Agreed, a stock R1 is not a good match here.

As fast as the veyron is, I'd take a CGT over it

Aside from top speed, I would love to see a Konigseigjijer CCX against a Veyron on the highway to see how much quicker the veyron is.

I love and praise motorcycles, but there's no way in Hell that an R1 will ever conquer that monster.

Maybe a Desmosedici GP7, but not an R1...

Philip, how do you think a Hayabusa Turbo (what turbo would be needed in such a case?) or an MTT Turbine Superbike, http://www.marineturbine.com/motorsports.asp would do in this case?

Hayabusa is too heavy for a race bike, but it can win it at a straightway drag race for short distances, but will be killed on long hauls. Top speed goes to the Veyron.

MTT Turbine definately has the specs to beat the Veyron. It's a heavy bike like the Hayabusa, but more horses help (220 horses is nice enough for me... ) It has a "theoretical" 240 mph, it it has a similar top speed to that of the Veyron. Definately has the potential to win over the Veyron, but at 240 mph, I'd be very VERY afraid of falling off the bike...

I love the Veyron, such a beautiful machine... and so extremely quick. Great video though, thanks for the post!
