There's enough people interested to warrant a section on bikes on Top Gear / 5th Gear.

Saying that, why not a programme on bikes.

Found some clips on SV650s

The Civic's a 2 litre 200BHP motor. The last minute braking on that bike was amazing. No doubt a normal rider would have dropped it doing that though. The pick up on the bike out of the hairpin on the back wheel was great to see.
