These guys love Pirelli’s

> We love what they do on [MotorCycleNews.com](http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/newsresults/videos/2010/December/dec0810-Video-Used-600s-challenge-part-2/). 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.
