greeny Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Nice little vid! Would be interesting to see Westfields new offering against the R500! Autocar R500 v Ducati Quote
Asterix Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Excellent vid m8e. Shame Westfield don't attract the same press, because they deserve it too. Quote
greeny Posted May 16, 2008 Author Posted May 16, 2008 This is true. However, the futures bright! Quote

nikpro Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Nice little vid! Would be interesting to see Westfields new offering against the R500! Autocar R500 v Ducati What new Offering? Can't think of anything that Westfield sell (standard kit wise) that would match the R500; it's lighter and more powerfull than the 2000S. Quote
Buzz Billsberry Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Shame they never used a proper bike, it would have left the cateringvan for dead Buzz Quote
samcooke Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Don't fink that's new is it? Looks like an old R500 to me... Quote
danmo Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 was a good vid i thought. surely a westie busa would keep up to the R500 (or somewhere nearby anyway)? I like that bike tho!! Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 was a good vid i thought. surely a westie busa would keep up to the R500 (or somewhere nearby anyway)? I like that bike tho!! I would doubt that a Busa on my scales comes in at about 490kg in road trim. With 180bhp and 490kg thats 367 bhp per ton thats a long way off an R500. Quote
steve_m Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Shame they never used a proper bike, it would have left the cateringvan for dead Buzz I was thinking the same, even a 600cc would nail the Cateringvan on that track. Quote
danmo Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Oh, fairenough. Well, maybe need some tuning work then Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Oh, fairenough. Well, maybe need some tuning work then Now your talking Quote
lespaul Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Nice vid. Not the most modern engine in the Hypermotard though as it's an old 2 valve air cooled 1000cc twin, think a 1098 would have been a better comparison Darren Quote
