BMW 1000RR vs 1000hp Supra 7175

[jakesford]

Such a kickass bike!

[ThreeFingerPete]

If it was a video of someone stunting though there would be death threats.

I've never seen a street race in rush hour traffic with a 400 car traffic jam behind it that lasted 30 minutes.

I would like to run him on my RC51.

Watched the video again, and it sounds like he has an air shifter on the BMW? Bad ass!!!

If you look real close you can watch his left foot move every shift. It sounds like it though...

They probably got close to 190mph both runs, and only passed one car.

[Skidmark]

What if that one car had an emergency and needed to get to the exit. They should have just pulled out a gun and shot them for speeding.

BTW: the BMW S1000rr have an option for a quick shifter. You still have to engage with your foot, but you do not need to let off any throttle.. the system will process everything.

Bike owner posted that he's -1/+2 gear limited to 170

[BttleFedC10]

Seems they were going alot faster. lol.

A better comparison would be a few bikes riding wheelies as this is only a couple vehicles going deep triple digits.

If you want to compare a big annual street ride to a street race a better comparison would be the TX2KXX street races where dozens of cars run all weekend at deep triple digit speeds some exceeding 200mph.

I would love to have a vehicle that could run with the big dogs down the freeway in Houston at TX2k and I would love to go to St. Louis for the ROC ride. Both things are dangerous, both selfish, maybe it makes me an asshole, but at least I see the danger in them both while making a more apples-to-apples comparison.

You're really full of it if you think blasting deep triple digit speeds down the freeway is any less dangerous for the public at large than riding wheelies at 60mph. LOL

Hope that RC51 is making over 200rw?

factory option quick shift

Less dangerous isn't the point.

I've been riding street bikes in DFW for almost 10 years. I very seldom see a group of stunters that don't take up the entire highway and cause huge traffic issues. Thats how its always been.

I don't see anybody in this video doing anything to hinder anyone else's day

There isn't an apples-to-apples comparison...

- The TX2K guys do it once a year.
- They organize quietly.
- The dollars invested in those fast cars eliminates a lot of the social idiots.
- They aren't going 20-40 cars deep @ 1pm on a busy freeway slowing everyone down and acting like assholes.
-The TX2K guys go out way, way, way later and will produce gaps in traffic (if there is any) and marginalize risks.

I rarely see any cars getting passed in their videos, and they have prolonged runs that, being 60-200mph sometimes, cover a decent amount of distance.

Word.

[DON SVO]

Word.

give me video of the guys stunting @70mph and at 1 in the morning not impeding traffic. I'll say "cool". Until then, stunting @ 40mph at 1 in the afternoon still makes the stunting dullards a danger and a HUGE irritant to the average motorist.

[JasonRR]

There is clearly, without argument, more potential for these two people traveling at 150mph+ to harm others than stunters slowing down the highway to 50mph to ride wheelies. Anyone who disagrees is simply fucking retarded.
