The guys from Petrolheadonism invited us to one of their supercar meets, we took a BMW S 1000 RR, lots of petrol and Chris for some Drag Racing fun on a runway. They threw everything they had at us, including a couple of crazy fast Teslas. We might arrange one of these events ourselves if anyone's up for it?
#bikevscar #dragrace #supercars
finally - someone who can launch a bike.
@patrick henry yea let’s blame the drivers. Like the bike, most of those super cars has launch control. Just accept the fact that litre bikes are fast
@patrick henry how to launch car put pedal down all the way. How to launch a bike its complicated!
1000x this
Yep high 5 to the bike rider top job 👍👍
No doubt but curious how the clutch is holding up but bike and rider did phenomenal kudos
Also, you managed to launch the bike with the full beans over and over, embarrass some seriously fast cars AND not murder the clutch. You've done all bikers proud and I salute you for that.
I'm a simple man, I'll choose the bike over any of those cars. Those cars are beautiful don't get me wrong , but nothing compares to the raw feeling of going fast on a motorcycle!
Better at traffic jams too.
I ride a Ducati 999 and also have a Tesla Model 3 Performance, it is sometimes a hard choice. Note: I also have an E46 M3, but that has been growing dust since the Tesla came around.
@@wreckinball11 if it’s a difficult choice for any reason except inclement weather, then perhaps you’re more a car guy then a biker? 🤔
@@TheCaptainmojo1973 Very good assessment. I do live in Washington state and weather is hit or miss. I have seen sun, snow, and rain in the same day here. It may be a subconscious decision.
I should take the car.... And then would be able to sell it to get all the bikes I want!!!
My applause goes to that BMW S1000RR clutch 👏
I believe this latest model didn't need one unless down shifting. It's quick shifter. Throttle wide open as he kick up
@@HyusKays S1000rr has had a quick shifter up and down forever... still needs a clutch on the start line.
He's not talking about the shifting, the clutch when drop it, an engine already revving to be paired with the wheel smoothly makes clutches go boom
Yap and that license plate that acts like a parachute, imagine if he removed the license plate...
Bikes are designed to slip clutch. You can literally do it all day every day. I’ve not personally heard from anyone I know who had to replace the bikes clutch.
Made us two wheel lifers proud! 😍🥰😁🏍
I'll second that! 👍🏻
@@mrmaker9355 I’ll be third on that crazy how fast these things get even while 3 or 4 gear still wants to pull the wheel off the ground
Random dude:"Hey, i bought a really fast Ferrari for just 300000 dollars" Me: laughs in a 15 year old track bike.
Where's Broadford? Looks like a nice track!
@@gountzas North of Melbourne, Australia.
@@giodc8599 Cool ty
Laughs in safety and comfort, lookout for potholes mate they're deadly
@@saleh-dt3qj Never seen potholes on a track. In fact they are running a 1/4 mile, not having a comfort contest.
Finally one of these airstrip cars vs bike videos where the rider has more than 6 months experience.
The reliability on that bike is most impressive. Anyone can build something to be fast once or twice. But beating out challengers as long as you feel like doing it? Amazing.
I wonder how many "I've always wanted to get my bike license" was spoken that day
Or how many said fuck the license, I'm getting a bike..😉
Or “Oh I was gonna get a bike but I know I’d kill myself”
Probably not that many. The people that have those cars got them for the luxury and speed. The Bike is faster, but the luxury and comfort isn't there.
@@custommotor what luxury? All these cars ride like chariot
I used to be mad into bikes .. Had a Rgv 250,Kr1s 250 ,Rg500 Gsxr 750 then started to drift away . I'm 45 now and even though I love bikes I would prefer a powerful and lightweight car which would have to be a Caterham 620r ....looks bonkers !
The 8 dislikes are the supercar drivers in the video :D
Yeh right, how could you dislike this.
Most supercar drivers love bikes :)
Nah, commodore owners
damn !!!😂🤣
The Tesla cult. They can't take it, even from a bike.
It would be fun to take a bunch of bikes from the S1000RR right down to something like a CB650R to see the least amount of power you need to still beat each different supercar.
I had a zx6r that was pretty even 0-100 3.2 seconds with the blue Maclaren. Now I have a zx12r ninja that's 2.6 second 0-100. If I turbo the 12r they top out over 400kph
I just got a cb650r and that hurt my feelings :(
@@visco4916 Sorry! The CB650R is a great bike.. and still extremely quick. All I meant was, select bikes with a range of displacements to see how small an engine you can go to and still beat these cars. I reckon a CB650R would.
