Do you want to see more bike versus car matchups? What other two-, three-, four- or six-wheel pairings would you like to see in the future? Let us know in the comments below!
You should do again with the Porsche. Try and get a rider from wsbk, motogp, ama, or something
Venom F5 vs H2R!
Lucid air sapphire would be a good match up,most likely it would beat the h2
Needs someone who is used to braking and turning a bike for a living. He's giving up WAY too much in those areas. Good race though. Shouldn't be.
Pro cyclist vs loaded semi truck.
The sound of the H2R is just sick as hell
Incredible
Sounds like any other sport bike with a pipe
@@brandonpittman5243they all hv differences
Chris taking the turn like a true drag racer alright 🐢😂
That track seems dusty from all the vids I’ve watched. 😂🤷🏽♂️
😂😂
Maybe the track at that spot was slippery and dusty.😂
Not even pretending to get the knee out
FULLLY UPRIGHT
The H2 R is a scary machine. Imagine if Chris actually had the bike leaned over in the turn
Imagine he’d brought one of the superbusas or the twin turbo gsxr. That would’ve been crazy.
Imagínese si el coche fuera un Rmac o un La Ferrari o un Porsche Carrera GT y no una basura como la que sale en el video
I watch his channel sometimes but there is no way Chris could even pass his motorcycle license skills test on that bike.
@@FrankLimonStrolls😂 H2R will shit on LaFerrari 😂😂😂
H2R from roll beats Rimac Nevera as well
@@archiewilson4943Couldn't use a non-street legal motorcycle for the test anyway. I'm sure you could do better.
Im not a fan of motorbike racing vs cars but id be dumb as hell to not appreciate this video. That was awesome. By far my favorite U-drag race. It must be an everyday chore for Chris to haul around balls that massive. Even though it lost, id love to drive that nsx just once.
Chris Moore is the man. awesome guy to deal with. He's tuned the last 4 or 5 of my bikes and does excellent work.
Wow, I miss having a bike, but that is just way too much for most 😍. Crazy how the H2R just passes the NSX like it was standing still 😮😳👀
H2R isn't street legal anyways
@@hyedefinition1080 it is crazy there is the street legal version. I hope they make you undergo a certification process because this is too much bike, and that's coming from me who loves crazy things - that weighs less than 600#!!
Excellent content. H2R is an incredible piece of machinery.
That trap speed for the H2R is insane!
Nothing impresive for 300hp bike
@@jozefjozefczyk3936kid H2R trapping 175 mph at 1/4 mile and speedo showing 187 mph
That's faster than Rimac Nevera LOL
And that's from 10 mph to 175 mph just under 400 meters
Rimac Nevera only did 167 mph from 10-170 mph in 400 meters roll race
I was absolutely right H2R Smokes The Rimac Nevera on a roll
@@jozefjozefczyk3936 kid it trapped 176 mph under 410 Meters speedo showing 189 mph
Rimac Nevera only 167 mph in 400 Meters
H2R has quicker 100-200 mph than Rimac
Rimac wins from 0-60 and 0-100 mph no doubt
Holy Shake 'n Bake, that is some serious speed!
This was fantastic. Hats off to the driver of the Ninja. That is an absolute beast. More impressive than the time it put down was the speed of 174mph. Rocket ship
Rider
If the track was longer than a quarter mile then that thing would've beaten every supercar on the list. Kawasaki's made a beast and it's 8 years old at this point, yet no ducati panigale, honda fireblade cab beat it in 0-60 and quarter mile times. The closest was honda rc213v-s which costs triple
@@shivamarya5225that's all it's good for it looks like. Top speed runs and roll racing. It's half decent for being able to barely keep up with a bone stock 992 Turbo S in the 1/4 mile, but that's all it's good for. Braking, trash, cornering trash, drivability, trash. Any WSBK rider would take literally any other superbike, M1000rr, V4R, V4 SP2, fireblade SP, ZX-10RR etc etc, for the track. And judging by Chris Moore's inadequate braking and cornering in this vid AND the one against the Porsche, having track experience >>> having drag experience.
