Just incase no one saw this on TV, here is the video. I recorded it and hosted it on Rapidshare (I know they're not the best hosting but its free!)

I saw this about 30mins ago, the rider was really chucking that suzi around, impressive stuff Thumbs Up

I've seen a pretty much identical test before with the rizla rep 'road legal' suzuki vs that radical car thing, gutted about the cars winning!

He he, you gotta love rapidshare for forgetting to put download speed restrictors on their downloads for non-paying customers!

Cool video, goes to show what kind of car is needed to give a K5 a run for its money.

Thanks for the mirror Dom! Thumbs Up

Rapid share is crap hosting, but its the only free thing really available to me with a 50mb limit Sad

very cool vid!!! Thumbs Up

What I want to know is why the K5 wasn't quicker!!!???

I've got the vid where they race a 999 ducati agains a lambo and the bike sets a time of 49.2. In this the K5 does a 49.1!!!! .1 of a second quicker than a 999??? I think not!!! the 999 is a bog standard one too, not even an R model!!!

Typical car programme!!! Thumbs Down

Spent too much time showing off and not enough time concentrating on going fast.

It's a relatively tight twisty track isn't it? I guess it's down to not being able to use the massive power that the K5's got. Maybe a 600 would have won if been used? Just guessing mind....maybe they should test a 636 against a similar kit car?

On that sort of track a supermoto with longer gearing might have been a better bet. The car is always likely to win on tracks like that due to the ability to carry sheer corner speed compared to the tiny contact patches on the bike.

Just watched this and wow - you can really see he's utterly in tune with the bike. Control looks effortless, bar the massive power delivery Smile

One day I hope to ride like that.

cheers

waiting for it to download now.

I was really pissed off I couldn't see it when it was on, my crappy tv in my uni halls can't get channel 5. For some reason I also get the welsh regional versions of itv and bbc, pretty weird seeing as I'm in lancaster Confused
