I was told a performance car would out race a performance bike. Looks like that little axiom is not as accurate as previously thought

I liked the narration of the guy, he was trying to be fair and unbiased - But he didn't mention that the differences in driver and rider skill would make for a different result. And also that it depends on the track layout. These are critical factors. Also, he should have mentioned more details about the price of each vehicle, and the performance you get in return.

Another nice video! He declares the bike to be the undisputed king.
But I really wish they had had dry conditions. Could the bike go faster?

Here, at least he said something like "The McLaren wasn't quick enough... not with me anyway" (at the end of the video), suggesting that someone else may drive it faster...

Great videos!
 
I'd totally expect those results when comparing a road legal car (even if it is a super car) to two racers. And lets be real, I'd say most people could take the McLaren around in similar times to theirs, however not many people could take the bike or civic around in similar times. Don't get me wrong, I love bikes and I love cars, but its like comparing apples to oranges.
 
I thought the BMW HP4 was stock
