That cbr needs an exaust
Avanti all the way
But But In India u will reach more fast to the destination on 2 wheels :-)
Don't judge a person by his vehicle
Alex you absolutely fudged this one up! I thought you were gonna bring this home for the brotherhood of motorcycling! Instead I don't get to see ethans smug face freezing to death. Unreal
If you did this in Germany the biker would have arrived before the train arrived at the station. It's completely normal to have 30min-1h delays. The worst I experienced was 4h but the problem was, I WAS ALREADY IN THE TRAIN
This is so not fair, they manipulate the race. I Prefer to enjoy landscapes and surrounding on my bike, than sit in a boring vehicle. Also life supposed to be enjoyed, not be a race. Ps: that shower is good for your immune system 😉
It's should've been something like a touring bike instead of CBR.
Boys I totally enjoyed that,you NEED to do more like this and the bants between you guys just killed it
Try it in mumbai-india..😂😂😂
Do one in Germany but give public transport a huge headstart
Bikes for life
Video presentation was 😭 shitiest i have ever seen by the way concept was awesome
3:46 i Prefer this :D
Should have used an adventurebike like the CB500X instead of a CBR500R its a lot more comfortable and you will mostlikely require less rest stops
Fuck jumping in that cold water and riding back in the cold that’s horrible
The taxi driver is a g
Bike's and Car's
I think that race have sense only in urban transport, because a long range train reach higher speeds than a particular vehicle. I mean, I did that with my girlfriend in our city (I know that maybe -none cares- but... Yes, it's #Madrid) and, one time I can win over her and others she can defeat me but only when she or me have any traffic jam and then the public bus or metro can defeat the private transport...
Ullswater and Preston train station, the 2 coldest places in England...
whole thing engineered just so he could take his top off
How does he have to stop for fuel that often?!? I can do over 400k on my bike
If he thinks that bike is fun/fast... wait till he gets on one which is actually fast....
as a former owner of the cbr650r, i am very happy with touring it. might need a bit longer breaks but its a delightful ride considering all the trackbike-like marketing honda has done for it..
ok this channel is officially the unofficial top gear we love (if you can say that..) MORE OF THIS GUYS!
Whoaaa, Oh my god ! I'm shocked ! Taking train on long distance is quicker than any other terrestrial vehicle ?! Hopefully it's still more expensive though. Let's do a test, try leaving London using public transportation. I think I can guess the final result...
Off course motorcycle. *Says before watching video
When is the decider??
Could do with a nice tail tidy on that bike. Would clean it up nicely
Why put GoPro in the fuel tank of the bike? 💩 would have been better for you to tug
He spent £20 on fuel?! for 300 miles?! that bike does 150 miles to empty max, and that is if you ride it in the best conditions, so no city commuting at all. a full tank is about 17 quids so double that for 300 miles i'd say you'd be looking more at 35/40 quid of fuel. Send me the gas stations imma go there to refill if I can spend 20£ for 300 miles lol
OMG THAT IS LITTERALLY THE BIKE MY DAD HAS I THINK THATS A CBR 500 Edit: I just realised it’s a 650r
Biker won. The dudes who took public transport literally had to cheat and decisive the biker to beat him
Rubbish, there's no way public transport won that.
On a bike any day, saves time and money, not to mention more convenient. Especially with heated grips, hand guards, and the right riding gear.
the answer to "would you rather be ______ or on a motorcycle?" is on a Motorcycle
I'd take the bike over anything else, it's just more fun! But this is coming from a guy who commutes every day, year round to work in NYC traffic (until COVID). You do need proper cold weather gear though.
They didn’t win. They cheated.
Hey BBC... did you saw this???? they stole your special show idea...
I didn't finished the video (barely started) and I already know that bike is the winner. Becasue fun factor :-)
£120 cheaper to go and return on the bike, and you have transport when you get to the destination. For the sake of 20 minutes I'd take the bike every time.
It's unfair, the motorcycle limited to the speed of camera crew car
Travelling around, spreading germs, just for fun. Hardly essential travel.......
“Sports bike” sorry but that’s generous it’s more or a commuter and get under the damn screen and you won’t get any where near as cold.
Why on earth would you ride to the Lakes on motorways?! Take your time and a couple of days and go the fun way! So many amazing biking roads in Oxfordshire, Northants, Leics, Derbyshire into the Peaks and north. If you wanted to challenge public transport for time just pack a picnic and go in a car, no stops?!?
