    I'd say whoever was unfortunate enough to be in the car was prolly hurt worse than whoever was on the bike. Therefor I can't see that putting me off wanting to buy a bike.

    That bike is in too good condition. I'd say that's a setup.

    looks like the bike has sliced pretty much straight thru the car without a spec of damage. Unless it's a highly unlikely "hot knife through butter" scenario, I would have imagined that the bike would have been just as badly off as the car.

    Indeed. There's also a lack of blood/limbs/severed heads about, although the driver may have come off cleanly and be lying in pile half a mile away.

    Unless the car's midsection was held together with tinfoil or the bike had a snowplow attached to its forks, I'd say the car was wrapped around a pole/tree and the bike put in afterwards to look cool.

    Perhaps some sort of twisted advertising campaign for the manufacturer? "Oooh, our bikes are indestructable". The more I look at it, the more it looks photoshopped. And yes, I do have quite a twisted thought process thank you.

    There's something about the size of the bike to the car that's not quite right....

    definately made up. nothing wrong with the size of the car to the bike. i love bikes and crap like that wouldnt change me mind. if the bike did do that damage it would probably have to be doing about 30000mph.

    Yes, proportion and.. unless it's some kind of halucination on my part, wtf is the thing at the top of the swingarm? Looks like the back edge of the front fairing cloned about 4 times against the engine!?! In fact I can see the front edges of 3 seperate cylinders. The lower edges of the tank are all screwed up too, unless of course this is the model that the tank was made out of 100% yellow bird feathers. I'd highlight the bits I'm talking about on the pic itself but I'm too lazy and I'm sure you'll all be able to pick out what I'm talking about anyway.
