well bikes rock! i have raced a few and the only chance you get of beating one is if you can exceed 150 mph,,,,,,,,,,, can u?

Cheeky bugger.

Answer = you blow the pipe off that goes from the turbo to the PITA alloy pipe. You do this by being on full throttle in 2 and about to change to 3, then you here the biggest dump to atmosphere ever. Followed by a slow crawl to a safe place to stop - David Wallis' work:D:D:D:D:D

LOL :D

I've found that some sports bikes struggle

David_Wallis 03 October 2002 10:12 AM

Had to be done really didnt it?

David

P20SPD 03 October 2002 10:16 AM

:D

You obviously tightened it more than me, cause it did not blow off last night.

New record set last night by the, although its about 4 years since i tried it. From Leeds to my home in 32 minutes. Whoops:D

not a chance unless its a 250cc stroker im afraid

scrappydog 03 October 2002 11:03 AM

Suprisingly the bike looses on the straight line braking test (acording to Performance Bikes a couple of years ago - Sti vs R1).

Apart from that the bike rocks!

it was a 400/600(could not really tell) and i was sat right on his bloody arse untill the pipe blew off. it was that loud he actually looked at his bike but realised it was me that made the noise.

the ar5e came from nowhere at a set of lights and cut right infront of me as i was applying a very quick start.:D

dazfzr 03 October 2002 01:16 PM

having owned bikes for a number of years now id say you would blast a 400cc race rep and wouldnt be that far off a 600 after about 100mph but once you get to 900/1000 sports bike thats another story, a straight road near me(private of course) i could get my old fzr1000exup to 165 and my my93wrx goes 130 but the bike just gets there so much quicker(halfway down straight), but when it comes to braking the car has it

Quality craftsmenship that particular connection, I believe. Two highly trained technicians...

P20SPD 03 October 2002 01:59 PM

indeed, highly trained technicians, just the wrong field:D

David_Wallis 03 October 2002 02:20 PM

LMFAO

kwack 03 October 2002 07:25 PM

Got both, My99 and Fireblade only problem is trying to keep the front down on the blade.

And you got no chance in the scoob, lets be honest about that,against any big bore bike.

It all depends on the size of your cahoonas (spelling???)


Steve Whitehorn 03 October 2002 09:33 PM

I am v supprised but I have stayed with most big bikes. I have had to work the car very hard to stay with them. 'But bikes are faster than cars', I wish I could see the looks on their faces when I am still with them. This is the majority of them. However I have come accross two bikes in the last year that have left me for dead. There are fast bikes and there are BIKES. I might be having a duel withg my mates Duccati soon. I do not expect to win.

Cheers
Steve

David_Wallis 04 October 2002 12:04 AM

want to have a go against a 996??

David

Hoppy 04 October 2002 03:21 AM

Don't race bikes! Seriously.

Big bikes are mega quick. But most bike riders (not all) are very slow and don't know their limitations.

I've taunted a few and they always take the bait, but are easy meat. All I did was push them into dangerous territory. One nearly had a serious off, if my rear-view mirror is anything to go by.

I've ridden bikes for thirty years, so I know. It's hard to ride a fast bike fast. It's easy to drive a quick Scoob quickly. Not a fair fight. Leave them alone or it'll end in tears.

Cheers,

Richard.

P20SPD 04 October 2002 05:00 AM

Agree with hoppy.

This was not a "which is quuicker" questions, it was David taking the piss out of me!:D

dowser 04 October 2002 07:58 AM

Agree with Hoppy - once past a certain limit it's the driver/rider that counts more than the hardware.

Richard (who recently had a biker disappear from rear view mirror - luckily the field was soft)
