As said, I know what happened and he was trying, he was no more than 2ft from my bumper for about a 1000 yards whilst we waited for traffic to clear.
30bhp added to 4x4 transmission losses and the much shorter gearing of my T5 I would expect as well.
Don't care if any believes me or not tbh, I was there.
The cossie was slow compared to the bike anyway
