Pretty sure that was a CBR, I bought one in 86', kicking myself, I coulda had an FJ..... But I do now so all is well. Happy ending without the massage..... there is the Kookalooo...

Just saw a pick during the episode, they showed the CBR on the fuel thank. 100% sure now.

It was getting late for me but after the bike vs car as better for the environment they debunked the seen from the movie RED where Malkovitch shoots an RPG with a hand gun after it was launched at him (cowboy shown down style in the street) and the bullet causes the RPG round to explode early killing the shooter.  Good debunk and great reality check for how fast an RPG is and the damage it does.

If you go back and watch the one about speed cameras where they use a Lambo you will see me in my roadster for a split second on the intro when the get to Infineon Raceway.

It is the red & white roadster on the RPM website
