  • Fifth Gear NO BALLS

    F1 is the highest performance and so is MotoGP
    So why they challenged Tuned stockbike (superbike) instead of
    RC211V (GP bike) ? because Fifth gear is always promoting 4wheels thats why..,
    they are fanatics (lunatics?)! They know that if they challenge MotoGP bike
    the F1 car will lose (almost loses with superbike)..

    They dont have balls for real chalange!

    • what a crock of sh**

      there isnt a bike that could keep traction long enough to beat the f1. it just showed you. did you not notice the 100mph mark when jensen stuck his foot down? do you not realise that when they were even, he was only half throttle? did you not see it piss the bike at 100? why cant you biker chaps accept that bikes are not the fastest rides on the planet?
      accept it it and be cool about it, you know it makes sense.

    • you are misinformed

      common dude that is a street bike against the fastest race car on the planet and it fared pretty darn well if you ask me. The RC211v has 240hp to the rear wheel with a red line of 16000 rpm that bike in the clip was a lowly cbr1000 maybe 145 150 hp and a red line of 13,000 and also weighs a hell of a lot more also the RC211v cost ruffly 5 million bucks that bike in the clip yah about 13000 with mods. like the informed comments above its not fair to compare a street bike you and I can buy against a F1 car plug the RC211v in their and its a different story for sure. by the way the RC211v has traction control as well pulse a slipper clutch but because the bike has so much power it is only good for about 1 2 starts. also the Rc211v has a top speed of about 220 to 240 mph depending on selected gearing, bike in clip about 180 mph street trim. I agree not much of anything is as fast as a f1 around a track but a straight line the RC211v would give it a run in my opinion

    • Maybe

      this drag race seam really fair to me some of you say that the bike is not a super bike.

      ok, then take a super bike against a real drag car :)

    • What I know...

      MotoGP bikes are faster in straight line than F1

      but pretty damn close, and for 12K....Best bet for speed!

      Formula 1 are the fastest rides on the tracks (not all tracks)

      Bikes are the fastest rides on the planet (whole planet)

    • speeeeeeed

      I'm doing some digging on the web right now because i'm sure the GP out accelerates the F1 car, up to the bikes terminal speed down a straight. I was with a GP team owner one night, along with some other well informed people, who said they had speed trapped the car and the bike coming out of a third gear corner (about 120KPH) and going down the main straight, and the bike ate the car up. However, the car recorded a higher top speed at the end of the straight because the bikes have to start braking earlier

      By fly3 1148065871
    • ;)

      gp-bikes are accelerating faster in corners too but f1 cars have better turn radius and handling that can permit more speed in corners, and as you all know on tracks you have more corners than straights - thats why f1 cars have better times than motogp class

      By rallyman 1148074366
    • yeyeyeeey

      I think Bikes have better turn radius, but as You written - F1 cars have better handling that can permit more speed in corner, but requires specialized f1 track....

      sorry about my english ;p

      By flash123 1148076489
    • good race

      true, but is it any wonder WHY the f1 cars handle better? its because of the downforce, up to 5 tonnes at some circuits, plus they have twice as many wheels...

  • funny...

    ...this video is funny; in that it makes the obvious even more so obvious. i cracked it when i heard the commentator said "...epic battle...". it's anything but epic. this video is an insult on our intelligence. go away.

  • What About I.O.M

    Comparisons are useless if not done Like for Like. USE A RC211V GP Bike. P.S. What about isle of man, Compare the lap times of ANY car versus a CBR1000 and the bike Wins NO CONTEST.

    By plumberman 1220816787
  • Bang for buck

    What they didn't mention is cost. The boat would a bout US$100,000 perhaps more, the F1 car about US$2,000,000, the bike about US$12,000. Given those sort of numbers the bike beats both of them.

    By wmrbarry 1207965091
  • braking distance

    They should have demonstrated how the F1 car could come to a complete stop in 10times shorter distance than the bike and 100times shorter distance than the boat hehehe.. no vehicle can brake quicker than an F1 car.

  • Hello Rowdycat2

    Wow great video, you mind sharing that on splashvision.com. I go there a lot and I am sure the guys over there would really enjoy this one. Appreciate it and again great video!

    By samhadrios 1189162910
  • fair enough i guess

    All the bike and boat guys are complaining about the video not having the top bike or boats, which is true but.... the formula one car is probably the most amazing machine in the world also being a drag race a top fuel car would beat any other car, bike, plane, or boat.

    By mustangcarpenter 1172893595
  • unfair race

    I found a old video with a unlimited hydroplane generating 3 times the horsepower of an f1 race car and it accelerates from 0-100mph in .086 of a second of water. I think that would have been a good race if they used that and ghostriders hayabusa(499 hp) with a long swinging arm.

