So "they" say - I tend to agree.

GSF 600 Bandit = Ford Focus 1.4

Mine puts me in mind of a Focus ST because of the handling and nippyness, even though I managed to get the better of one.

I also think KTM = Audi.

BMW GS = X5, big Bavarian barge but surprisingly sprightly.

Suzuki Hayabusa = Nissan GTR

Both iconic Japanese vehicles
Both offer silly amounts of performance for their price
Both weigh about a million tons
Both will 'well do 200mph innit?'

BMW x5.. it's a genuine 4x4 because the kerb outside Waitrose is really tall.

The Hayabusa is a Bugatti Veyron for sure.

The car equivalent of the Honda C90 is probably walking.

Triumph T595 Daytona= Jaguar XKR
Triumph 955i Sprint ST = Jaguar XKR

Suzuki GS 125 = 1983 VW Polo Classic, fearlessly overtaking everything in site at a zillion rpm, never giving anyone enough time to flip the bird.

That last one may be a touch subjective...

Kwak H2R is the bike equivalent of the Veyron.

They put one round brands hatch during the final round of BSB last year.... it sounded like a tornado jet circling the track. Nearly jizzed my pants.
