It was only the last few seconds the biker started to accelerate hard and I'm not sure the Civic driver realised.

It can't be a Hayabusa must be an inside joke. You're not going to race old civics on a superbike.
A diesel Civic outruns a superbike, both apparently trying. Something is wrong here.I know nothing about bikes but I know of the Busa, it's legendary.
So many things don't add up here. That Civic didn't look particularly slow off the line, and it's a 2.2 diesel (if the plate has been read correctly). And a 'busa didn't leave it going backwards within a couple of seconds once it got moving? Did they trade engines somewhere along the way?

There’s no way the Hayabusa was trying until the last few seconds - then look what happened. I know nothing about bikes but I know of the Busa, it's legendary.

The Civic looked fast off the line but only due to the burnout, and the fact the Busa rider couldn’t be bothered racing at first. For some reason he changed his mind though. Bet he now wishes he didn’t.
My mate had a Civic 2.2 cdti and it couldn’t even keep up with my little Clio so there’s nothing weird going on here.

Why do people post up vids that are about 95% too long?
That little effort could have been conveyed it 30secs without all the preceding guff.
As for the rider...well its what happens when you dick about racing with like minded dicks.
Take your medicine son and stop whinging.
To be fair, in a video like this, had he only posted the actual collision, many would be asking, "so what went on before?" That little effort could have been conveyed it 30secs without all the preceding guff.

In this video, a bit of the earlier footage helps with the context, though I agree that's not always the case and it can be very tedious sometimes

If that were the case, I'd have expected the Civic driver to stop at the scene. The driver may claim he panicked and fled (lack of insurance, under the influence etc.), but it could also be the case of deliberately taking the rider out and then taking off.It was only the last few seconds the biker started to accelerate hard and I'm not sure the Civic driver realised.

That looks way too slow to be a Busa, or anything even remotely powerful?
I'm sorry but launching even a 400 properly and you wouldn't see which way it went vs a Civic. VTEC yo or not. If it was a 'Busa he was probably riding it in the wrong gear and/or just not opening the throttle. Possibly one of the "bought a 200mph bike...never taken it over 4k club"
Equally, if you filter to the front. Take off or f
k off. If you're being beaten by a car off the line then you're too slow and in this case he should maybe take the hint from the wheel spin and smoke off the line... eldar said:

The civic driver was definitely an out of control maniac, wouldn't surprise me if it was stolen or the driven was drunk/on drugs (or both)
Anyway, the biker wasn't trying at all until right at the end of the video when he decided to teach the civic driver a lesson. Which failed miserably.
Comment at the end of the post about his bike getting destroyed "again", makes me think the biker has form.
The Civic driver was clearly in the wrong, but the biker spidey senses would have had me hanging miles back from the weapon in the civic.
Unstoppable force, meets immovable object, when two throbbers collide.

Racing bikes requires a particular set of skills.
You need to be aware of their increased vulnerability and acceleration; and decreased stability and braking.
You need to give them more space and be aware of where they are at all times.
This was 2 people who don't know how to drive/ride well enough to be doing this, meeting. Luckily the biker is OK.
