Can We Beat A Bike So Fast It Was Banned? | Lotus 110 Vs Modern Superbike

You asked and we listened, and we've got the Lotus 110 timetrial bike made famous by being the the fastest bike ever - so fast that every bike like it was BANNED by the UCI! But is it actually that fast? We pit it against our Superbike to see just how far aero tech has come since the dawn of space-age carbon fibre bikes!
Big thanks to Steve Grimwood for helping this video dream become a reality!
