CBR600RR and R6 Try to Keep Up with Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe

The German Autobahn, the final frontier! When it comes to riding or driving fast withough fearing of having your vehicle confiscated, license cancelled and the bank account bled dry with huge fines, there's no better place than the German highways, ans they have plenty of sectors with no speed limit.
Can you bike do 300 mph (480 km/h) and are you capable of handling it: hit the road, and no one will pull you over. And since Germany is the place where they also make the AMGs, the chance to have one blazing past on the highway is really big.

So here's two riders who felt like matching their machines with the might of a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe. It looks like the 480 HP of the AMD are a very good match for the Honda CBR600RR and the Yamaha YZF-R6, each with 112HP and 118 HP, respectively.

Doing some weight to power math, the HP discrepancy no longer looks that big, and by all means, the AMG gave these guys quite a run for their money. We could not tell whether the C63 driver was squeezing every last drop of power from the car, but the bikes are close to the limit.

A dangerous, but heart-pounding chase. And in this case, street-legal.
