Some bikes can hit that speed, Honda's are fast, they make race bikes, so I wouldn't be surprised on top of that you're talking about Richard Hammond who presents Top Gear, I think he knows his stuff about motorcycles and cars.
Hammond probably filmed this straight after a Top gear car test or challenge - after all, you can see the tyres at Chicago and the empty worn out tarmac on the side of Hammerhead.
I knew the rocket would succeed, because the rocket is air-dynamic and is light for flight, with large amounts of power. A bike is heavy and especially heavier with a man on it, plus the bike starts out slower, as a rocket is instant in speed.
just before the moment he asks himself which one is going to cross the line first, you here the rest of his 'big box of fireworks' fired somewhere around (2 bangs) lol 0:55 - 1:00
Well, that's just a firecracker, not a booster worthy of space travel, more like your regular bottle rocket. So it's worth looking at. You know, fair competition.
I don't think it was the shell either. It looks like it was the little thing that the golf ball was sitting on. Even though at the beginning he put it on the mat.
not a bad idea, i dont think there are any laws which put a speed limit on how fast you're allowed to travel with a rocket up your arse, so that WOULD get you to work on time. =]
it would have helped if the guy could hit the golf ball worth a shit. Im only 18 and i have knocked drives a little over 300 yards. It looked like he was using a 5 wood. that would add vertical speed and lower horizontal. and if you watch closely, they didnt actually leave at the same time. it looked like the rocket may have been the last, the golf ball second, and the crotchrocket first on the start
Despite Brainiac's best efforts, evidently many of life's mysteries still go unfulfilled...
Awsome! Great episode!
This is the best show on earth!
I wish this show still aired on G4. Man, all those memmories. I love science-reality shows like this (especially british ones!!)
Richard Hammond is a legend
That's definitely one of Queen's best songs
I love what they did with firework rocket!
always love it!
LOL. I love the conclusion!
Ya, I get too! Ears of corn stroked by a hand are in the first scene in the film.
thats looks like fun.. nice vid.
Hmm, I can see where he got his tv presenter technique from for Top Gear UK
and the golfball...well the time is still running on it LOL

John 13 from greece

I'm likin the soundtrack

Very nice bike =]
@StigRossi Yeah right lol. They may indicate the big speeds, but they don't get much above 275kph and 300kph=186mph
almost the first model of these 1000RR
Hammond in leather overalls!!! Oh My!!!!
good one
If you look closely at 3:23, he's totally scuffed the golf ball, and it's at his feet. LOL
@mojojojo928
Thats a Honda Fireblade mate - or 1000RR in Yankspeak, and yeah it can probably go about 190mph (tho claimed to be restricted to 186)
Either it's the ball, or perhaps it's the tee?
real smart!!!! WOW U SPOTTED HIM!!
Richard Hammond in leathers
Oh. My. God!!!

Not really, I just noticed some movement near the bottom and decided to investigate.
Is that the airfield where they film TopGear?
just before the moment he asks himself which one is going to cross the line first, you here the rest of his 'big box of fireworks' fired somewhere around (2 bangs) lol 0:55 - 1:00
ya look closely, the golf ball was right infront of him !! Lmao
man u got the aye of a eagle
3:23 best part
LOL yeah i wondered what mecrazy is on when he said that :p
sooo cool
Which season is this ?
because i live in Lithuania, on discovery i have to watch episodes with Vic and John. and i see Richard only in top gear.

O kurwa!!! (sorry for Polish word but it's to impressive to me ;)) Hammond is wearing a leather!!
nice bike
well hell i dint know he did these things...
hes awesome though
is that the same track from topgear? after all he is on topgear.
ye, the Flash Gordon themetune-Queen
richard hammooond
He's on both
ahhhhhh i was guessing the golf ball!!!
& thats why its called a 'Crotch Rocket'
can anyone tell me what kind of motorcycle is that
dark shorts, dark socks, dark shoes, and pasty white legs do not go together.
at least the golfer was accurate
nice
The 08 Honda Fireblade cud ave changed the result...
CBR1000RR? Yeah, it pretty much is close. In the UK, the CBR can do 189.
i wish mine had a graphite shaft and a titanium head =D
hey its the guy from top gear
Головоломы - отличное шоу! Почему его по Discovery не показывают?!
Yes-yes, I'm from Russia.
hey look its the top gear test track. i wonder how they got on it. oh that's easy to figure out.
supercool
awesome!!!!!!!! 5 stars
nice bike! ;)
nice bike or motorcycle
@GRANPRESENCIA they do look good. i remember when the 04 models hit, it was epic...till u get to try one out, then no so much....
It is a fair race.. The rocket and the golf ball accelerate really fast but the bike does not accelerate nearly as fast as the ball and the rocket
cool
how camp does hammond look at 0:26 lol!!
looks good on a biek tho ;)
A.W x
not a bad idea, i dont think there are any laws which put a speed limit on how fast you're allowed to travel with a rocket up your arse, so that WOULD get you to work on time. =]
Stick the rocket to the bike for boost.
it did
Flash by Queen.
:)
epicccc
@abcasd1 LOL! YEAH he probablly hit a passenger plane or sometin!
lol i love brainiac
Pause it at 2:23 and look carefully near the bottom; He couldn't find it later cause he only hit it 2 feet!
the bike was going 190 dude... and the rocket like 195
The gold ball was just infront of him, watch it back, he hits it like 1/2 a metre lol...
190mph? Yeah right!!
whoehoe richard hammond isn't anti motorcycle :p
yap
i think its 04 1000rr
i think brainic is more fun than mithbusters but mythbusters makes more sence
oh ,okey..
LOLL it looks like a ball though. whats a shel doing there
hey its just a show
What the hell is a Golf Bat? lol
2:22 - 2:24 you can see the ball at his feet rolling. seems he got a bad shot
haha 2:39 the ball only goes a few feet
they dont start at the exact same time
lalolallalaa
hahahhaha i loved your comment.cracked me up.
it would have helped if the guy could hit the golf ball worth a shit. Im only 18 and i have knocked drives a little over 300 yards.

crap i put 3 grand doun on the golf ball and it came in last place. What the hell?!?!?!
the rocket started with delay, the rocket would have won
Lol look at lesgreu's comment!!!!