Why only a 650
love the motorbike content
Y'all could replace the current top gear team!
Get a better bike that does not have a fuel tank the size of a mouse's bladder.
I can not belive he lost that trip About 2 years ago I made a trip to Barcelona 1700 km from South West of London in 19 hours I know most of you guys may not believe that but I did that on my yamaha xj6n 2009 model bike It was fun and fantastic experience
I'm sooo looking forward to getting my CR125R in March this year!
Is a taxi public transport? I don't think so. Never saw the top gear lads using one.
Disgraceful you let these putzes win.
You’re argument of public transport bring more comfortable. Doesn’t matter to a biker 😂 we love riding. I’d take my bike over any form of transport
In Germany with no speed limits the bike would have won easily
So take it covid rules not in place here right ,, good race though ..
Malayalis undooo...😜
hey alex, idk if you do, but wear earplugs!!! youll get tinitus otherwise and its no fun: first hand experience
How is this not breaking lockdown? That's now local travel for sure hahsha
You ruined the CBR reputation. Cheers lad. Have to sell the bike now 😥😂
Taxi is literally a "private hire" car Not public transport.
fair play for the water dip at the end but you should of won y not a drive through 😀
What is the cost of public transport and the cost of the bike fuel? Please
CBR 650 seems slow compared to older bikes. I had a 1995 CBR 600 which could sit happily at 165mph. Miss those days of having a bike and itching to get one again
Moral of the story. Don’t have a support car following you!
Protip. If your chest is getting cold buy a newspaper.
"I'm not sparing the horses" that bike goes at least 50mph (idk what that is in kph) faster than what he did.
I've travelled from Europe (Belgium) to Brighton both on motorcycle and by train. Much faster on a bike, like it takes a few hours less. The test is kinda rigged because in most scenarios the bike would be faster.
Biking is 100x more fun
As someone who commutes from London to Warwick on a daily basis on a bike, i am disappointed... (M40) you had the wrong bike for the job! Tracer 900 has more beans and is more comfortable to ride over long distances :) .... Alex you let us down.... but great vid guys
remember that time people stuck to 70 on the motorway? no? me neither
Im not angry im so disappointed with ya for loosing
Stop touching your masks, literally makes them pointless.
£80 for the first train ticket alone. That’s about a months worth of fuel on a bike.
Bike for the win. Always. Maybe a bit cramped up on a cb650r, but I’d do that trip for fun on my KTM adventure.
You guys should race Dominic cummings to barnard castle next. Sounds like essential travel to me.
Just do the same in Germany. EZ win for the Bike.
Top Gear rip off plain and simple , do something new boys
BUS WANKERS
mate u was riding 70mph the whole way, what rider rides follows the speed limits ; no rider
However if it was a true public transport vs motorbike race the taxi wouldn’t be allowed. If the last bit had been bus then walk the motorbike would have won. Even they said that whilst on the train that the taxi is cheating slightly.
However, motorbikes are definitely a lot more fun!
*The BBC would like to know your location*
the camera men wasn't wearing a mask while filming on the train ....hahaha at 6:15....
petition for alex to get a bmw s1000rr since he loves bmw's and bikes
This is carthrottle at its best!
Top gear/Grand Tour style episode without the fake rivalry, humiliating the locals or general smugness (or the budget) - just 3 good natured blokes having genuine fun with cars, and now bikes. I really enjoyed that.
I liked the bike part👍
But the bike is going as fast as the support car.! Kick that into touch and wind it up above the 70mph youve done all the way.. Nota true reflection of bikes
I would without a doubt take my Honda Pan European ST 1300 over a train any day (except during heavy rain or snow)
Now please come do this challenge in Montreal in February.
If u want speed get a ninja h2, but if your looking for decent power and outstanding comfortability the tmax 530 dx is for you, it has an amazing electric screen and heated seats/heated grips built in
I would of beat the guys on public transport with my tmax 530 Dx
F..k bus and trains 😎 🏍 all day long 🏍 is way more fun 😎😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is pretty much top gear... and I love it!
Get yourself a tail tidy Alex. That plastic reg holder if fugly!
Id much rather be on a motobike
You lost on purpose dude, for years you've wanted to get your muscles out, I've seen you pump those biceps 💪
Where are the subtitles??
Multimillion pound national train infrastructure just about beats a mid range motorbike that's not really designed for long journeys. Bike still wins for me 😉
