The thing is: the BMW has launch control and traction control. And weights nothing. Needs more or less 50% of the traction to match any car. As a matter of fact, as soon as the bike shifts in second and open the throttle the race is over. The Atom has no traction control, just 500 Hp on 550 kg. For sure you don't risk to fall from the Atom, but among the three vehicles it is the one more affected by the catastrophic lack of grip of a wet, cold tarmac with cold tires. She's literally on oil.

Kudos to the dude on the bike in the wet. Well done mate!!

It went as expected for me. RallyCross cars are notorious for being incredibly quick off the line, but the incredible power to weight ratio of the Superbike means it can maintain really good acceleration for longer. The Ariel Atom is an incredible car, but due to a lack of traction and power compared to the RallyCross car, it was bound to be left behind in a drag race.

All bikers new the answer before it even started. The bike is a relatively stock item and only about 50% more powerful than a typical sunday morning bike, the cars have been super refined etc but still can't win. Imagine if you tuned the bike (any bike for that matter).....?

And if you add the New, road legal, Kawasaki Ninja H2R, which has 322 HP into the equation, you realise it is practically unbeatable by any road vehicle

I appreciate their way to calculate the power to weight ratio. Most people say that some motorcycles have 1000 HP/ton because they do 190 HP/ 0.190 ton, but you can't forget the rider's weight on a bike: it affects the total weight too much. On a car you can overlook it because usually it's less than a tenth of the car weight.

"Due to the lack of sunshine and common sense, we will always test supercars on a wet track or during heavy rain." The Queen of England...

That was loads of fun, thank you! If you repeat test, yet in dry conditions, what are the order/ time results?

Is it always raining in UK? Every single video its either damp or its pouring.... Stop whining guys. Even in the dry, the result would of been the same. The Ariel Atom will not pass a BMW HP4 after 100mph. The bike would just fly by afterwards. And rain does affect the bike greatly also. I think it would affect the bike the most actually, with such a small contact patch to the ground. The Ariel atom really fucked up the start though. Probably too much rpm's at launch or just too much gas.

It doesn't matter if it was dry or wet. The bike would spank them both either way.

@@alextaylor8776 I don't think there'd be a lot of difference between the Atom and the bike in the dry. The bikes traction control, launch control, and anti wheelie systems would have all been activated as soon as the rider touched the throttle. Plus bikes accelerate really quick. As in stupidly quick. As in my 20 year old 1/4 ton 600cc sports tourer will do 0-60 in under 4 seconds, and hits 100in just over 10 seconds, my 20 year old 600cc sporty commuter will hit 100 in under 9 seconds. And that BMW weighs less than either of them and makes more hp at the wheel than both of my bikes at the crank, combined. That is a seriously quick bike, and on a dry road, with a good rider, and less electronic interference, it would leave most cars standing.

Everyone in the comments says they want to see this in the dry, but the order would be the same. The wet weather gave the bike the biggest disadvantage and the atom would still have traction issues on a dry track and accelerate slower than the rally car.

So much horsepower that you will probably go broke trying to achieve it. Do you at least understand why? Ugh...probably not... Notice how the bike only has two wheels, and how only one of them is powered? Notice how the tire is curved, and only sits on, at max acceleration, maybe the size of a playing card worth of rubber? See, that's called a traction disadvantage. Put this in the rain, and it only gets *worse,* not better, you fool. A 4wd car has four traction points, *all of them producing power.* That's a HUGE advantage against the bike. But, what you people don't seem to understand is the power to weight ratio. You can google it if you don't understand that.

I agree, take away the excuses. Run the bike against it over a 2-4km in the dry, so when it gets obliterated worse, car potatoes can conjure up some different excuses. Car dudes acting like there wasn’t a wet surface for the vehicle with the smallest contact patch, and straight up sleet for the atom. It’s sad.. take the L. Cars are for commuting.

i knew that bike was going to win, i was rooting for the motorcycle

That was some of the fastest gear changing I've ever seen

Try it with the new Ninja H2, would love to see that :D

+Morgan Rides there are Videos the new RR full model (thich is basically the hp4) did even win against the h2r.... horsepower is not everything...you also Need to get it onto the ground...and even if not...id agree it is really fair to compare Turbo charged with non charged...do the same to make them compareable...i slightly remember that the hp4 weights less than the h2...but the h2 is longer...i guess when both will be supercharged it really would be a Close call ^^

I don't understand how one could put so much time and effort into a comparison and not wait for a dry day. The result will always be with an asterisk .

"Oh... it's raining. Guess we'll have to reschedule." "You think so?" "Well yeah! Who wants to watch a drag race shootout that means nothing due to conditions?!". "Yeah.... good point. Man! Do I feel a bit stupid" - Conversation that shoulda took place.

McBaron They are fast with a fast rider, the average superbike with a good rider can do 1;55 on monza chicanes which is faster than Laferrari... and 2;30s on spa franchorchamps which is faster than P1... but stupid riders will do 2;20+ on monza and 2;50+ on spa. Bikes require more skills, a lot more practice and balls.

The HP4 is a mental bike and will always stuff anything, but kudos to Chris Northover who has massive bollocks and a brilliant speed brain, using his head more than the technology

I have been fortunate enough to own an HP4 - I can vouch for a fact that its a beautiful beast - its monstrously fast and incredible gentle in the way it imparts that acceleration - it is not an understatement that it just might be the best motorcyle ever built. I can say that in 2019.

how I hate the uk weather!!!

Beaten by a super bike again..in the rain no less..

That motorbike driver is bloody good. It must be pretty hard to do drag race on a bike under wet conditions

"Ariel Atom? Of course its going to win." Then I saw its competition.

i would STILL pick the atom over the other 2 !

Good thing it was wet out or the Bike would have totally destroyed the cars !!!!

Fact, no car can beat a bike in a straight drag, these new superbikes that are road legel are producing upwards of 190bhp. And weigh as little at 160kg. They are epic figures. Annoys me when I ride my bike and cars try and race you off the line at a set of traffic lights... its like really?

Just proves that lightweight counts for a hell of alot. I remember when a decent hot hatch weighed around 850kg. They were more fun to drive back then

You should wait for an even more rainy day for such a race.