@@simonkaylor8158 Yeah Nah. Too slow. Cbr600 on the other hand different kettle of fish. What's the top speed of a cb650 in first gear. If it has to change before 100kmh, it's out of the game
Most 600s with good launch will take these cars to town.
Awesome video and also great launches! The new S1000RR is faaaast, daaamn!
Its always been fast.
kzhead.info/sun/d7aFddCChGV4nnA/bejne.html
@@colinsmith3938 what is your point? H2r is not street legal, s1000rr is. Or that a golf that has absolutely no other stock parts than the body panels is also faster? And probably cost over 100 000€ to build.
@@KorpiSoturi1 the golf is street legal in Germany and runs golf 4motion 4 wheel drive and a turbo 2.0l gti engine with stock interior and would easily beat an s1000r and all superbikes and most street-legal cars and it's just a little golf with a big turbo very funny don't you think
@@KorpiSoturi1 kzhead.info/sun/erqpmsOkpphsiKs/bejne.html
Nice to see this done by someone that can ride, unlike most of the bike vs cars on car channels where the bikes always lose.
Usually some fat guy short shifting and bogging a litre bike right down.
@@chrishart8548 so true😂
@@chrishart8548 fat short guy wtf !!😂
Ye bc there is no street legal car that can beat a bike from 100-200 or 200-300. Only from 0-100 se cars are faster
Before I am watching I am already glad Chris is riding the bike for this
The most humble person i ever saw racing bikes. Respect
Fair play to this dude he can really launch a bike, I test bikes for a living and instruct people and I'd never be able to get a bike off the line like him! Great work man
bike has launch control though!
@@larylongprong ah that makes more sense Haha I'm old school with my bikes so I forget launch control exists 😂
@@ginge5253 he doesnt use launch control he said he is slightly faster than bikes's launch control
Great fun - well done chaps....
Cheers
The Man the Myth the Legend.
This guy knows how to launch a bike!!! I've never seen him loose 🥳 great video I hope it goes viral to show the car world real acceleration 1🚀
Yes, he seems to have knack of a clean launch down pat
never seen him 'lose'. He is pretty loose all the time! ;)
@@noomade oh poo. I am a spelling nazi, so that burns me!
@@noomade Never.. not never don't forget your capital letter at the beginning of a centence 😉😉
@@youtubed9695 poor capitalization does not change the meaning of a sentence completely. using the wrong word does! I hope that you can tell the difference between grammar and vocabulary ;) and just for the record: it is "Never, not ever, forget ..." . The "not never" cancels out your first one and the "don't" is a double negative and again means something different ;) In any case it was just a joke initially. Don't take it badly.
Others have said it many times in the comments, at last a vid of someone able to launch a Superbike consistently and damn quickly! Ace to watch! 👍
I'm the proud owner of S1000RR this video makes me prouder.
Dayumm that’s my dream bike

Finally someone who can launch! People are so afraid of slipping the crap out the clutch but they’re called slipper clutches for a reason, the clutch is literally in a bath of oil
Best rider/presenter on tube. Modest and incredibly capable. I have never managed to launch bike at full tilt
Fair play to the S1000rr clutch lol that’s some serious abuse! Mega launching off the line
They take it quite well, don't they?
@Justin Schupp 🤭what's a slipper clutch got to do with launching and up shifts 😄😄
LaunchControl
What Is A Wet Clutch? "They’re referred to as wet because they’re bathed in engine oil. The oil’s primary purpose is to cool the clutch plates, and because of this cooling effect wet clutches can take a lot of abuse, like the kind you’d dish out in stop and go traffic. Wet clutches generally have a nice wide friction zone that makes them pretty easy to use. They also tend to last a long time, and they’re quieter than dry clutches. And did we mention that they can take a lot of abuse?"
@@ZeroX2001 Yeah I don't think stop and go traffic is quite as abusive as 8k+rpm launches one after another.
Knew Chris would smash everything! Well done chaps love it
Chopsy! You should bring your Ninja H2.
@lamb Chop Rides Where's the next Ducati restore videos?
Yes Chopsey - pleased he was the pilot as he can certainly launch hard and consistently
It's so nice to finally see one of these contests featuring someone who can actually ride. Well done!
