I kinda want that Ariel Atom now.
Bad motorcyclist habit, leaving your foot hanging until 60 mph.
Amazing number of bugsplats on the BMW.
Also, real BMW riders always wear a flip up-helmet.
Speaking of extremely fast:
Trooper appears at 2:45, bike enters warp speed shortly afterwards. Quickest bit is around 4:05.
Ariel do a V8 version! The engine is a 3 litre, made from two Suzuki Hyabusa bike engines mated on a common crankcase.
Not for the faint-hearted…

Slight derail, but I had to turn off The Grand Tour when the guys were driving their souped up cars in Detroit, like it was an automotive ghost town theme park, even though it was clear that there were people living there. I found it to be a bit offensive, but I can’t really say why. I’ve decided that Jeremy Clarkson is just giving a huge FU to the rest of humanity these last few years.
I didn’t care for that episode too much either.
But the Mongolian special was excellent and worth a watch.