@@_ph4nt0mzz_47 every bike doesnt have to be a track bike. There's a reason people buy and pay so much for muscle cars and performance EVs and theres a reason people buy sports cars. A lot of people now buy nakeds over actual sport bikes even though full fairing is much faster on track. A lot of people buy adventure bikes for touring even when they're the opposite of sporty. Some people just want a fast daily or fast tourer. Triumph Rocket 3 also sucks on a track but its still one of the most desirable alongside H2. And if you're talking about wsbk then kawasaki was the most successful manufacturer of the last decade with their zx10r, but people still want the H2. Meanwhile bmw with their m/s1000 have never won in wsbk and probably never will for the forseeable future
for the records, it is not road legal, though
Both vehicles are extremely good on their own segments. The NSX is simply fast.
The Kawasaki is simply scary!
In 10:01 it was like bro was not driving at all from how fast that H2R passed by 😂
Chris showing his drag skills on that turn 😂😂 about 10degree lean angle😂 that was a 4 second waisted there.
For you non riders out there just to show you how fast bikes are I bought a super clean 1989 Yamaha FZR1000 back in 2014. It still runs high 10's in the quarter. Weighs around 530lbs and only has 145hp. I could not imagine riding something with 155 more horsepower and 100 less pounds. Love U drags!
m1000rr did 10.0 sec also, V4R 9.9sec
that H2R has to much power to control 💀
The Ninja had a top speed that's 16 MPH faster than the McLaren which was 1.8 second quicker than the Ninja. If the Ninja is going to be matched against a Turbo S, I'm thinking you need to find the right rider for the Ninja. Probably Chris is the best at launching and doing the drag race and roll-on. And for sure there's riders that can do better in the braking and corner. Just need to find the best overall rider. The Ninja H2 is a beast!
Chris from bike world would do that ninja proud
@@kalebstitham1167I came here to say the same thing lol
The car driver is an average dude. Why should the bike rider need to be some expert?
@@mrnicktoyou You sound like you've never ridden. Launching, braking hard and corning a superbike at speed is so much more...well, nevermind.
@mrnicktoyou it takes far less skill and effort to drive a car fast. Your body is not a part of the vehicle. When it comes to cornering on a motorcycle, your body position plays a huge role in the speed that you can carry through the corner. Chris Moore does nothing more than straight line riding. They don't even need to get a semi-professional. Just someone who knows how to use their body on a bike.
i need to see NSX vs Corvette E-Ray
That would be awesome!
E-Ray should decimate?
@@gunnerscustomsnot with this bike
@selfproclaimednobody4614 h2r biked are high top speed, but there are faster bikes for this test. It didn't even run less than 10 sec 1/4 mile?
The NSX is the E-ray's distant uncle in terms of sport hybrid technology. It's like asking Floyd Mayweather Jr to fight Roger Mayweather.
Finally a channel that gives us great angles of a great race. THANK YOU. I'm hooked.
Cars never stand a chance against bikes .. but it's a fun race there .. especially with my dream car .. the NSX
Koenigsegg would smoke it
Nevera.......
Looks like air conditioning wasn't enough to help the NSX 😢. But those brakes and turning radius is still pretty cool
Kinda funny seeing the umbrella come out during the breaks.
B R A K E S!!! Try breaking the cover of a dictionary.
Big Thumbs up for Chris Moore. Big Thumbs up for H2 R. And big Thumbs up for Edmund cars for making this awesome content 👍👍👍
That was really good... way closer than I thought!!! Great vid...
THAT WAS AWESOMEEEE!!!! This has being really exciting
U Drag needs to be the new standard race format. I love this so much. Bike vs car, car vs car, it's all good!
Awesome video! I love Chris Moore and the Moore Mafia- 🏍🔥
That NSX did better than i thought it would do. I’d like to see it go against the 911 turbo.
911 turbo would kill it. A GT500 already beat the nsx.
Performance-wise, The NSX is primarily a track car. The GT3 version has been a race winner, its chassis handling is incredible. Well, the NSX is also uniquely a multi-mode daily driver supercar, from all-electric tooling around town to eating-up aggressive twisting hills. The simple JB4 & downpipes mod adds another 100 hp for 0-60 in 2.6. Moreover, the Acura NSX is the most versatile & ostensibly, most reliable supercar ever made. And aside from being underrated, like other Hondas, it’s got its crowd of irrational haters. Regardless, it’s resale value will keep on rising.