Hands in the air start. Wheeling overtake, that's amazing. Even tesla's army didn't get any chance. Great editing, great content.
If any of those cars had to do so many of those launches I am pretty sure it would have ended in tears. Fast and reliable.
Surprised the tesla's didn't overheat the motors. They can't keep launching like that to many times.
@@chrishart8548 These days usually have a decent cool down time between each run. They will still get slower as their charge level drops but it won't make a massive difference once they're below 85% (the cut off for ludicrous). Of course long term those batteries will be landfill much more quickly than the ones which get pootled to the shops but I doubt these owners will keep them long enough to care.
Thanks for kicking butt, More videos like this.
Cheers, more coming!
I was literally talking to a mate about bikes vs supercars today and mentioned the bimmer and KZhead recommends this! I'm glad it did too, that bike is soooooo quick!
The absolute monstrous power kicks in when the bike goes from 2nd to 3rd gear. This 2 wheeler beast is one of the best creation of BMW.
What happens when a good rider is on the bike, great job Chris.
Well done ! Finally a proper rider who can launch a bike 👍👍
I’ve watched this video half a dozen times and just love it. Bike rider is funny and a great pilot. Most entertaining one on the Tube
Top rider knows how to ride. We new this all the time. Brilliant hats off to him. 🎩👍.
What a champion rider you are, Chris, and lovely to see the respect you have for the 4-wheeled brethren too! :-)
That's why I love motorbikes, so much more acceleration for the ££
And by virtue of being more dangerous they’re always cooler
And a bmw s1000rr is within reach of most working class people
@@chrishart8548 it's a brilliant thing finance..
@@k1ortia probably few 100 quid a month would do it. Less than my council tax. And at 41 in a safe area I can insure an R for £150 a year.
@@chrishart8548 sounds about right
It’s always fun watching cars vs bikes :) The cars (well some of them) are cool... but man the bike is where my passion lies!
I shake my head about 10 times each way to and from work each day... Regular cars trying it on against my 2021 S1000RR... It's pretty funny.
Finally great to see someone who can ride properly down a straight line
Imma show car guys this video everytime they talk about how a heavily modded car beat a stock motorcycle.
A heavily modded car can. There’s not a stock motorcycle on earth that can do an 8-second quarter mile, and there aren’t many that can beat most good track cars around a track that doesn’t have long straights. Plenty of street legal cars can do one or the other, and some can do both.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney awww Jim’s getting all defensive. Having run many car and bike track days, I’ll take the bike every time, it’s just more fun.
@@jamsxr I’m not defensive at all. I’d rather ride my old TW200 than drive a Ferrari (let alone a really fun bike), they totally ARE more fun. I just understand what bikes and cars alike are and are not capable of. Virtually no factory car can outrun any supersport bike in a straight line, virtually no factory bike can outrun any decent track car on a racetrack, any good drag car can outrun most factory bikes on a dragstrip. It’s not my opinion, it’s fact. I love bikes, I love cars, bikes are generally more fun, cars are generally easier to go fast in.
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney fair enough, I interpreted your initial comment in the wrong way. You’re spot on with what you just said 👍
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney the thing is you gotta compare stock to stock. Comparing a stock bike to a stock car is apples to apples but when you compare a stock bike to a overmodded drag car it isn't apples to apples anymore. In this sense you have to compare drag bikes to drag cars and track bikes to track cars. It isn't all black and white
Well done, Chris. You did motorbikes proud! 😄👍👍
Lol front wheel was basically up half of the time and STILL won... love it
Should have had the bike's retail price on the back of your leathers Chris...only just to let the supercar owners know like, lol ...
Less than the exhausts on some of those cars and still makes them look slow.
Great entertainment! And Chris's smile always makes me smile. Even on a Monday morning!
All good fun and would be a pleasure to own any of them. It’s easier and safer for average folks to drive a car fast compared to a bike, but the beauty of a bike is 1. The cost (anyone can afford a fast bike) and 2. A bike feels fast at relatively low speeds. You don’t have to ride like a maniac to enjoy a bike.
I'm absolutely amazed at how the bike pulled away from the teslas. They are the 1/4 mile kings it would seem, but when the bike hit warp speed, it was all over.
