Ey up ya'll

Drove Brun's Scoob last night and wow, quick motor, but as i ride a gix750 (run's and ducks for cover) your never actually gunna find me selling the bike to by a car....which got me thinking...

Why the hell do you lot bother with 4 wheels ok, yeah they are quick but when it comes to outright fun they aren't even in the same postcode as a bike.....and if i am utterly honest can't see any car getting me around as quick as a bike....like say to the coast and back (bout 120 miles).

Come on be honest your all bikers deep down, just a bit scared of alllll that power now aren't ya

StickyMicky

i think you are scared of the correct "biker" forum, trot on and pat another one of your leather clad mates on the back.

Useless

hmmmm, Letme think.

What do you do with all your gear (lid, gloves, boots and leathers) when you get to your destination???

I just jump out of the car and I'm ready to go.

Must be a pain to sit exposed in all weathers whilst those in cars get to sit in the dry, with the Ac on(depending on weather), listening to tunes on the radio and sitting in comfy seat.

Seen as it CLEARLY a question aimed at the Scoob owners not the bikers maybe you should read it again fella ey

Bikes are good for commuting, and getting through the traffic, but I really wouldn't want to go back to something slower than I already have

And putting bikes in their place is "outright fun"

Pudders69

Ride all year round fella, Lid , leathers....lock em to the bike and i am ready to go. By the time you have sat in traffic for hours with ya a/c on you must be bored of looking at the flashing lights on't dash to keep ya ammused.

Pudders69

Scooters aren't bikes fella

stilover

You make a small mistake in a car, you might crash, and damage your car.

You make a small mistake on a bike ...................... YOU DIE.

I'll stick to 4 wheels thanks. Plus all bikers are Gay

StickyMicky

the point was

**** off back to the bikers and stop trolling for comments........

Pudders69

Told ya Brun, these boyz are too easy

If you are really looking for a sensible answer the reason i don't ride a bike is because i'd end up dead.

Old grannies at junctions struggle to notice my car, let alone a bike.

Pudders69

Fair point fella, we all have near misses, but don't let the actions of others stop you doing something you could really luv doing...


....well ok, crack might be the exception

Dream Weaver

No tunes on a bike, simple as - plus everyone looks gay in those leathers, or like they need a turd desparetely :P

R19KET

Scooters ? thought you said you had a "gix750" ?

But scooters, gix750's, R1's, they're all the same really......... fodder

I find the idea of dressing like a Power Ranger pretty off-putting for a start....



...and disagree with the "we're very, very fast so we own the road" attitude that a lot (I didn't say all so don't bother having a pop) of bikers have. Rarely a day goes by when I'm not confronted by a two-wheeled terror speeding towards me on the wrong side of the road.

ex-webby

Bikes are cool, but

a)I couldnt be arsed to keep putting all the clobber on everytime I got on my bike

b)After being ran off the road in to a ditch at 60mph by another car, which resulted in me being thrown over the front of the bike, tends to make bikes lose their appeal quite quickly.

Regards,
Shaun.

Pudders69

3 seconds to 60...under 6 to 100mph, flat out 175+

You'll always be playing the catch up game........IF you are a decent driver

oh and you better have your traction control, 4 wheel drive, power steering and everything else that drives the car for ya...honestly my Gran could drive fast with all that.

Briforbes: gotta agree there are some shocking leathers out there and there are some shocking riders aswell....but then that goes for cars aswell.

Disclaimer: that wasn't a pop...more fact.

d5hof

bikes?? NO NO NO

R19KET

Like I said........... Fodder

To be honest, I didn't realise your bike was THAT slow............. if my car was that slow, I'd be gutted

You're just another cocky biker, making assumptions, who end up looking daft


Mark.

Pudders69

well i am willing to stand corrected fella, what are you acceleration times...on the road, running road tyres etc?

As for cocky....haven't seen any cocky comments for this lot...no not one!

Shark Man

Why do YOU bother riding modern bikes? Yeah, ok they are quick, but they are far easy to ride and no where near as fun.....

Jump on a H2 kwak and then see what the thrill of biking is "really" all about

s3emo123

I think its everyone to their own i have a scoob & gix 650 k4 i love the scoob as it is to me the next best thing to the gix you can't compare the two you have different levels of a buzz hence why i have both

R19KET

Well you did set out to get a reaction

Don't know the 0-60, but I'd guess sub 3 seconds, 1/4 in 10.4, don't know what the flat out top speed is, but it's been measured at 194.8, 0 - 1 mile.

Oh, and my car is slow, Andy F, Paul, or Gulli, would make you look REALLY daft All of them run in the 9's.

Mark.

Pudders69

ain't gunna argue with that

"I think its everyone to their own i have a scoob & gix 650 k4 "

best of both worlds i suppose (think you mean 600 )



Wheres R19KET with his figures that'll make me look daft

Moley

iTrader: (9)

Look above your previous post

Pudders69

Yeah heard about those boys, but my figures are std and i know those fellas have spent serious money in their scoobs (damned impressive, can't be denied), but a thou with a decent rider should do sub 10 1/4 mile, and with money i have seen 300bhp+ road legal bikes (not inc nos)....now thats a differnt bucket of spanners.

Lets be absolutley clear here, with your figures you have spent some proper money to get there...my bike is std and still not gunna look daft, slower yes, daft...nah, now gimme a busa and 3k and lets be genuine here...i win.

Moley

iTrader: (9)

So let me get this right, you post on a Subaru forum that your bike is quicker than most Scoobies on here.

Yes it it, well done.

However, most people on here don't join other forums of slower vehicles just to boast how much quicker ours are, we'd look like *****...like you are doing here.

Is there any particular point you are trying to get at???

Pudders69

Absolutely....i just wondered how hard you boys would bite...and boy you don't half bite.

As for looking like a ****, maybe a do....but it ammused the hell outta me listen to this lot baulk at any "bikes are better" comments....

And those who have "bike fast" scoobs obviously either figured i am just playing here or don't give a f**k....don't be so sensetive.

I'll pack up my rod and leave...for now, good days fishing me thinks

R19KET

Your question/comment....

I guess if you add certain criteria into the equation, you'll come out where you want, a little like car owners saying they are quicker than bikes, so long as they only include bikes up to a certain power & cost

Out the box, 600cc + bikes will leave 99% of cars, all cars, standing, the £ V performance is phenomenal, but we all know that.......


I'd like to see your face though, when you get left standing by a car

Both are fun, cars are safer, bikes are cheaper. I've had quick bikes, but I value my appendages now days
