Them Nobles are quick
Discussion
Theres this red noble kicking around the Stokesley area seen it a few times now ,well tonight a biker decided to take him on ,the biker flew past me ,i pulled over as far as i could to the curb to let the noble past he did just that ,he soon caught the biker up then overtook the biker (Both were shifting)had to 
would have liked to have seen the bikers face when he overtook him .
wheres our friendly blue Noble owner in the north east ive promised me kids to show them your car at the next meet. as you can tell they were with me when this happened and thought the car was coooooooolll.

a couple of weeks ago i was coming back from Helmsly a suzuki hyabusa came up behind so i moved ahead a bit but my exhaust touched down at the top of clay bank so i eased of, as i came through Gt Broughton a red Noble pulled out of the Bay horse behind me as we came out of the village the hyabusa and two others came past the noble hung back with his winker on for me to go but i was having no more so he pulled past me pluss three cars in front and cought the three bikes as if they were stood still i dont know if he passed them but i bet he did ,i think a good driver in a noble is uncatchable in any other car well thats my excuse Steve.

I'm here. I hope to make the Kielder run and offer some passenger rides. Sorry, no balls out driving on the public roads (but you will experience 0 - 60 in 3.5 seconds and a car that changes direction like a fly) I save that for track days in the car. I will post any track days that I book and offer passenger rides also.
Cheers,
Ian.
Steve its probably the same noble i think hes from Gt Broughton he must like toying with the bikers, hes a good driver from what i seen but like ian says should leave it for the track if you want to test its true performance,(parkways my track opps sorry croft )ian probably see up at kielder on the 16th
cheers neil

yep bikes could quite easy run rings round a car especially if its a superbike but depends on the drivers as well,road conditions,etc personally i wouldnt even attempt to race a bike (ONLY THE ONES YOU PEDAL) cos id have no chance.but was impressed by the way the noble kept up and over took him it looked a fairly big bike as well ,i presume he must pick his bikes to race.
I work for Noble and I can vouch that they walk away from bikes on anything with a bend in it and any Noble owner lucky enough to have 400bhp under the rear clam will say goodbye to any 1000cc bike on any road. Not sure how it would do against say a busa at bruntinthorpe, probs get beat, but any corners and the bike would just vanish behind sumwhere.
To put it in context, I was racing this Ninja in my kitcar and even though I have twice the weight and the same power, two 12st lads and a full tank, I walked around the outside of him on a large roundabout when he was on his knee. I know that a good rider could have kept with me but it just goes to show that its not all about acc'n
