BMW M6 races Honda and Suzuki

By Paul Crowe

BMW at 205mphSpeedometers 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 nitrous Hayabusas when you need one?

Usual disclaimers, don’t try this, etc., etc.

    I never understood these kinds of comparisons. What are they suppose to “prove”? That cars are better than motorcycles? That if you had enough road (that’s a big if) you could go faster than a motorcycle (although not safely)?

    I would guess that it ultimately comes down to how much fun you have in your vehicle. On that note, there’s a unique feel that you get (well, me anyways) from doing things like turning that you don’t get from a car.

    Usually to make a vehicle fun at a high speed it must be -not- fun at low speed. Bikes have helped counter that problem for some time but now it is starting to show up there too. A Hyabusa may be fun at 186 mph but sucks around town, the 99% of its use. An Aprilia or Derbi 50 will be as much fun up to and at 60 as the HYA is at 186. This doesn’t seem to matter until you realize that a person spends 99% of his time in the 50cc fun zone and the bike only cost a third of the other. Go figure.

    you have to laugh, knowing that many guys with an M6 will be trawling along in the “50cc speed zone” watching this video on the in dash dvd….
