dodgy plane, car, bike video

Does this seem wrong somehow to anyone else? I know a car potentially has the ability to decrease the distance at higher speeds but the gap between the bike and the car was huge no way could that catch up so quickly:

I reckon that plane wouldn't even have caught up with the R1 up until it was off the ground or approaching lift.

Does it seem right to anyone else?

It seems very plausible to me.

The R1 probably tops out at about 160mph, the car if tuned properly maybe tops at 180-190mph and would have had a power boost due to a turbo maybe?

And the plane i think is doing something like 200mph within a few seconds in order to take off.

The thing i am concerned about is the back draft from the planes jet engines would have nocked the car and bike way off course.

The R1 obviouslly eventually broke, but as stated the R1 would have topped out at 160mph or thereabouts, whereas the car (eventually...) would have reached 190mph or so, hence why it appears to blow past the R1 eventually.

I'm sure that Jetwash can cause other jets to loose control and crash then surely a Porshe 911 and a R1 would have no hope! :S

Only directly behind the engines.

Maybe its due to the aerodynamcis. The car has lots of power and good aerodynamics, so wouldn't be too much affected by the jet blasting past.

The bike has low weight but low power, and not brilliant aerodynamics. The blast from the jet would greatly affect it.

I think the biker slowed down because he lost his nerve because of the jet.

FYI

the plane isn't a tornado and the bike isn't an R1, i think its a ZX of some description

a 1000cc sportsbike only capable of 160?!?! Confused

my gsxr 600 hits 160 no problem.

rare in that colour too, all of them that u see have the small white dash on them
ive never seen one on the road, had one for sale near here a couple of years back

There would be very little jet wash either side of the aircraft. manufacturers of jets spend a lot of R&D ensuring that as much of the thrust as possible is directly opposite the intended direction. Otherwise it's just wasted energy. Thats why the exit nozzles are the shape they are.

Aint that in Russia and so the jets Russian?! A Mig of some sort possibly.

And yes it is an R1!

At the end of the video you see the rider giving out. I guess the blast from the jet unsettled the bike (either from the engines or the wake vortices from the wing-tips).

I was talking to my Dad, he used to be in the RAF and he said that the plane has to build up it's power even from reheat. It's the same with the car the power isn't there straight away. Where with the bike it is ! Thats how the bike is faster than the others.

The bike and car wouldn't be affected by jetwash because the planes engines are alot higher then the car and bike. And the car and bike arn't directly behind the plane.
