    Well you can clearly hear the F1 car isn't revving all the way and short shifting, but decent vid really.

    Webber had a brick under the accelerator pedal...

    Bike and car seemed surprisingly similar, the car had it i think but the bike wasnt bad.

    A motoGP bike is 160kg and 240hp

    That roadbike will be 190kg and 190hp

    Although the acceleration of any 1 litre bike is crazy.

    Is that one of those metaphorical bricks that he used to put under there during his F1 racing as well ?

    Was he drifting that jag at Blyton park? I'm shocked! Normally a tractor with a tanker full of water comes out to spoil the fun

    Or a pissy owner

    Blyton isn't really a bike circuit, if we're honest.

    675 Triple isn't exactly a fast bike either. I don't understand the point of trying to compare them. They have nothing in common.

    Daytime TV journalism. Ftype is equivalent to a fireplace IMO I.e. not exotic, not totally Bertie not stupid expensive. I reckon the fireplace would have kicked the f types ass.

    T'was only the V6, and not the V8 supercharged.

    Maybe that's why they chose what they did. 'Mid class' sports car against middleweight bike

    V8 should go up against the fireblade sp. I was saying v6 cooking model up against a boggo fb. A 675 is equivalent to an x type or a diesel xf anyway.

    Last lap, 2nd last corner and Stoner's leg happens to come out as he backs off coming out of the corner and the commentator is astonished that the saloon car has finally got past

    I've seen more convincing wrestling matches between Mick McManus and Cat Weasel
