Shouldn't that be expected? A Veyron owner should get a more capable vehicle after spending 100 times more on their car than an R1. Congratulations to them all.

of course its expected. tig is saying it doesnt look like ownage though. seems to me he is trying to keep up and he pulls away nasty , and takes turns better. that may also be a reflection of the rider's skill though.

Exactly my point. I thought that he held in there pretty well considering that he's up against a car that costs half a million dollars or more. Besides, I'd like to see that video with let's say Valentino Rossi riding his M1! With "freeway" gearing of course...

Yea, for $20,000 even I could put together a pre-2005? 'Busa that would blow them off the road. A turbo kit, some sprockets and see ya!

I fail to see the ownage also.

Cool video though.

I see exotic cars around here all the time but to get to play with a Veyron AND a Carrera GT would be crazy!
