Default 600RR on Top Gear

I love top gear. I don't think the race was fair though, it didn't look like the bike was getting as low as it could and ripping through turns as it should.

I like the show, but I personally can't stand Jeremy Clarkson. That a** wipe is so biased toward Americans, it makes me sick. Watch the special of him coming to America and testing american made cars vs. European models. He rigged every test to make it seem like European engineering is better than American. Like pitting a Lincoln Navigator against a Land Rover in a off-road test. Hmm I wonder whats going to win...

The Atom is an amazing car, and I agree they probably could have gotten a better time out of the bike. Although the Atom is putting more rubber down in the turns, and I don't doubt it can run with the 600RR on the track. But if you spend a couple extra grand on the 1K it's all over.

Bike all the way. The rider did not push very hard. They should have leaned like they had a flat.

Clarkson just has fun with stereotypes...if you take him seriously, you deserve to be upset.

And check lap times at Laguna Seca, open-wheel cars lap twenty seconds faster than MotoGP bikes. Other than a straight line, fast cars will always beat fast bikes.

Sorry to disappoint.
