Rico and Nico are friends and they wanted to find out which ride is faster, a BMW S 1000 RR or a BMW M3? We gave them the chance for a little extra tuning, put them on a racetrack and filmed the race. What is your guess?
@MultiFireblade1000 i agree, the only thing i would add to your comment is that the weight of the ride makes a big difference to the bike, meaning that if a rider of 90kg on a 600cc the bike will not move as fast as it should and rider of 60kg on 1000cc wont have the weight need to "muscle the bike around" in other words pick the right bike for you! a small person on a 600 can beat someone on 1000cc!
I should point out that in this race with this kind of twisty track, it wouldn't take a 1000cc to beat the car, even any japanese 600cc sportsbike should beat this M3, but it would take a few extra laps to catch up to the car. Almost all 1000 cc sportsbikes achieve the same laptimes on the track, the BMW has a very advanced traction control that enables riders to make mistakes and gives you the consistency to win races.
In this case, the M3 didn't stand a chance! the bike must have been doing 3 to 5 seconds a lap faster than the bike. But all 1000 cc like Honda CBR fireblade - Ducati 1198, Aprillia rsv4, Yamaha R1, GSXR1000, Kawasaki ninja ZX10, achieve laptimes of less than 1000s of a second a lap time difference in a 20 lap race, depending on riders skill. check WSBK superstock racing lap times.

If a Mustang GT can spank an M3 around the track, I'm not surprised a bike can spank it also.
