faster if he took bike lines. Plus when he says its an average good car vs the top of the line motorbike, he fails to mention that the difference in price between the moderate to the top of the line is relatively small like 9,000 to 12,000 dollars while cars cost A LOT MORE!!!!
alright... in this vid it's obvious that the bike could kick ass... but didn't you hear the guy say that the porsche was an old model and a 4WD... put that same race with a brand new Porsche GT2 and bye bye goes the bike
i think myself that this is fixed. look at the rpm he changes gear at like 8000-9000rpm,the bike could take the corners alot better if he chose the bike lines instead of the car lines and at the end the bike was up the arse of the porche and even demostrated at the start the bike inhalated it but some how the car got away so if you want to see what would realy happen check hyabusa vs porche.

Everyone knows bikes are faster in the real world, besides clarkson fixed this like he does all his tests as he's a big loser. if you want to beat any car on the road buy a bike, even tuned ones.
U go 2 do your shoping or pick your grandmother up 4 church in a car...real men go racing on bikes!!!! A car race driver is just someone how mummy did let her little boy have a motorbike cause he might get hurt...harden up u fags
