The Atom is a go kart that ate 10K grams of cocaine-infused steroids then downed 100 cans of Monster Energy drinks mixed with 72 hr energy shots.

Faster on the track? Duh. It's got 4 wide ass tires. Don't need an atom to beat a bike on a track. Straight line – that's another story

It probably feels so fast because you have no windscreen,I ve tried riding my motorbike a bit without helmet and it felt like the fastest thing in the world,but still..

Throwing it back in the face of Kawasaki is a bit weird considering the Zx-10r from then was half the price and had much more bhp/tonne.
Comparing the Atom to a super sport bike is also disingenuous. The baby blade is mid range

Wow that's so crazy Top Gear good night was is it just me or did that guy build that himself? He had to have built like the exhaust or something I mean he's got to be an engineer of everything. Oh by the way I built that not that one but somebody stole my idea on the exhaust I'm a Precision engineer welder and this guy's making money for doing nothing what a low life he probably has no idea about anything you can actually see me on YouTube building the s*** he's taking a ride for what a lowlife piece of s***. Have a nice day idiot must be fun to have a lot of money and claim the fame for nothing.

faster than a bike? im sorry what? thats not what we saw. sure in a track yes obviously. 4 points of contact is better than 2. so the bike never really had a chance around those turns. but in the straights. that 600cc middle weight had him dead to rights. now get a proper liter bike or better yet a heavy hitter like a zx14r and this doesnt even come close to it when it comes to sheer speed and acceleration. or if you really wanna go top of the line. which is still only 50k , well below what this costs. you can get the H2R. with an 8 second quarter mile.

Other than the transmission, I think the 2.0 L supercharged version is more desirable than the v8.
