IMO

Being on a track doing 120MPH 5 feet away from a car may cause me to back off in the corners too. They need to do seperate timed runs to properly determine a winner.

Second that was still pretty good for a stock 911. Even though both the bike and the car can be modded, the car will win every time. It is just not possible for a bike to beat a car.

I ride a bike, and I thought the video was great! The thing was done as a fun video by the guy and that's who he rounded up, they did have qualifications. It was fair in my opinion I thought the bike should have taken him at the very end. That porsche has allwheel drive and computor assisted traction to each wheel as well as braking, it's a superb road hugger. On a straighter course tha car wouldn't have had a chance, but porsches are notorious for superb cornering especially this model!

This is more or less how I took it. It is primarily an entertainment piece and not to be taken as serious proof that a bike can be always beaten by a car. In another vid from the same show they race an Apache helicopter against car. The helicopter is airborne but must follow the track. I forget who "wins" but will post the clip if I can find it again.

Here it is:Apache vs Lotus
