nice bike... but why would anyone want to race a bike in a car??? The long winters are the only reason I dont have a bike here in the twin cities.. but that will most likely change in the next couple of years.. we have enough summer to enjoy it. But.. being the toy monger I am I want two, one cruiser and one sport bike :D not to mention I miss my old rm125 so bad I will HAVE to get a cr250 as well

 

nice bike. I too want one, but cant afford it right now.

 

What are you going to do when it rains?

They haven't updated in a while.. But if you check out their videos, you can see a modded supra and skyline both beating sport bikes. And when i say beat, i mean absolutely destroy. Car after car lengths ahead. In one video, the bike gives up because he didn't have a chance..or so it would appear he gave up.

Of course, the tC is a completely different than those two examples. But, with strong axles, amazing grip tires, stage three turbo set up, pushing near 550whp im you could at least hang with some bikes if not beat a few.

 

Two totally different worlds.

When, not if, you survive and can still function fully after a big hit, you may wish you still just drove a simple thing like a tC;)

I do not ride because I only know how to twist that dang right grip one way, fast and broken sooner than later.

nice bike, me wanna get one of those too

 

how much do one of those bad boys cost? I've been thinking about getting a bike with the rising gas prices and all... but I gotta work out to make my skinny ___ look good on such a sexy bike

 

nice bike.. sure it costs at least 10k

Agreed. It is fun driving in the rain. Busting the rear tire loose going around wet corners is a blast on a sportbike. My car is for driving on ice and snow. In the summer, I drive my 93 Suzuki GSX-600 (for now, gonna be upgrading soon). I even rode it last winter when the roads were dry.

"I live my life 2 wheels at a time."

 

Bit of advice: don't get a liter-class sportbike as your first bike. You'd be dead in no time.

Personally, I want one of these. 675cc ought to be enough to keep me happy for a while, especially since that triple makes a lot more torque than a 600-class inline-4 but still has plenty of top-end horsepower. I don't care about drag-racing anyone, I just want to have fun in the twisties.

^^^ the new 675 triple is one hella sexy bike....

Here's a picture of my angry bi*ch



It's a 2005 zx-10r....definitely more bike than anyone needs...

it takes alot of $$$ and work on a car to allow it to run faster than a sportbike.... and only slight modification to the bike and it's ahead of the car again.... look for at least 800HP in a car before even thinking about racing a motorcycle...

All you motorcycle riders out there: Wear your gear!!!

BTW: with a late in the year price, I only paid $8k for this 10R....most of the time, you can expect to buy a new 600cc for 7-8k....a good 600cc bike only a couple years old can go for as low as $4500....

 

Mine is faster than any of yours!!!

Just kidding

This is Goped Tsi running on 105 octane with disc brake and run with chain and centrifugal clutch. The max speed is 45 mph.. I think that is fast enough considering the wheel base is really short and tiny wheels.

 

I have an '05 zx6r. It's plenty quick and if anyone thinks they'll win in a race against a sport bike, you might just be right if its me ;) However, given a good, experienced rider the bike wins every time.

 

I have the engine from the zx-12r, 1200cc I-4.....just its in a jetski...lol

 

My buddy was killed a few months back doing the same thing you plan on doing. Car pulled out in front on him as we was going 100+ Killed both him and driver of the car, Your life not mine.

 

Yeah.

I'd ride a motorcycle for a while, maybe even take some classes, before getting on a hifh-end sport bike.

 

Not to be rude or heartless, but it's sportbikers like that that will give bikers in general a bad name.... racing or running hard in the streets is not smart.... it's called responsibility and if the "kids" whose parents bought him/her brand X motorcycle would actually take some training out on a track and learn to respect the bike, they'd have a lot less chance of getting themselves hurt or killed
