It’s another of one of those car vs motorcycle videos, and of late the queen of these on two wheels vs four wheels track battles has been the BMW S 1000 RR with its massive 193 bhp, and 83 lb-ft of torque which maxes out at 189 mph

This time the highly popular Superbike is pitted against a top notch car also made in Germany, the Porsche 997 GT3 RS that has 415 bhp, 300 lb-ft of torque and hits 193 mph.

How do the two fare against one another? Check out the video to find out.

The age-old war of four wheels vs two was taken up again with a guest post from Paul Crowe at the Kneeslider, over on car blog Jalopnik (which is also the day job of Wes Siler from Hell from Leather, as an aside). If you’re a petrol head, you’ll pretty much appreciate anything that’s mechanic and that goes fast, but eventually you’ll have to pick: the motorcycle or the car.

Crowe points out everything from maximising space and fuel efficiency, to performance, tuning, price, safer riders and as a cute ending, the fact that no motorcycle has so far ever been recalled for accidental acceleration. The comments clearly fill in the other side of the coin, citing weather problems, trips to the hardware store, road rash, and all sorts of more intimate reasons to do with the nether regions of the body (backseats and vibrations being pros and cons). See ‘Ten reasons motorcycles are better than cars’ at Jalopnik.com.
