Haven't seen a bike yet that can keep up with a fast car. I can really, really tight roads I can give the fastest cars a run for their money on the SMR but that's about it. I gave a Z06 a bit of a scare on the snake once, but anything wider than that and he'd have me for breakfast.

Yea depends on the roads.... I was keeping pretty good pace with Gsxr 750 up through Mulholland from LV to Kanan, and I was driving the Cts-V.

But that guy on the Motard is pretty damn good.... That car is just too amazing. Ugly as hell, but I want one!!!

Mmmh, maybe it's the looks of the bike, but the rider didn't seem to be pushing it much.

Thought the Caterham would smoke him though ...

Well he was grinding out pegs and was hanging off...can't ride much harder than that.

Not really a fan of the Notamotard, but I doubt it handles quite as well as either a real sportbike or a sumo.

I scrape the pegs too without pushing it too much ... dunno, especially in the transitions he just looks to be putting around.
Myabe it's just the bike, and the standing up position.

I was just expecting some riding like this ...

The best with Eurosport is the comment guys. You can picture them standing on the chair screaming and raving as much as you ...

Now compare that to the valium induced commentators on most US channels ... pffft
