As a bike guy, yay bike is faster! However the big difference is the average driver can get in that car and do a decent time on that road. That RMZ450 would grab the average motorcyclist by the throat and punch him in the face until it needed a valve adjustment.

+mocioclistu right. Motocross racebikes are not comparable to street bikes. They want to rip your arms of, much more than any 200hp streetbike. No smooth 2-4 cylinder cruising. Instant power that will fear anybody who has never ridden one.

Even if the car was faster (say, equally skilled pilots on each vehicle), the other important thing to take in to account is what the bike can do. The Nomad will handle rally like a bat out of hell, but it's not going to complete an enduro race. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing on the Nomad, I think it's amazing. But it just wasn't fair to it to compare it to a dirtbike. Honestly though I wouldn't complain if I had either. Which I don't.

It has been badly graded, there are just no whites in the shots so it looks all flat and horrible. I'm sure the information is in the video files but the editor has an uncalibrated screen & hasn't paid any attention to the histogram. I bet all the shots have histogram a stacked up against the left side with no info in the right 1/3. Apart from all that the colours do look funny. I think they might have been using polarising filters to give more sky detail, but in part have muddied up the greens and browns. (I'm a photographer)
