Someone i know has one - immense looking car, especially when he started using it for work!

The chances of anyone doing really quick 0-60's on the road is pretty slim. The car/bike has to be in a suitable state of tune and the driver/rider also has to be on form.

In general, most bikes should leave most cars, the power/weight ratio is in our favour and very powerful cars have problem getting the power down on normal roads. However, there are a few cars driven by "good" drivers that will give you a run for your money, especially if they get away half a second or so before you.

When I had a head to head with an M3 the conversation between us was something like:

Me "4.2 litres and over £30k ? This is 600cc and only £6k" (I was on my Gixer)
Him "Maybe, but I don't get wet when it rains and get the family in too" :lol:

See, it's all relative..... But it's all about fun isn't it ?

.

Steve....So that makes it that his super dooper car is only priced at 4pence per cc more than your Gixxer was? Difficult to make financial sense about owning a bike isn't it? :wink: :P

Maybe, but I haven't got £30k laying around right now.... And how much per mile does it cost ? 8)

.

RIDE datalogged a pointy at 3.64 secs 0-60 and 0-100 in about 9.5 secs.

Not bad... 8)

My cat can do 0-60 in about 2 seconds flat. Now that's impressive. Must be the 4 leg drive thing. Just need to figure out a way to attach a seat and some renthals to her.

why do we get restricted licenses? and yet if you can afford it from 17 you could get a veyron! yet bikers be stuck on a 125?

bet the rules are made by car drivers!

or the majority of voters

As replied to in other posts if a 17 year old could get hs hands on a GSX-R1000 then we really should start to worry. There would be so many deaths. I for one agree with the current system but feel there is not much need to make it any harder.
