No, the R500 isn't ... ( 3 weeks ago by MachinePilot)
No, the R500 isn't faster than a superbike, but it's faster than the Ducati Hypermotard! Why ask the question "Is the new R500 faster than a superbike?" and then use a sports moto bike??? Like anyone could go touring in an R500! If you want to know if the R500 is faster than a superbike, then surely you would use a superbike, seems obvious enough to me. If the R500 is "about as quick as it gets on four wheels" to quote Mr Sutcliffe, you should use a Ducati 1098R as a fair comparison.

Well I know it's not a superbike but still a big thumbs up to the guy riding it... He has more balls then me. Getting it to the max of it's lean angle on such a high bike takes a bit of guts.

Well that's a fair bit of effort from the bike rider! :)
Still, I think V even a proper 600 our man in the catterham would be left for dead.. the Hypermoto is an urban destruction vehicle as opposed to a proper superbike. good tires/great bike/great rider (such as the one pictured :) ) = no contest.
i believe the ... ( 1 week ago by caratzillion)
i believe the hypermotard totaly kills any superbike on that kind of road =) loved the airtime of the car though! balls of steel where shown by both rider/driver

I do not beleive at all about this video, but in any case I thing it is not possible compare emotions, and is this that the cars and motorbike give to riders.

lol. yes. lets race a single cylinder bike that's geared for supermoto against what's basicly a bike with 4wheels..
stupid test. would like to see him try take on Rossi @ Laguna Seca with that little dweeb car.
First, what you ... ( 4 days ago by andamooka2)
First, what you don't get is that it's not a test - it's just a bit of fun. Ever heard about that? Secondly, what you call a "dweeb" car (whatever that means) is easily capable of beating a corvette ZR1 at laguna seca.
Besides, if you want to compare a MotoGP to a car, pick a Formula1 car.

This is a SuperMoto..
Do this test again with a Ducati's 160 bhp SuperBike 1098 S.
and we will see who is faster ;]
long life on 2 wheels !!
how can some homo ... ( 3 days ago by leruez123)
how can some homo on two wheel be quicker than a strait guy with 4, do the math you douche bags.
even if the bike was faster the driver got in and drove the car, but the bike rider had to spend 20 mins gaying up in rubber before he could ride, and he's still gonna die
omg, typical bias ... ( 3 days ago by kittyluv4eva)
omg, typical bias tests agen. if dat caterham can jus abou beat a supermoto bike (not a superbike!), bring on an R1, den we'l c whod win
I'd like to say ... ( 8 hours ago by jackhannaford)
I'd like to say thats the most grossl yunfair test ever. Theyve pitted a car meant for super high speeds against that bike? If they want a real challenge, put it against a honda CBR Fireblade, even a 600 could cream that peice of crap on 4 wheels, or if they want to stick with the ducati, the new 1198(S). Then we'l see, the car wouldnt touch it for bullshit.
