BMW M6 races Honda and Suzuki

12 January 2006

Speedometers sometimes read a bit high when they get to the high end of the dial but this video shows a BMW M6 flat out against a Honda CBR1000RR and a Suzuki GSXR1000. The BMW indicates 330kmh (205mph) as he rolls past the bikes. OK, car wins this one. Now, where are the turbo and […]

Hayabusa video - 220mph

19 August 2005

It’s hard to know what’s real anymore but this video of a Hayabusa going 220mph looks interesting.

Pinks TV

7 July 2005