Love watching production bike’s and cars race. Badass 🤘🏻
A lighter bike with less power and anti wheelie would do better with this u-drag course, ahem panigale v4. I love these u-drag races and it’s awesome to see a bike involved.
A rider mod would do the most ; the guy is a drag racer and brakes and corners about as well as you would expect .
This one was so intense, love the videos got me off my seat 👌👌🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
A vote for the Porsche video. You know I've waited for that for a long time.
Before people start complaining about the numbers, they are racing at around 3000 foot elevation. The thin air at altitude slows down any internal combustion vehicle.
Both vehicles are forced induction but the nsx has an advantage because battery are not affected by altitude.
Is it really that high in elevation? Which airfield is this strip at? I kinda thought it was Leemore or Crows Landing or something.
Subscribed guys. Thanks for an awesome race. Glad you guys picked Chris to ride the H2R. Look forward to seeing more of these type races, hopefully with Chris on the H2R. Thanks to Kawasaki for producing an awesome motorcycle!!!
Chris Moore is a beast. Loved seeing him on the channel.
Dang Chris could you have taken the U turns any slower? Should have setup wide and swept through and throttle out. It would have been a massive change prob 15+mph more through the turn. I'd love to see Chris do a couple track days with proper sorted machines.
I was thinking the same. And how did the car close the gap in braking for the corner??
Chris is a beast at getting down the track but not so much at stopping and turning 😅
@@northerntoyota7584as a seasoned rider I was not in any way surprised he was better in the corner and the braking. The lighter weight of the bike is a factor but the lack of grip against a car is a much bigger factor.
Chris is a professional drag racer. Definitely one of the best at keeping it down and off the line in other words not many people can 60 foot much better but I know dozens of riders who could have smoked his times. He did better the second time and I'm sure he will improve?! Yes the car has much larger contact patches but you could tell he forgot the braking and turning part was part of the race!!
@@joelzylstra2971 I’ve been on motorcycles for over 35 years and there’s no way a car should be diving into the corner deeper and out braking that bike. Now I haven’t driven a nsx, but have driven many sport bikes such as R1, gsxr750, zx9, cbr600rr etc and the braking is insane.
That Chris is popping up everywhere 👍. Great race also
Loved it!! Bring it on!
The pull in that h2r is just crazy
Chris and his usual composure at almost 200mph. 👏👏👏
The guy turns the corner like he’s doing the learners course. He knows how to go straight I’ll give him that.
That was fun to watch!
Dude.. it so cool bro.. i'll waiting for watching H2R vs Supercar.. more video i need it..🎉🎉🎉
I nearly got 3 mini heart attack within a quarter hour 😭. Dude that was intense
Would you guys be able to get a motorcyclist that races motorcyclists around a road course rather than a straight line? We know that the car is going to outhandled the bike but it would be nice to see what a road course rider can do to get all out of the bikes braking and cornering.
Great run...congrats...
This is a nice and unique tweak on a drag race , this channel . This is the American carwao .
On a straight line, Chris is the real deal
Oh man that H2R is music to my ears! Super fast and stylish at the same time I'm all excited watching and hearing it go since I too have a supercharged 4 cylinder powered vehicle - my beloved Honda S2000. Complete with titanium exhaust like the H2R too 😁😘🤩
Great video! H2R is insane...
Well, that was exciting!
Chris Moore is crazy man, I’ve seen him drag race in my small island Antigua🇦🇬 against some crazy bikes
He’s crazy🔥
Lets Go Chris 🤙 No taking it easy on the Porsche Ya Hear
Launch control @1:50 mark 😂
“… wait a second or two, take your foot off the gas and hold on tight.”
Wow, photo finish! Awesome race, couldn't even tell who crossed first.
well, hopefully, the next 2 races helped you out telling.
@@mistreku I stopped after the first one, lol. Cleaning the house for Thanksgiving.
