BMW S1000rr for DINNER!

I think they faked it but it was real. Let me explain. 1) they got the flattest table they could find, with a nice slick smooth new polyurethane finish 2) they waxed that sucka with carnauba and orbital buffer 3) they either starched the shit out of the very high threadcount sheet(for a flat smooth texture and stiffness) or they used a lot of softener on it or both. I slip n slide all over the place & bust my ass sometimes walking on a bare hardwood floor in socks that had been Downied.
4)then they tied all the dishes and vases and all that crap together with fishing line and secured it somewhere out of the shot. It's always fishing line! Doh can't fool me
If you look again you'll see some wheelspin on takeoff. At least I think I'm seeing some.

why couldnt it be done if you get a little slack in the line i believe it is possible, still cool either way

Time for a little imagination.
Let's say a human pull is as fast as a punch. Quick search says 80mph for the fastest human punch. My guess is you'd be ok pulling at 60mph.
So, the bike would have to reach that speed before it begins pulling at the table cloth.
Even then, I suspect the table cloth to be all over the place - not sliding flat under all that kitchenware.

A challenge for TopGear? "How hard can it be?"

Oooh...

good idea.

Fake? Really?  I don't care. It made me laugh out loud. 

And I grew up on Beemers - cars and bikes. Like em!

Exactly, who really gives a rat's ass if it's fake or not. It's a commercial, an entertaining commercial.

I'm bored, so I care/give a rat's ass

I also found it funny.

[Kopfjäger]

I heard they only made one attempt at this, so as not to make the non believers think otherwise.  I'll jump out on the limb, and say if it was a dookatti, everyone would be cheering.

That's the colour scheme I like best on that bike. Very cool.

Most are saying it's a cool advertisement.

It's still fake though.

i dont think so, i call out fake stuff like that all the time. It can be fake and entertainment.

[Triple J]

Why?

Why is it a fake? Have you watched it? There is no way in hell all of that stuff would stay on the table like that. It's a fake of some sort, whether by computer or by somehow securing the glasses and such so they won't fall over.

I found it creative and entertaining.

Fake?  No way!

What's next?  You going to try to tell me that WWF and reality tv are fake, too?!!!
