Love at the end of the clip he states how he claims "the guys are going around the track are having fun going fast, safely." Then he jumps on the Ducati only wearing a T-shirt and rides off into the distance.  laughingdp

My thought exactly.  He calls bikes "widow-makers," and then takes off in nearly full squid gear.  Jerk.

And he refers to the braking test results as the difference between a "hit and a miss"  (I think those were his exact words; I'm not going to rewatch that twaddle to make sure).

Yet (and I speak from experience) there are times when a bike can avoid a collision without even slowing down by AVOIDING it altogether.  Whereas a car in the same situation would inevitably hit the other vehicle.

When anyone, such as this guy did, says, "But to show that I'm not prejudiced..." all you need to know is that the person is trying to overcompensate for his bigotry.

The guy is an ass.

There's a whole lotta wrong in that video. ABS vs non-ABS, the fact that it is a lot easier to go fast in a car, the fact that the Diavel is still a cruiser, etc.

That Canuck doucher is an ass. Did somebody say that already?

5 foot 6, gigantic forehead, dowdy glasses, middle-age gut. Hugo Boss t-shirt. The irony!

And he got the Hayabusa meaning all wrong! Totally pulled it out of his 200 year old wrinkled bung. Outrageous. I agree with He Man, burn him.

Well, there's also Victoria, but that's practically Vancouver.

Why why why do we always have these arguments?  If we were to pick out the fastest bike and the fastest car the car would always win.  I would like to what motorcycle can beat out an F-1 car.  The truth is more rubber will give you a faster ride always.  The difference is the best bike will always be cheaper than the car and why bike win.  You can go faster for cheaper.  Unless you can swing it to buy a race car.

If you're going to go on the monetary argument, you have to quantify it. Simply speaking, the amount of money you have to dump on a car to get motorcycle style performance is huge. Yes, the car will eventually be faster when looking at the super cars, but normal sports cars would have a hard time duplicating normal bike performance, given a driver/rider that can truly take them to the limits on the tracks that highlight each ride's better attributes.

And i agree with you, if someone wants to go around a track fast, they have to do it on a bike, becuase a stock bike is faster than a stock sports car.  You get more speed out of your dollar, or peso's (or what every money is in Chile now) on a bike than you would with a car.

The peso doesn't go very far when buying any vehicle. I'm looking at buying a used 696 for just about the same price as a new SF848. It's still cheaper than a comparably performing car.
