when we put a realistic battle together like caterham r500 vs ducati 2 vehicles which r 2 vehicles with not so different performane on a dry track watch the autocar video the caterham smashes it by more than 5 secs
This is my local track ,tough on a lardy arsed Speed triple with OEM tyres and pissing with rain.. My street triple runs 1:07's on a good dry day there and i can tell you for a fact the speed triple is slower.. the GT looked like wicked fun though..
ok that bikes r pretty more dangeorus than cars when is wet, but... do u go to a race track when is raining?? even in a car?? i wont have fun with a car while raining, less on a bike //// bike= less money + more fun+more speed...
@Charli65 wtf r u sayin tell me the speed of the fastest bike in the world it wudnt even get near the top speed of the fastest road car, i been on ducati wi mi dads m8 and i also have a caterham styled kit car i gotta say the kitcar is amazin fun but it has the same feelin as the bike did EXACLY THE SAME i got kit car for bout 3 grand and we raced a triumph bike round a track day and smashed it ive been watchin a load of car vs bike videos the bikes won 2 cars have won 7 so u got tht wrong m8
Riding the bike at wet at that speed... why is he leaning of the bike that much? I rode in the wet many times and didn't need to hang over the bike to do the turns that slow.
The rider is very afraid of riding in the wet, he could have pushed more for the bike.
And with proper riding gear you don't feel that cold, or get much wet!
In the end... poor bike rider. But at least he admits it in the end, and that you must give him some credit for that!
are u fucking kidding me?!! wat kind of crap is this? a track shootout in the rain... how about phillip island in the dry and a proper sportsbike like a cbr1000rr or 600rr and car would gef fucked up... everyone knows a superbike and a supercar are pretty equal on a track... it takes a 1 million dollar plus car to beat a bike worth 15k round a track and the bike will beat the car down the quarter anyhow... let alone a fucking ford falcon for fuck sakes
worst review ever, the bike rider was also crap, short shifting and everything so he didnt slip off, put them both on a dry circuit. This bike isnt even a sports bike and it would beat this, put an R1, gsxr 1000 or a busa against it and the car would not see the light of day.
Instead of getting him on the track in the dry, lets get valentino rossi and see if the MAN can beat the car even in the wet. Now that would be entertaining. When I first started watching, I thought no not another wet race. This video is the most truth i've seen yet between car vs bike. There was some true honesty.
what i can't understand is why in an independent race between a car and bike,obviously in good conditions for the bike, the bike wins. yet car shows constanly try to disprove this! yes four wheels have more grip and yes they can handly better in wet but the fact is that in the dry not even a lambo can say with a ducati 1098 and there are much faster bikes for cheaper so why do this? and wtf is with puting low powered bikes a (not even leting them change the suspension) against track cars? :-)
Thats pretty weak. he didnt look like he was pushing it atall... nervous rider imo. a dry track would be better... or even racing them side by side would be best
the track was just way way to wet for any real race to have been done. Now maybe even the bike had some race series wet tires on it deffinately woulda been better for the rider. But the track was just way to wet for a real race. The rider took it pretty easy to, coulda pushed the bike a little harder then that.
at least this is better than TOP GEAR AUSTRALIA

I know it's Australia but seriously, has that guy ever ridden in the wet before? You can get knee down angles in the wet on road tyres on most bikes.

He claims that the Speed Triple is a 'Cafe Racer' type bike - if you're going to review it, at least understand it.
charliemike007 2 years ago
He's just relating it to the general public, whats wrong w/ that?
Triumphs WERE the original cafe racers in the 50s, and this and not the cafe-racer lookalike Thruxton is the spiritual successor to that tradition.
