[Brett]

Legend of a car that! Would love it.

 

[not normal dan]

740s rule i love them good old bus done plently of work on them

 

[Ian_182]

Superb vid

 

[jamesp24]

lol its probably running like a 1000hp.

 

[Englebert]

Crazy!

 

[Ali]

Enclosed road! lol...Aye.

 

[TaMrLb]

fantastic, one of my all time fave cars

 

[172Ben]

Love it. Is it wrong to want an R1?

 

[jamesp24]

^ no it means you have a pair .

 

[172Ben]

LOL. Need to get my bike license asap. Love the sound!

 

[MarkCup]

Beast.

 

[Koh12]

That is immense!!

 

[trailerparktrev]

I don't think I'd chance doing 190mph in almost a peasouper.

 

[mr angry]

Hmmm I smell a rat. Volvo has 500bhp and weighs in about 1400kgs, R1 weighs in about 180kg and 150bhp...do the arithmetic...dont add up.

 

[jamesp24]

04 r1 has about 180hp and does 0-100 in about 5.6 seconds.

 

[Ian_182]

Bikes are like clio's.Nearer the top end they die quite quickly in power

 

[jamesp24]

Looks like its running stock brakes lol.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

By christ, i wonder how a 'Busa would compare

 

[172Ben]

Bikes are like clio's.Nearer the top end they die quite quickly in power

To be fair if my clio died out at 180mph id be happy

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

I think the bike is easying off and on the power to get a decent vid even though the volvo is an ANIMAL! i dnt think it would be as fast of the mark as an r1

But what a masterpiece of engineering

 

[jamesp24]

The r1 is in third gear at 50mph whe he accelerates so hes clearly not going for it as it should do 100 in 1st.

 

[thehazzle]

100 in first! Jeez!

 

[172Ben]

The r1 is in third gear at 50mph whe he accelerates so hes clearly not going for it as it should do 100 in 1st.

LOL thats awesome. I could get beaten by one, and he wont have even left 1st gear. I really want one now

 

[The Boosh!]

im sure the hybusa's do something rediculous like 130 mph in 1 gear

 

[Alastair.]

i love that, dad had a volvo 850 t5-r or whatever they were, yellow with black 5 spoke wheels, that was quick. i really want one now!

 

[Fagan]

Road tests for the R1 have recorded 186 mph on the speedo and it was still pulling. It's geared to top out at about 197 mph at its 13,750 redline if the motor could push through the wall of air at that speed. The 0-60 time was 3.13 seconds and it hit nearly 100 mph in first gear.
