Default supercharged range rover vs 1000cc bike.

i just had to share this with you guys its the first time i have ever seen a suv take on a bike in person.

so i was on the highway just driving around in my civic si with my girlfriend trying to kill some time.

i look in my rearview and see a bike but dont pay any attention to it when all of a sudden i hear it WOT. my girl breaks her neck and yells holy shit is that a range rover my reaction was what the ****

as they fly by us there neck in neck i couldnt belive it but the range started to pull on the bike i was doing 80mph and they flew by me, they must of been going 110 when they went by my car.

the range rover from my point of view i think had a full car on the bike..but the best part was after the bike let off the range rover decides put his hazards on lol

they got off on the same exit im not sure if they knew eachother or not but when i pulled up next to range it was a guy driving with what looked like his wife/girlfriend

i couldnt stop laughing. i pulled up next to him at the light off the ramp and asked him what it had all he said was a supercharger and drove off when the light turned green.




sorry for the long post but i was just amazed.

bike was probably in 6th gear and didn't downshift

hmm 800whp s2000 9000 whp supra can keep up with 1000cc bikes theres no way a range rover can hang even if it has 800whp

Okay, the Range Rover did not beat a 1000cc sport bike. It just cannot happen if the rider is trying.

That is probably the most far fetched story I have ever heard of. Liter bikes run 10's all day long with a bad rider and trap around 140ish mph...that range rover is lucky to hit 140mph with a long downhill stretch.
