This shows the F1 car thumping the super bike. I'm not certain that
4 wheels will always beat out 2. Bikes with huge horsepower and not
a lot of weight are pretty tough to contend with. With a motorcycle,
you get a ton of performance and it takes a bunch of car to compete
with it. I never want to own a motorcycle, but I can appreciate what
they do.

The motorcycle needs downforce... some big spoilers on it and the rider.

Guy Martin is certainly an accomplished rider, but I would've like to see someone like Valentino Rossi and a true MotoGP bike -- that would've been a more fair comparison. Probably would've ended up with the same result, but smaller margin.
