Car drivers can only dream. The ZX12R can hit 100MPH in 1st gear and tops out at 192MPH. I'm hoping when I get the exhaust fitted that sits on the floor in front of the telly and the Power Commander set up, it might crack the 200.
The car is good for a laugh in a more laid back kind of way. You can't fall off it for a start.

There are some sick vids linked from the one you've shown... I don't recommend looking at some of them.

Some of the bike ones are really not nice.

Its more of a comment on the "wayhey - check out how fast bikes are" attitude of the OP. Yes they are fast, but people get killed if you dont respect them

jjones

same with cars isn't it though.

guess we just saw your jealous streak

I dont like motorbikes no no. I think they are poo yes yes.
What I do notice is that most of the fast bikes are ridden by fat, balding middle aged men looking for that "buzz" by riding around on sunny Sundays like crazed mentalists while dressed like gay power rangers and not giving a second thought to their own or anyone elses wife and kids...
If I was prime minister I would limit all bikes to 70mph and make "filtering" a custodial offence...
But then that's just me... I know there are some people who like motorbikes, which is why people buy them.. Each to their own, live and let live, it takes one to know one and go go power rangers!

Bikes are fun, until you come off them. My cousin is of work with a broken leg, dislocated knee and 2 broken thumbs after coming off his on a corner.

I'll stick to the car

theres a vid on a site where an american didnt wear a helemt and went head first into a wire fence, his head looked just like when you use those wire cooking things to cut apples etc, his head just went right thru it but stayed in tact so was just eow,that would be a good advert film...

Very few bikers are skilled enough to hit 60 in 3s though whereas it's pretty easy to hit 60 in 4.?s in a 4 wheel drive turbod car See you on the bends!

Yes mate? You know him?

WRX_Dazza

No.

Cracking bike though, shame there is so much traffic and "legal" limitations these days....
I dont think i'm sensible enough to ride a bike again

Hope he takes it easy.

Do you work in Harpenden?? Dazza

I had a ZX12R too. It was an oustanding machine and apart from its amazing performance it handling was more like that of the ZX9R because it is designed with a low CG. I worked my way through all the sports Kwackers!

When I got my STi which I tweaked quite effectively I sold my last motor bike because I felt the Scoob was a very good replacement. Now that the Scoob has gone I get a lot of fun out of my vintage Bonneville 750 which goes quite well for an old bike and I get a lot of pleasure from being a member of the "Kickstart Club"

Abdabz, I am very glad you are not prime minister of course. Do you actually know what you are missing and do you really feel that you have the right to control our lives in the same way that our present leaders want to?
