+Goondindon all you have to do is look up the liter bike shootout videos and comparisons the motorcycle media preforms every so often. The past several years Honda has been at the bottom because they don't offer electronic aids like most of the market. Look at the WSBK championship where they have to use bikes that are offered to the public for sale, Its rare to see a Honda on the podium. Honda's are great bikes and are rock solid reliable but they are a little slow to adapt to a changing market.
Yes, top of its class. But it's just a civic... More like the lowest of its class for performance cars, the starters. Oh I think GT86 and a few more cars are under this car but that's it
It would have been very interesting if they swapped over and Dan Linfoot drove the car and Matt Neal rode the bike. I suspect Dan's combined time would be over a minute faster.
I have both a EK type R and a 08 CBR1000rr and I'm team 2wheels. And I can say I have one of the most modded daily driver civics in the world. But nothing beats the feel of two wheels
+NicoTrico a realistic race will be both starting at the same time and the bike would lead more then 10 seconds that wouldn't be a very exciting video would unless you get the p1 918 or the la ferrari not much car in the world will touch a liter class super bike
Actully its not so bad cmon man you really want to see a bike lwading a car by 10 second a lap that just boring as hell its much more seeing the reel in the car
NicoTrico well its about hondas fater all its like finding the fastest car and bike honda makes and unfortunetly that type r is the fastest honda and this point of time
"fist car designed by engineers not salesmen".... uhhh what about every other type r? Not exactly known for being boring cars are they, never mind the fact they they made power without the help of a turbo. Some of them even had blueprinted engines from factory (DC2 etc)...
+chipchip Wouldn't every engine be blueprinted from the factory? Generally, blueprinting an engine is to build it to the exact OEM specs and tolerances - something you would hope the OEM was doing to begin with.
Well... it isn't the fastest Honda bike they got. They just released the RC213V-S with 213hp and all the trinkets you can get on a bike. That's an additional 33hp.
I like cars and bikes, I have just bought an Abarth 500 which is quite fast (180HP), but it's not in the same league as my VFR400 was let alone my FZS1000. Nothing better than a motorcycle.
Right, because we all know you can drive an F1 car on public roads! Lets throw in MotoGP Bike in then....better yet, H2R...oh wait, they already did one race and it smoke it!
Enjoyed that, thank you. I don't know that's entirely fair. A ZX10R, FireBlade, GSXR thou, or R1 really should be compared to something like a Lambo Hurricane or a 458 Italia, perhaps a Caterham 600 or a X-Bow. A tuned version of a cooking model hot hatch... even a 600 sportsbike is far more track oriented than that.
northern marine Well ... it is a funny one. Bikes & cars are different. (Huge surprise there, right?) They have different strengths & weaknesses. You can't really do a valid bike v car thing. You're comparing cows to cucumbers - they're just different.
458 italia would still get rape by a modern liter bike on a proper track a ducati 1199s tri beat a maclaren mp12c which faster then the ferrari by a significant margin on a tight track that favors the car on a long track like silverstone that favors bikes no question.
Tons of bull thrown at this video,don't even know where to begin. How about Matt standing at the start with a 10 sec head start at his disposal and wondering if he can make car drivers proud. Errr, no, sorry. Still, give it a thumbs up cause it was good fun to watch and all these guys seem to be good blokes.
Next we race the bike against a ride on lawn mower with 15 minute head start! ....so exciting who will win! Then against an 80 year old woman in wheel chair with 3 hour head start! SO exciting!
re: the ring time is not official as there are many parameters from speed restrictions to factory setups and tyres also they are not sold on the showroom floor ring spec.
For me bikes are better in a straight line, high speed corners and jumps. For cars I prefer tight corners. I don't really like going slow with a bike unless necessary.
I prefer cars but sometimes in races, the bike wins depending on how fast the car and bike can go. Also in terms of speeding and starting off straight away, sometimes bikes are faster.
+xorbe On the straights, yea. In the corners, no. Straights favor power to weight, Corners favor contact patch. It is hard to compare bikes to cars though, you can buy some of the fastest bikes in the world for normal family car prices because cars have to be swiss army knifes, doing everything. Most bikes are more focused on a single task.
vidurc True, but this channel focus on road vehicles more than race vehicles. To make a street bike compare to a street car around a road course the car needs to be about 4 times the price of the bike, comparing a 30 grand car vs a 7-8 grand bike is about appropriate or comparing a 15 grand bike to a 60 grand car is appropriate, because the car has to do everything in life vs the bike that does one thing.
+xorbe Always? How about a CBR 125 against this Type R? Or a this CBR against a Veyron on an empty autobahn? Or just a very wet, greasy, muddy, twisty road? Etc.
never expected that, oh wait yes I did. Bike vs car (with a ten second head start lol) yeah thats not a race or comparison. On the street, this would probably be a much more meaningful comparison.
I knew the Bike would win. Wow, the Type R was beat by seconds at the start and seconds at the end! This is the advantage Honda Civic has over Muscle cars, power to weight ratio! Give me the bike any day!
The most wooden commentating ever, haha. Love the Type-R even though it lost, which wasnt exactly surprising against a bike....even with the headstart.
Poor car could not even catch the blade with a 10 second advantage... the Honda CBR1000RR (Fireblade) is just so amazing! But one has got to admit, the whole drifting thing with both front and rears spinning is cool as hell!!
The nsx gets a 4 second head start this time 😂, I think the old motorcycle will still win. Nows fireblade is a top tier superbike, only outclassed by the much more expensive ducati and kawasaki.
we all know when it finally comes down to it a car wins in every aspect 0-60, drag ,top speed, corners and brakes , bikes are amazing stock but once the modify starts that when the cars start to pull it back and then win ( before that hate comes check out who's at the top of each game )
Too much Top Gear influence. This isn't even a remotely interesting "match". Any litrebike is more than a match for anything less than a hypercar. But this is just how ignorant non-bikers are.
There was a video a few years back in which an F1 car murdered a GP bike around a race track,I can never find that video again maybe they took it down.The performance of bikes need race cars to really make a sensible video.
on real uk road in real life condition superbike wont be able to touch a toyota yaris with an automactic tranny its mostly wet all the time and bike likes this comes with tire like supercorsa slicks with abit of slit on them
+firefighter5278 Hahha, wiry funny, especially since Honda got the world record in fuel efficiency (Civic tourer diesel) and are known for best true mpg: hondanews.eu/gb/en/cars/media/pressreleases/3775/honest-john-crowns-honda-civic-16-i-dtec-best-real-mpg-winner-and-rates-engine-as-best-small-diesel

