Can £1500 Bike buy you £9000 worth of Speed?

Is everything automotive better with English accent?

The editors at MCN decided to do a Top Gear type challange.

Part1

Part2

These guys love Pirelli’s

We love what they do on MotorCycleNews.com. For their latest feature, MCN created a challenge for it’s test riders. Think of it as a “Top-Gear-type-of-challenge” only for bikers – so lot less talk and much more geeky stuff. The challenge: can 10 + years old 600cc bikes compete with modern 600cc’s? Why 10+years? Because test riders had only £1500 to purchase their bikes and test them on track against £9000 2011 Kawasaki ZX6R. Wanna know the outcome? Look at the video after the jump.
