Top Gear: V8 Atom v. S1000RR segment

For those who haven’t seen it yet. Enjoy!

Just a side note the S1000RR DID post the second fastest time ever on the TG track and only trail the fastest car by half a second.

Refuse to watch this without watching the full episode :tongue

I’ll be back to chime in after.

Just watched the episode.

The atom is out of this world fast, but the fact that a $15k bike did that good on a track that’s absolutely horrible for bikes is quite impressive, especially considering Tiff was behind the wheel, and he knows how to drive.

The rider was good too, the acceleration wheelies however may have been assisted by BMW software, although not sure if the R has a tilt sensor like some other models do.

Christ, looks like the atom needs a bit more tire LOL.

It would add too much unsprung weight :lol

On a race track, more tire doesn’t always mean more traction.

Vlad should be commended on restraining himself and the excuses. :smiley:

it runs ok

thats just an awesome vehicle

Not even sure what you’re eluding to here.
