SL63 V Yamaha R1

worth a watch! Its insane!!! Having driven a SL65 before Im pretty certain this isnt faked, they are fast cars especially when de restricted!

 

[Adamm.]

I call photo shopped.

 

[BoatNonce]

Driving like a total prick if that really is 180mph.

Out accelerating a bike though? Hmm.

 

[Fred@BTM]

180mph+ there crikey!

 

[-J-]

About 185mph... Quite believable, I was chatting to a chap with a CL63 AMG who claimed his derestricted car was good for around 201mph speedo indicated top speed.

Reckon it would hurt if he came off.

Reckon it would hurt if he came off.

i doubt he'd know tbh

 

[MarcB]

299km/h = 185.79MPH

Trophy would out-do both them on the bends :rasp:

 

[imprezaworks]

True.

Repost. A ten pointer appears from the trees and you'd never find that biker.

R1 does a 1/4 mike in 10s, SL63 in 12s.

So yes the vid is possible, however, pushed to their limits I'd expect the R1 to be slightly faster to 185mph.

If something went wrong your likely to be pretty f**ked either way, but IMO there is a big difference between speeding in a car and speeding on a bike, sat behind the wheel of the Merc I'd feel a lot more comfortable pressing on than on the bike.

 

[imprezaworks]

Definatly mate. Slim chance you would walk away in a car, f**k all chance on a bike.

 

[Matt W]

Im pretty certain this isnt faked

Unlike your beetle.

 

[imprezaworks]

Flol

 

[Ian_182]

Bloody hell thats fast.

 

[Lal B3N]

Some decent speeds there!

 

[LiamR172]

Unlike your beetle.

HAHA!!

Anyway.. that video is pretty insane. I dont know how bikers manage to hold on at those sort of speeds.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Mental speeds! Fcuk that on a bike

 

[Advikaz]

The bloke on the R1 must be shifting like a flange. No disrespect to the SL they are properly quick.

0-100mph on the SL is a good 9.5-10 seconds whereas the R1 (depending on the model) is between 5-6 seconds. It's also a hell of a lot quicker to 60 with the right rider.

 

[.GAZ.]

Meh, Cup would have them both in the twisties.

 

[r900smp]

Biker wasn't trying

I can't see this ringing true. I remember being 2 up with my mate in his "32 ford coupe and racing a thou a couple years back. We were pulling past it below 120 with both rears spinning and then when we hooked up it was bye bye but it wasn't night and day. That car had 700hp+ depending how much C14 we had in it at the time and ran 9 second quarters. I can't see an autobahn super cruiser playing with a sport bike below 180 unless it is heavily played with. Just my opinion
