and against a Honda Fireblade? I don't think so

How do motorbike times on the ring compare to fast car ones? Nothing
to do with dennis, just wondering how much of a car you need to beat a
fireblade.

They had a race on top gear a while back (at another track) Honda vs Honda

IIRC the bike won by a slight margin, ICBW

I thought that was the one where the car won? The bike pulled away on
the straight bits, but the car got past it on the twisty stuff.

ISTR watching Sabine in the M5 on the ring, was generally taking most
of the bike riders, but a few were coming past.

According to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring_lap_times

None of the bikes have got below 7 mins.

What does denise drive ? has to be a volvo, doesn't it

A Matiz probably...

A RiTiz more likely