@@jghall00oh dude come back! The last 2 races were impressive
@@theonlybuster I finished cleaning and watched the rest. That was a fun race. I wonder if warming up the NSX tires or going to grippier rubber, like the Trofeo R, would have made a difference, it was that close.
Amazing video 👍
AMAZING RACE
That looked like a lot of fun. Hope there are more vids like this. And more often. U-Drag set-up a lot better than CarWow. But carwow brings in the tuners. Which makes it more entertaining.... for me. Mainly because the UA-camrs that work on their own cars seem more passionate and there is actually something at stake. My thoughts on it at least. Yall stay safe. Great vid.
I LOVE U drags!!
This wax a great race, I can’t wait to see the 911!
This was awesome
Really loved it. Guys bring out other cars to compete with that H2R.
Nice job Chris
i'd like to see nsx type s vs m3 comp xdrive same day performance results
Awesome Sauce!
What a fun race! I love the new NSX but it was behind the competition in terms of power since it’s launch. The first gen. NSX back in the 1990’s was game for every Ferrari and Porsche. The newer version, despite being an excellent car, not so much. The H2R is a dragster simply put. But against let’s say a 992 Turbo S would be dead on U-Drags. Love the video guys! Car vs Bike is always good fun. 🤩
Now that was fun! Always is though!
Moore mafia has officially made it!
Moore Mafia Represent!!!
Lets go Chris!!! ❤
That was fun to watch. You guys should try and get ahold of a Mosler MT900 S and an Ultima GTR to go head-to-head on the U-Drags. A little hyper car vs kit car action would be fun too methinks.
That was awesome.
Chris Moore is a LEGEND ❤️
Chris Moore Rocks 🤩🚀🔥
You know just how powerful a bike with almost to much power is pulling wheelies all the way through the rev range into every gear..respect to Chris, great riding 👏
Great launching, horrible turning
That NSX was gorgeous take it any day of the week over most supercars
“I’ve got air conditioning…” best line ever! I mean, what else can one say?
Great job
That was a fun race to watch. I couldn't find the leader board info that you mentioned, please put a url in the comments so we can find what you mention.
LFG!! That's was frickin awesome! Give me more, straight into my veins!
That was awesome
Whats special about this kind of drag race is that I remember the scene from 2F2Furious , they raced the two muscle cars vs two tuner cars.
love that NSX....PURE BEAUTY
Speaking as one of the regular drivers in this series, I have a lot of sympathy for Chris’ approach. If you’re driving something with lots of horsepower but not a lot of grip - e.g. Edmunds’ Lucid or a Durango Hellcat - then it pays to treat the turn as more of a V. Get it stopped, turned, straight and back on the power as fast as possible. If you’re in a sports car with lots of grip then a traditional racing line, a U, is optimal, as demonstrated by Kurt here.
First I thought it was a very dumb matchup thinking the bike would just destroy but wow the Nsx is really underrated
Rider can't turn the bike😂 it's an absurd matchup when the rider knows what they're doing.
I love bikes...pls, pls, pls do another one of these
Stay tuned!
Awesome!!!!
I love it👌🏾👌🏾
Best one yet
Well well done
Wow! Awesome
Taking the foot off the gas often results in suboptimal launches 😎
I was wondering if anyone else caught him saying that!
wow .. that's awesome race😱😱😱❤️🇵🇭
Difference between riding a motorcycle is that the performance of bikes has a much higher dependency on the skill of its rider. So easy to F up and end up sliding down the road or much much worse.Chris is a great drag rider but isnt great at stopping and turning
That was epic.
What a race, that NSX must be fast to keep up with that h2r
U Drags is the coolest 😎 race on UA-cam
Moore mafia baby!
amazing U-drag race the h2r gaping on 2 wheels wow what a sight to watch the 720s mclaren should give it a good run for it's money
720s will win on U drag it's better under braking and cornering just like 765LT 29.6 720s can go even faster
But at 1/4 mile drag race H2R will destroy the 720s or 765LT or even the Plaid
Imagine if street races were udrag race. So cool, i bet Japan would love it
Moore Mafia squad 😎
Holy God that bike is absolute rocket. 🤘😅😎👍
can not wait to see the Mustang GTD in one of the videos next 2 years
