S1000RR vs Bugatti vs AtomV8
First the Bugatti Veyron and now the Ariel Atom V8
Already proclaimed the fastest production motorcycle ever the BMW S1000RR places itself amongst the fastest production automobiles ever made. Just the ability of the bike's ability to keep up with the Atom V8 on the Top Gear Test Track while both piloted by professional rider/driver is astounding. I am of course in no way biased that the S1KRR is the Ultimate Riding Machine.

If it has the same HP/weight ratio as the bike, it should have creamed it after the first corner.
Nothing's going to beat that time around the test track. |

lol my friend's father apparently rides the race-spec version of the S1KRR, and he won't let his son--who's a sponsored rider mind you--get even a whiff of the exhaust fumes, because he himself thinks the car is too bloody dangerous
He was probably one of the many Stigs all along =P |

Very impressive indeed, but there is a slightly faster way around that track - and its made in my old town!!
Shame Gandi got in the way of it becoming a permanent fixture on the wall!! |

More like a gig from TG...how they used to hate Fifth Gear...then they sacked the old stig....and had to find a Temp-stig (Tiff) to teach the celebrities....well...in this case...drive for Cpt Slow...
Kinda like how the "revealed" that the Stig was Michael Schumacher.

Maybe, maybe not.
However if that was the case, it would be awesome if they renamed him "The Stiff"
