The cars and bikes thread!

Busas scare me. I like cars where you have to work for the performance; all art is suffering and all accomplishment is only worth it if it takes effort. Busas make obscene speed too easy (and it's not the only thing in the world that's like that; I have issues with some cars too). Street Twin has 55hp, which doesn't seem like enough to kill yourself via sneeze.

Last time I saw one, it was scattered on I95 for over a mile and the rider was in a body bag at the end of the debris.

You are 180 degrees from reality on this one, Raza. Riding a bike fast is difficult. Cars have incredible margins of error - on the track or street.

That's the dream. Daydream for a while - they're 20k. I'd settle for something less exotic.

More realistically, a 2006-8 r6. Doesn't look dated at all imo. £4-6k

Busas scare me..I like cars

For a moment I thought you'd said

[Seriously]

I know it's difficult. But Busas have soooooo much power. 0-60 in 2.3 seconds without shifting? It's an absurd amount of power.

My 6.2@116.9 1/8 mile would be a sub 2 second 0-60.

However, my point is that the performance isn't easily reached. At the track most "9 second" bikes don't run 9s

Sub 2 seconds to 60?!

[Seriously]

Sub 2 seconds to 60?!

IF you can get the rubber to put that power down without losing grip/spinning.
Trouble is it just won't.

[geoffbot]

Oh some cars can do it on the tarmac for sure. Just very few.

VHT.

Sub 2 seconds to 60?!

I was using calculators to estimate based on 60' 330' and 1/8 mile ET/MPH. It's likely right around the 2 second mark.
