Saw this a little while back... you need to drive the unrestricted part of the IoM as fast as you can go to appreciate just how psychopatihically fast he’s going.

I went round it in an E46 M3 driven by a local & we weren’t hanging about... this isn’t another level, it’s another galaxy fast

That's like going to the shops, what with 4 wheels, 4WD and a roll-cage and an average speed of just 128.7 mph.

Huge Kahoonas is doing the same track at over 135 mph on 2 wheels!

Clip here - I couldn't find the whole lap, but it gives you an idea:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwjUC5GzEZA

I suggest we’d need to do a fairer comparison, as you’re talking about a full on race bike vs a rally car, so propose a more balanced test would be:

- Subaru vs race trials bike

- F1 car vs race road bike (though the F1 suspension would take a hammering)
