Guy Martin is the faster rider - he has the larger side burns. Debate solved. Next.

[diggerdag]

And Rossi would beat him on every permanent Race-Track.This Comparisons are utter Nonsens.

my vote is with guy martin because he is the type of bloke you could say hey mate too... and also he is a bloke who has HUGE balls... Larger balls than Rossi.

@TheARMAProductions I enjoy both, and the Cobra, after all he's a local lad! I'm too much of a pussy to ride a full blown superbike on the road anyway. Streetfighter, wheelies and low speed low sides will do me just fine. lol Lets embrace like men who are totally comfortable with their sexuality! Ha

@TheARMAProductions At the end of the day they are all talented buggers, I prefer the crazier road/rally guys though, probably like yourself.

@TheARMAProductions F1 and Rallying is a great comparison. I’d expect most of the F1 guys would be miles away from the Rally lads, but roles reversed you’d expect the rally guys to be able to get fairly close to a F1 lap time wouldn’t you? Whether or not they could be as quick is another question. I go to Wales to watch the WRC most years and I love it, but I am glued to the TV when the F1 is on.

@TheARMAProductions That I can't argue with at all!

[georgevts]

@georgevts For me road racing is almost as much bottle as ability and short circuit its ability and setup that count. I love road racers though, they are real men, and they drink real beer and shag real women. Grounded! 

@TheARMAProductions And I completely agree mate, but it’s been proven time and time again that the fast road races, as fast and as courageous as they are can’t compete at the highest level on the short circuits. McGuinness, Seeley to name a couple. Don’t get me wrong I have far more respect for the road guys, they don’t have the luxury of setting up a bike for 15 corners, nor do they have the chance to tweak the bike over 60 practice laps.

[georgevts]

@TheARMAProductions It's not that it's harder to master the TT, its harder to find the 3 or 4 tenths around a GP circuit. This case is proven with every SBK rider that enters Moto GP as a champion and promptly rides round at the back or midfield. Spies being the only exception so far..

@TheARMAProductions You put it well, GP racing and road racing are two completely different ball games.
