Had a Thundercat, the looks and the way it runs is pure awesome!

[@Exploragrapher]

This is the best MCN video ever! Wonderful departure from the normal stuff you guys do. Can't wait for part 2.

[@aeroflopper]

I have the exact same colour cbr as in the video, mines a 99 the very last f3, ive had mine from new, still looks mint only coverd 9.5k miles, only bike you will ever need

[@damac001]

Very interesting.
I can not wait for the second part. I cheer for Suzuki.

[@thedriver133]

I run a thundercat . Best 600 Made in the 90's

[@Skeletal1989]

Its most likely as most bikes on the road in England are sports bikes and from what I seen from when I visited the US Harley's dominated over there its just a case of there being alot more older ones around, I recently picked up a cbr 600f for £800 and runs like a dream.

[@an50331]

you guys should do more of these old bike challenges, but for gods sake please show the whole clip.

[@velocitude]

Finally! Top Gear for bikes!

[@CAJR22]

@barcode0954 the cat is a great track bike, but fairings where too big and was considered a sports tourer instead!

[@Remo860]

I'm hoping the Yamaha will win with better chassis and brakes. But I think the Suzuki will be hard to beat if the engine is sound.

[@elliotb92]

0:22
look at the guy on the bike on the left hand side

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

@rovinge90 part 2 is on MCN site

[@GOBbluthagain]

nice video... top gear inspired.

[@supersayin1]

My moneys on the Honda. Those bikes were so light and nimble, and had a good power to weight ratio. The Gxxr is too heavey and bulky, and the YZF Thundercat was always simply slow. LOL!!

[@MrB590]

supersayin1 thundercats an,t slow

[@ireviewit2510]

thundercat won the track race and the honda was 20s slower sooo sorry lmao

[@DiscoFang]

1500 quid budgeted for each bike to make a video. How about budgeting 15 quid on wind protection for your mic?

[@thomaswarren2699]

Hahahahaha yeah fkn right

[@mustang19ms]

0:46 and again LOL

[@mmazourov]

does anyone know what tyres they are going to put on the CBR for £200?

[@paganicaleb]

[@oionos2003]

Good morning sunshine...0:22,0:45...

[@Elliottdetroit]

Honda won the gsxr is decent but the Honda is quicker more nimble and looks less weight ...but I think it would be close with the gsxr , /. WTF was the guy thinking wen he bought that thunder cat ? There heavy ass hell! He should of tried to find a r6 so it make this shoot more close and epic!

[@ireviewit2510]

barcode0954 lmao and the thundercat won haha oops

[@GOBbluthagain]

[@BadBoy5]

Hyhyhy i have the same gsx-r 600 :)

[@HotshotGT]

How in the hell did you get a Thundercat for less than £700? That's $1135 in the US, and finding one under 2k here isn't all that common. On a related note, I apparently own the fastest budget bike in this contest (with mods of course). :P

[@DoNotClickUFreak]

and again at 0.47!

[@rxs2kei]

[@Metalmiltia]
