I think that was a stock sport bike.
Now if you took a turbo charged GSXR1000 with an air shifter and a good piolet, be a different story, I think.
I have an invite on the desk somewhere, to the Salt Flats 1st week of Sept. there will be several attempt runs on the MC land speed record. :cool:

of course there is a slight difference between the purchase price and availability of the two ...

OK, the scary thing is that I know the F1 driver. My boss in the UK used to wrench for a friend's go-cart team, and the friend's young son showed promise. After taking a karting championship and a Formula Ford championship and placing very well in F3 (where I got to see him race), he managed to score an F1 ride with BMW-Williams. Jensen Button is with Honda now, and still holding his own against the veterans (top 10 in all but one season since 2000).

I don't know who was on the bike, but did any of you see the boat? :)

I haven't seen any steenkeen boat! Though, yesterday this kid with vacant eyes wandered up to me and said, "I see boat people".

Nothing like a fair fight...Jeez! Yea, let's compare a track-ready F1 to an appears-to-be-STOCK sportbike. Race a $10,000,000 car against a $10,000 bike. Gimme a break! Cagers SUCK!!! I don't care how fast it goes.