***** I wouldn't c say the scirocco is lame, it's a very nice car and quite fast, it's a nice place to be either crusing up the motorway or having a little fun on the twisties. It did come out better than the older Focus RS, but that's all subjective and depends what you want from a car. It's not as focused as the Honda and Ford and after having an ep3, not sure that's what I want. Test drive it is then!
So let me get this...the Honda Fireblade, known to be one of the most hardcore superbikes money can buy, is faster than a hatchback. And on that bombshell...Goodnight!
no brother it didnt just beat a hatchback it beat a hatchback packing over 300 horses by 10 seconds plus on 1 lap of a track. thats not a small gap. it puts into perspective how much faster the bike is only when you realise how big that gap would be over a typical race distance say 30 laps, ten seconds a lap if the rider can give that effort every lap. add it up then sit there and count to that number. then you will realise just how much faster that bike is and for much less than half the price of that hatchback :) you have to realise this car magazine is trying to put the civic in a good light being "only ten seconds" behind and in reality 3 seconds would have been a big gap 10 is massive. yes its a good watch but takes an idiot to think its anywhere close
northern marine You missed the words "one of the", which changes the meaning. I mean how many superbikes are more hardcore? Like 5 or 6? So something in the top 10 is somehow pedestrian? Besides, it's a joke.
Robiul Ahmed its actually one of the slowest superbikes, there was a group test a few months ago and the blade was 4 seconds a lap slower than the likes of the bmw hp4 and ducati panigale s. the blade is just not that good anymore and has needed a big overhaul for quite a few years
+northern marine That's still a litre bike, it'll destroy pretty much any stock car in a straight line. They should have compared a 400cc or 250cc vs the Type R.
Rafael Leão well a track like that im pretty sure the 600 would be 2-3 second from the fire blade per lap and the cbr650f might be a 2-3 second of from the 600rr that would still be 4 second faster then the type r might i suggest the cbr500r
You can put ANY of the world's Fastest Most expensive exotic super cars that you can muster BUT, it will NEVER win against ANY motorcycle in a REAL World application: Let's see how fast can your Italian made jalopy in a 92 degree Fahrenheit, Friday afternoon after work day commute 3 day weekend and a 15 mile gridlocked traffic! That and IF you can find a parking spot after 6:00 PM in Downtown San Francisco! We can park our motorcycles on top of the curb.
Obviously you don't ride a bike cars can brake later ????? what the fuk are you on about line whatever car you like up and il out brake you all day long on my bike and that's a twenty year old cbr 1000 f Honda
I hate when people bring the koensigg 1to 1 into an argument a gp bike would demolish it. only thing that can beat bikes are gt300/500 lemans and f1 cars and things similar to that.
Time attack cars will demolish even the fastest and most expensive GP bikes, they are not even that expensive to make, just give cars some power and downforce.

