YAMAHA YZF-R1 vs BMW M3

This is a video by which YAMAHA YZF-R1 runs after BMW M3. Japan is running narrowly on the sinuous road with 160Km/h. (By the way, the speed limit of this road seeming is 40 km/h. )

...looks just like scenery from our famous SCMR "runs" up the mountain. I'd rather be in a car for those runs.

Bike was all over the BMW and could have taken him.
One thing that gave the bike an advantage was being able to gauge the road speeds by the M3's . I wonder how he would have done if he was in front of the car?

I don't think he was going to pass the BMW even if he could...or else he probably would have went after the other bike that comes up and is all over the M3. It was probably for the sake of recording anyways.
