That's awesome, I own a 2008 r6, I am a fan of the show as well. I remember that episode and was not impressed.

[jwhitt070]

me either.. i know it wasnt a 'fair' comparison clarksons is just to old to appreciate a nice motorcycle

[jeffboulard]

awesome vid.. what track is this???

[jwhitt070]

calabogie motorsports track canada, this vid was really made to contest a tv show called top gear who said cars are faster around the race track (i like the show but the vid they made was iased to the car) as this video shows that all depends on the track and the vehicles.. in other words have the right tools for the job

[manoftim]

r6 accelerates much faster than porsche gt3 that makes an huge diffrence

[MadR6]

Bit surprised, didn't think the bike would win due to its slower cornering speeds.

But still I'd pick a bike any day :)

From 2:14 to 2:24 look at the bike pull away from the Porsche. 

[jimbobbignob123]

wud b even quicker if it was a newer r6 lighter and more power r6 rules

@happyhour45 The racer is using an older R6. The R6S looks identical, but has different engine tuning; just a little slower on top end power.

depends on the track

[RaskVousSalue]

Imagine the difference if they took an S1000rr

[badboycapoeira87lp]

esto si es un video decente de comparacion coche - moto

[L4Isoside]

@0ukami well the overall corner speed only really differed by about 10kmph from what i could see, its the fact that the car could carry more speed initially and loose more speed whilst half way through the corner, where as the bike needs to loose most speed before the corner.

quite interesting though.

[0ukami]

The bike had terrible cornering speeds in comparison to the Porsche, yet it's dominance in the straight-aways won this battle.

[BIGMO8864]

the bike was about 2 1/2 seconds faster thats a lot
