Anybody see it? I missed it, damn. Don't know if it's repeated either.

Wasn't anything special. VBH & Tiff just rode the bike in a straight line down a drag strip to see who could go fastest before hitting the brakes. On camera VBH did 150 mph & TD did 156 mph

It's a shame they didn't do a line up of all the previous ZZR's and pit them against each other in a full test. I'm interested to know how much different the new one is on the road compared to the ZZR1100 and 1200. I had an old D2 1100 and have currently got a 1200 and see the 1400 as a potential upgrade.

I'm eagerly awaiting Top Gear's return.

I can't stand VBH.

The woman absolutely loves herself and Fifth Gear is all about the presenters and little about the vehicles.

How a woman with such a speech impediment can become a presenter beats me. Lizard-lips personified.

Hateful woman.

Got to agree, terrible program and she's a crap driver - I remember the Lotus Exige laptime was way slower than it should have been meaning their lap scoreboard was all over the place being that tosser bloke Plato and Tiff (I like Tiff) are way better behind the wheel...

Absolutely rubbish feature.
They gave the bike no respect and acted like giggling schoolkids.

aye, it was crap - they did a few flyers each and shat themselves when the speedo got near 150mph.
