    hahaha very nice. Bike wins again.
    There was a similar write up in an aussie mag recently which pitted a GSXR1000 K5 ($19000) against a Porsche 911 Turbo S ($348,000) - guess who won out?
    Yup, bike home by a full second!
    Loved those power wheelies by the duc, by the way. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

    Just so you know, Tiff wasn't happy after having a bike beat the car around the Fifth Gear track... so set about finding once again a faster car; and he did. ;)

    PS. There's something intoxicating about hearing that 999R in the upper rev ranges. It's a twin! It shouldnt sound so damn sexy in a screaming way.

    That was gold. I know this is a Yamaha site but the v-twin makes me drool. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Thats what you get for 12,000 Pounds or $30000.

    that same site has a vid of a Mk1 Yammy R1 against a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and the car wins ... browse the vids section and you'll find it.

    anyone wanna see a Toyota Corolla beating a 700bhp R32 Skyline GTR in a drag race at an event in ireland earlier this year? i know its a bike site but this is a must see!! and yamaha did build a few engines for some sporty Toyota models in the 80's and 90's!!

    Really?! So that 'Atlantic' engine i always hear the Toyota old-skool fan-boi's talking about is actually a Yamaha engineered engine? (Or Yamaha built!?)

    No. It's a heavily tuned 4A-GE built under formula Atlantic rules. I believe the TRD originally built them, but some shops over in the US build them as well.

    No cars. Just bikes. If I had the money to buy the car of my choice I would buy several bikes instead. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> (I honestly don't have a preference for cars - as long as it runs reliably, and gets me where I want to go then I am fine. Except Fords. Don't like fords. Classic Mustangs are the exception to this).

    If I were..... WERE to choose a car (like if no bikes existed or became as expensive as ferrari's/porsche's/etc) I would have to go with a S15 200sx GT daaamn those are sexy *droooooooooool*

    But so far, the 2006 R1 is on the top of my list! (the black with gold <!-- s:mrgreen: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green" /><!-- s:mrgreen: -->) Or maybe even the limited/special edition 2006 R1..... somehow I don't think I can save enough money by this time next year <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->
    I'll damn well try though! <!-- s:army: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":army:" title="Army" /><!-- s:army: --> <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

    P.S. BOTH ford AND holden suck...............
