2 things I've learned
Was out on a ride yesterday. I learned:
1) It's possible to get absolutely smoked by an AMG Merc 2) It's not a nice feeling when the rev limiter kicks in (!) |

Re: 2 things I've learned
Are you riding a S1000RR or similar? No? Then no chance.
Most things will catch up an SV and overtake it...unfortunately.

Re: 2 things I've learned
The performance of some modern cars is truly amazing ... as this video of the new Kwak H2R versus a Bugatti Veyron shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi5_GQ78wM8
The traction and the semi-auto gearboxes mean that all the driver has to do is push the 'Sport Mode' button and stand on the throttle. But you can still overtake that car when you reach the next queue of traffic, or filter ahead of them at the next set of lights

Re: 2 things I've learned
I nearly traded mine in when I had my arz handed to me by a brand new golf R32 thing from the lights. I was gobsmacked!
Although mine is restricted by throttle stop (Thats my excuse anyway!) |
