Bugatti Veyron vs Yamaha R1 racing down motorway

The Bugatti Veyron dominates in top speed against this Yamaha R1 while they race down a "moterway" in Germany. Very impressive top speed from the Veyron is what we look to expect from this elite vehicle. Not many cars can out run a Yamaha R1 motorcycle. This video clip is somewhat crude but you actually get to see a Bugatti Veyron racing in a top speed race. For the price of the motorcycle it keeps a respectable tail following the Bugatti. Impressive, at least the cyclist can somewhat keep up with this Veryon in a top speed race!

Below are some of the best Autobahn videos on the internet!

It's pretty obvious that the Bugatti Veyron is going to win. But by how much is what I find interesting. Discuss this article with Team-BHP!

Suggested affordable alternative to Bugatti Veyron:

The best bang for your buck in the quarter mile is not what you think. It's not the traditional high priced exotic. Take into consideration the all-wheel drive models offered by Subaru and Mitsubishi. Two sedans, the Lancer Evolution and Impreza WRX-STi can be heavily modified to win against the Veyron for a fraction of the cost by running a record setting 7 second quarter mile. Read more about modifying imports to get exotic speed. Let's take a look at the race footage and then comment below your thoughts.
