Cars usually have a lot more corner grip than bikes. If I were to do a car/bike, I probably wouldn't use a liter bike.. 'specially not a fakemeout dressup bike like the hypermotard. I'd use a the lightest, fastest 600 I could get my hands on, maybe even a 2 stroke 250. You figure that most bikes are going to out accelerate a car, the next step is to get a bike that carries higher corner speeds, and is less of a hassle to wrestle down under braking.
I don't mean to sound nitpicky, I haven't even gotten to watch the vid yet (!), but a hypermotard is a toy among toys. It doesn't do much of anything well, and it's got no real design intentions... and then you put it up against a street legal purpose built, that makes a lot of creature comfort sacrifices in the name of driving purity and going fast, and you're starting to compare apples to oranges.
I'd genuinely like to see what a no holds barred 600, like a new R6, would do in the "tard's" shoes.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