Someone will say, there is no point in this. I say if it makes me grin..it has a point.
i was going to click like but you have 69! So i shall like it in a comment.😁👍
Hats off to S1000RR it's fast we kind of knew that already, but in fairness, any sportbike would do that and not necessarily a brand new one. All it takes is someone who knows how to use it😊 Great video as always Chris PS. Team R1 here 😎
Yeah those cars are pretty much what you need to beat a 600, and I'm not actually sure if all of them would beat a 600. The 1000s can only be beaten by hypercar class 1m$+ cars
We_R1
@@gregmccauley1687 even then lol those £1million+ hyper cars, still have trouble beating a modern superbike with over 200bhp which is all useable thanks to electronics, they struggle to beat an old superbike over the last 20 years to be fair with the right rider who knows how to launch one without anti-wheelie
@@gregmccauley1687 Those hypercars would need a 'hyperbike' like the H2R, and I think they'd be absolutely destroyed on the dragstrip
@@kalyanpm6803 on track a bike does not stand a chance against a fast car. The grip is just not there.
That BM is absolutely sensational! What an amazing way to start the week. You’ve cheered me up here in lockdown Lyon!!
Glad you enjoyed it Simon.
Most of those guys in their supercars wouldn’t have the balls to ride a Superbike. We’re a little crazy and I love it. Proud superbike rider since 1990 here!
....and the average bike rider wouldn’t have beaten the average driver with the same equipment.
@@richarddutchholland4780 i think its easy to drive a car at 8 or 9 10ths !!
Just awesome, I always love to see bikes are beating cars, And Chris Northover is one hell of a rider, love him and this video is just Superb, Some more videos like this please
It was a great day! Good to see something a little different to just cars drag racing 👌
Hands down for that biker!!! Epic launches. I can keep my hands up all day too in awe :D
Talk about a great experience! Great Video cant wait for the next up from here
You got the bike off the line so well every time, great riding.
I know everyone has said it but dam he can launch a bike!!! ✊😎 Really enjoyed that. Chris is still one of the best riders/journos to watch on KZhead these days. Mega talented and so watchable and engaging. Top work!
Your killed it dude, great job... nice to know bikes are still supreme, even with the crazy advancements of cars
Now this guy knows how to ride and launch a bike, big props to you 💪👍
As someone said, nothing can beat a fully set supersport race bike on a straight line, atleast in a quarter mile drag. long live the love for bikes, its just second to flying
Ever saw a funnycar or topfuel dragster on the 1/4 mile?
@@dirkhuisman7747 lmfaoooooo how are you comparing a top fuel dragster to something that costs about the same as one of its rear wheels, AFTER it’s been modified 🤣🤣, just goes to show how ur brain works
@@dirkhuisman7747 I am talking about the road legal ones, if you r talking about the dragsters then u need to be comparing it with similar ones..
thanks...has been following this channel sine the epic showdown between original Superleggera,918 Weissach,P1...you are the boss of launches
Man, your litterally living my dream job, great content as usual, and an even better rider 👍
Fantastic video, great riding sir. Thank you for sharing
This made my Wednesday, stop actually whole week. Some Super Spanking goodness. Thank you from Perth AU :)
Holy damm, I’m genuinely shocked, that bike is quick !!! Even the Tesla’s, they lost hard !
That's without the launch control as well, all by hand.
@@BikeWorldTVshow really? Damm ... I’m speechless, awesome rider! Give us more !
Superbikes for the last 20 years are no joke. Especially when properly tuned.
Ppl have no idea how fast a 1000 is. Nothing will touch them 50-150 until you get into 1500bhp+. Most vids on net ppl can't ride for shit hence why they look slower than they are
@@BikeWorldTVshow Be honest though - Chris is probably better than LC. Its great to finally see a bike get used by someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Oh damn I am drooling after this bike! Quietly impressed that so many cars could stay anywhere near it. Humbling to think the Kawasaki 750 turbo I had in 1985 would have come last, and probably by a long way. Mind blowing stuff!
that evil laugh at the end just nailed that...aamazing...everyone knows bikes were, are and always will be JUST BETTER. amen
Thanks for coming guys! Amazing video 💪💪
Cheers, good to meet you
Proud beiing a motorrider on the ZX10R. Thanks for the video, thumps up for the rider, nice done.
Cheers!
So cool to see that front wheel coming up in slow motion mo! That Tesla S seemed to dominate the first 75 mph, but nothing looked like it could beat the bike from 75 to 150!
