 | Car vs. Bike Might be an old one but I thought it was quite interesting. This was a good comparo between two high performance vehicles, operated by two talented individuals respective in both genres. Representing the cars and driving the Porsche Carrera 4 is Jason Plato, outstanding driver with multiple wins in the British Touring Car Championship. And for the Bikes riding the Yamaha R1 (looks like a 1999 model) is British Superbike Champion and former Moto 500cc GP racer Niall Mackenzie. Find out which one was faster. Porsche vs. R1 PS, that limey narrator needs a good shot! lol Yeah but what cost more $$?  | |

| Re: Car vs. Bike how often do you come up against a 911 C4 in the twisties. better yet, a 911 C4 in the twisties with someone who knows how to drive? Besides, who cares, it's about having fun  there are tracks where bikes are faster than cars, and vice versa, a local bike mag ran an article with the lap times for the V8 supercars and the superbikes at various Aussie tracks. The bikes came out on top more often than you would think...Z... |

| Re: Car vs. Bike The car wins..but only because of the curves. In a straight shot the outrageously priced car will lose to the 8100 dollar R1 |
