Video: Nissan GT-R vs. Ducati 1098S

Which is faster, bike or car? The debate has gone on for ages and the folks at Autocar have revisited the issue with this comparison video. Taking one of our favorite sports cars, the Nissan Skyline GT-R, and pitting it against the Bologna Bullet better known as the Ducati 1098S, we get to see some impressive results from both vehicles. Make your pick now, and see who won the track battle after the jump.
With this comparison made over a year ago, we wonder how a Desmosedici RR or 1198S would have faired…we guess the battle rages on.

It seems like every time they do one of these bike/car comparos it's either wet and or cold out.

Because it gives an advantage to 4wd and turbocharged cars.

Hate the way they blame the size of the contact patch. Cars brake better than bikes cos the bike braking is limited by the stoppie effect. Other than that it was a very good comparison with quite good info, they even mentioned the bike was as good as the car in constant corners, something most comentators get wrong. Very interesting watch.