Man, you just put a really big smile on my face. Was talking to a Ferrari owner here in California Yesterday when I was out on my Bike and we were talking 0-60's. He was shocked how fast bikes go. I was happy with the conversation. You just proved it again!!
They never get it until they see it.
This really gave me such a massive grin, brilliant fun thanks for this.
No worries Derek, glad you enjoyed it.
This is the best video I've procrastinated to so far today! The S1000RR is a beast. I agree, witnessing a Tesla launch is a surreal experience, no noise at all and pretty much pulls a wheelie!!
Cheers!
This is called a proper drag test.... I love it man......
Bikes rule, that’s why I love them. I’ve never been beaten by a car on any commute in 25 years!
On my way to work this morning I had a guy pushing 😂 my NC750 commuter cleaned him 🤣
If you biker guys want some real 4 wheel competition check out the cars at UGR (Underground Racing) 2000HP street legal R8s, GTRs, Huracans, And my personal fav and arguably the coolest... Gallardos with up to 3500 hp that accelerate like crazy
Wow! You never been beaten by a car. Well bully for you. Does anyone else care or is it just you?
@@asensibleyoungman2978 Well your tag name def describes you
Man.. BMW S1000RR is awesome 🔥🔥.. Just beat all of those Hypercars and supercars. Great ride.. Great video. 👌🏼. ❤️
Although a pointless race, as we all knew the outcome anyway, it's always nice to see someone launch a bike so impressively. Well done, liked it :)
Hahaha! What an awesome video! You sir, can straight up launch a Super Bike. I have learned the hard way though, that if you tried roll-ons like this at 80mph+ it gets tragic very quickly. Effing awesome job mate!
Insane fun, thanks for sharing!
Wasn't sure if I was gonna ride tomorrow... This helped me make up my mind 🏍️💨
Glad we could help!
Brilliant..s1000rr nothing can come close. Amazing bike
Jonathan Rea and his ZX10R beg to differ.
The proper place to do this sort of stuff, bravo. Great drag racing, and it's legal to boot.
That bike is insane! Dude riding it is a BAMF too. Wow!
LOL at giving the M5 the hit *with* your hands on your helmet!
Have to admit..Tesla has some crazy fast acceleration.....smashed BMW in initial launch....!!!
LMAO at the Teslas. Very quick. Up to about 30 km/h!!!
My 15 years old sv650 commuter with just 75hp is capable of a 0-60mph under 4sec. You need a very powerfull engine, good clutch and gearbox to do that in a car costing 100 times more than my bike. That's 1 thing I love about bikes but not the only one, acceleration is only a small part of bikes fun!
Watched an upload from one of the car ‘tubers’ sites the other day. No mention of there being a bike smashing the cars to bits. 🤣 To be fair though if the strip was 1/2 mile a couple of those cars would be chomping the bikes back wheel at the top end! So pleased that petrol heads (2 or 4 wheels) can still get together and have fun and show what modern machines are capable of. Keep up the good work.👍🏼😁
Cheers, that might of been an earlier vid. It's a regular event for them...
i think half mile is not enough maybe more than half mile,
LOL? 😂 S1000RR dropped 1200 HP Bugatti Veyron Vitsesse to 1/2 mile that was longer than that Funny thing is s1000rr will smoke these all on 1 mile runway including 720s 💀 you have no idea how fast a litre bike is
6:23 McLaren something 🤣 Rider life🔥😎
Man you were just walking away on all of them. Had to have been a blast!
THAT was a pure pleasure to watch! This bow s1000 rr is my dream bike.
Finally a rider who can launch a bike properly
makes me proud to be a motorcyclist.. Not that I was any less proud before seeing this video
Strange man.
@@asensibleyoungman2978 shut up
Nice bike, nice cars, nice video!! Thanks for this, puts a lot of things into comparison!!!!
One of the most fun bikes of all time imho. Took one out for a test ride while having the GSA serviced and pulled a power wheelie downshifting from 3rd into 2nd on the highway at about 65mph. Kinda mind blowing how high and effortlessly she revs too.
Love it absolutely mint.
Nice one. Gives us bikers something to refer to when people are bragging about super car X being fast than Y. Love the plain white Shoei.
Nothing but a thing of beauty watching that front wheel come up off the ground...
That is amazing!! I can't believe you made it to the end of the drag track without the BMW breaking down 🤣