It takes more skill to ride that Fireblade at the limit than it takes to drive the Civic at the limit.
Indeed. The new RR-R SP is an absolute beast. Not at all easy to ride!
Putting up a wheelie to add insult to injury.. bwahhahaha
While the Civic Type R is the top of its class..........the CBR1000rr is the least of its class. Awesome video.
the SP still has top class handling and gearbox among things, they just seem kinda overpriced vs the competition imo.
+ricecakeFTW You have any rankings for the CBR1000rr class by any luck pls?
+Goondindon all you have to do is look up the liter bike shootout videos and comparisons the motorcycle media preforms every so often.

Rotational oversteer can be very helpful with fwd cars actually
I have so much respect for these drivers. The way they handle incredible machines its extraordinary.
These comparison races are the same as comparing an airplane and a space satellite.

This was cool. The Type R of any generation has good handling.
I think the 1000 was overkill for this match up ! I would have used a cbr 600 ! and yes that bike would have done the job !
Do they make a CBR 300 or maybe the CBR650 Would be more interesting.
Long live CBR!
"fist car designed by engineers not salesmen".... uhhh what about every other type r? Not exactly known for being boring cars are they, never mind the fact they they made power without the help of a turbo. Some of them even had blueprinted engines from factory (DC2 etc)...
the last one had a beam suspension over independent of the ep3 to maximise sales profits. Think what he means is the last type r cut corners.

Lol nope Renault sport is thé best, im sorry for you lol
It's like putting a cheetah up against a tortoise with a broken ankle. The bike is light years faster.
still hard for me to buy type R just because of the front wheel drive,they should of gave AWD options than maybe

Wow, I was sure that thing was going to spin at the beginning. Impressive.

I CAN NOT wait to see the CTR vs the Focus RS. 2WD Vs AWD, roughly equal horsepower +/- 10hp, and both being equal parts OMGWTF.
More like +32hp for the Focus RS. 345hp vs 302hp
+Austin Bables Hmm should be close
+Austin Bables awd has 5-10% more power train loss than a fwd car. So WHEEL hp will be very similar if not better for the honda
re: the ring time is not official as there are many parameters from speed restrictions to factory setups and tyres also they are not sold on the showroom floor ring spec.
so far, it's proving that production spec is as good or better.
As if it was gonna go any other way.

That and IF you can find a parking spot after 6:00 PM in Downtown San Francisco! We can park our motorcycles on top of the curb.
Obviously you don't ride a bike cars can brake later ????? what the fuk are you on about line whatever car you like up and il out brake you all day long on my bike and that's a twenty year old cbr 1000 f Honda
not true only if the car generates down force. else no chance
I hate when people bring the koensigg 1to 1 into an argument a gp bike would demolish it. only thing that can beat bikes are gt300/500 lemans and f1 cars and things similar to that.
Time attack cars will demolish even the fastest and most expensive GP bikes, they are not even that expensive to make, just give cars some power and downforce.
Alex Yeung Viper ACR would destroy any high performance street bike around a twisty road.
Top riding!
is the type R coming to the U.S?
+efrain valladares Probably not. Especially when the US Civics aren't offered in a hatchback anymore.
+Yo-yo :(
+efrain valladares This fall, the Sedan-later followed by a Coupe, an Si, a 5-door model,
and a new Civic Type R-will celebrate our take on an advanced,
sport-inspired design. Featuring a new turbo-charged engine, the Civic
Concept embodies the spirited, game-changing future of the
10th-generation Civic.
