Video: Drift battle pits Mazda RX7 against Kawasaki ZX10

The bike vs car debate extends into the drifting arena - Click above to watch video after the jump

Regardless of where you stand on the "drifting is/isn't a form of motorsports" debate, it's fun to watch a car being piloted on full opposite lock. But is it possible on a motorcycle? Icon Motorsports rider Nick Brocha answers with a fat sideways-smoking yes.

Icon may be know for providing gear for maniacs fans of two-wheeled transportation, but they also sponsor a team of skilled bikers. Brocha is one of those riders and he pits his modded Kawasaki ZX10 against Jim Guthrie and his Corvette-powered Mazda RX-7 drift machine. Add in some cameras and a prime location and we have ourselves an entertaining video, which you can watch after the jump.

It takes balls to drift a motorcycle! Been through enough corners sideways to learn its scary!

I bet the guy riding the bike has an "insane" stamp/tattoo on his wrist lol

(insert comment about a V8 engine being in a rx7... )
crazy video... massive respect for people who can drift PROPERLY... ie the tandem teams, and those guys who can go through a whole circuit sideways with rears smoking
