Default Civic Hangs w/ 1000RR? WTF?

I've seen this guy before, he drove a Bugatti Veyron to 408 km/h on some private track in Germany. Its like one of two tracks in the world with a long enough straitto get a car up to that speed. Anywho, in this video, at the end, he keeps up with the 1000RRw/ professional rider? Stating the Type R can corner better?

thats a TV show in england, and a pretty dam good one.... but for one he may be a profesional rider but he almost lost it multiple times, rode wheelies that looking at the tach on the last one may have been clutched up and still won by 8 seconds. How close was it really??? but i dont doubt that the car can corner better than the bike, as it says in the video 2 wheels vs 4

Here's Top Gear's version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEERchIy3EA

While I love Top Gear, it's blatantly obvious through Jeremy Clarkson's narrative, they are completely car bias.

Baised, $12,000 bike against a $70,000+ Porsche. Most cars have a tough time going over 130 mph. They should of put up an average sport car(mustang,charger or even a vette)against the sport bike.

My link was to a 2007 Honda Civic Type-R vs. 2007 1000RR. A CIVIC!!!

I doubt the Civic ever hit 130 on that track. And he said the bike only beat the car by 8 seconds.