    By benjybobs 1171462477
  • not fair race

    they used a top car but not a top boat or bike. should have used a moto gp bike. i know the boat can hit 100mph in 3 ish seconds. I saw a race between a f1 car bsb superbike and a plane and the car and bikes acceleration was very simular

    By benjybobs 1171414367
  • ....

    they should use a F1 boat instead.

  • F1 Car vs. Superbike vs. Boat

    It would have been interesting to see how a Honda RC211V MotoGP bike would have compared to the F1 car rather than a Honda CBR 1000 RR superbike. I don't think the RC211V's lighter weight and extra power would have made up the difference at the finish line, but it would have made it more of a nail bitter. Anyhow great race and hope to see a rematch.

    By JayBird 1137220465
    • good match up

      your right the rcv211 would be more even to the f-1 car and at least that bike has traction control so he could go to full throttle,the boat is a joke

      By rifleman 68 1144292887
    • motogp vs f1

      it would be fair to compare Motogp honda and F1 car.

  • Why didnt they take a faster boat?

    They could have gotten a Nor-Tech for example. Check out this link: http://www. brandon classics.com/ result_2.asp? table=cars& category=& id=177
    (remove the spaces)
    Top Speed of 145+ MPH!! 230 km/h +!! 75 MPH is a wuss boat in this competition..

    By Desdi 1134984737
  • Thats a Superbike not a MotoGP bike

    Thats a HM Plant Honda from British Super Bikes, NOT a MotoGP bike. A Superbike is not as quick as a MotoGP so a bit of an unfair test. Also the car must have a better power to weight ratio I think and more grip. But who has the most balls, the driver or the rider ;-) Obvious answer I think.

    By FooAtari 1134903384
  • Why bother?

    Wasn't it going to obvious the Formula 1 will win the race? lol

  • SKYLINE

    Guys i seen a skline tat wud totaly smoke those in a drag race its like a veyron but take off much faster mind u the skyline has 1500 bhp so all i have to say is a tuner car will always be best dont agree i dont care but its true

    By Drifter07 1187227357
    • hmmmmm.. think your full of it..

      I never hurd of any skyline that has 1500 bhp's..
      I should of hurd of it.. I own Allcomp that means I am in the tuner scean go to more showes then you can ever dream. seen this seen that..

      besides that there are faster race cars then any tuner car.. top dragsters can reach 300 miles per hohour with there 7000 hp engine 100 miles an hour in less then 8 seconds... you do the math

  • Idiots

    I love bikes, iv watched F1 my whole life, a gp bike will NOT beat a formula 1 car. It will not happen. F1 cars have faster acceleration much better handeling, a Gp bike doesnt stand a chance in hell. I prefer moto gp but thats just the truth, 2 wheels vs 4. And to the idiot that said "thats the fastest car in the world" its not. Look at drag racing cars, that will own an F1 car if they were drag racing. Get informed before you make yourself look like an idiot

    • .......

      F1 cars have way better handling then bikes.

      By cicelc 1169428615
  • 2 all you bike lovers

    Nerds, on a track like Monza F1 cars are almost 30 seconds per lap quicker than MotoGP, and that track has long straights!! No way MotoGP loses all that time in the corners so no way that it keeps up on the straight ! The numbers speak so can it, F1 is faster period!

      By havoc_72 1163731513
  • pphhhh!!!

    9 seconds for a quarter mile??? F1 S**ks - try 4 seconds - top fuel dragster, or thats too quick? how about 5 seconds and 220mph.. for a boat! cahones boys

    By dan3000 1136105427
    • F1 is the most complete racing car

      I agree ,thats not very fast but take a curve with your top fuel dragster....
      F1 has incredible braking , good acceleration ,incredible lateral acceleration and a lot more. ... its the highest car technology on earth
      so dont boring us with your top fuel ....who needs to rebuilt all after one stretch,,,,

      By mirtan 1140937373
    • true but...

      Hehe true - but i still prefer my car. Zero to 330 in what was it...4.6 seconds? Yeah i'll take nitro dragster over F1

      By TopFuel Driver 1147304659
    • F1 faster than moto gp

      The F1 cars are much quicker than the Gp bikes

      Malaysia (Sepang)
      1:34.8 Alonso
      2:00.6 Rossi

      Spain (Catalunya)
      1:15.6 Fisichella
      1:41.8 Rossi

      No contest really also F1 cars are slugs compared to Top Fuel dragsters .
      NHRA cars run 4.4x secs at 330 mph + for the 1/4 mile.

      But you bike guys won't accept those times nor will you check them .

      PS I hate F1 .... boring as ......... Nitro is where it's at.
