| 500881 | 2006-12-01 08:50:00 | Bit late entering this thread, but just *had* to put my bit in. Had this (www.imagef1.net.nz) bike for a while - great bike to get back into the riding frame of mind. It was in brilliant condition as it had been sitting in a shed for about 10 years. After that, it was time to upgrade, so bought this (www.imagef1.net.nz). Has been up to the North Island and back a number of times, with my wife on the back - very comfortable. Pete |

| 500882 | 2006-12-01 09:55:00 | Thats like me :D My dream bike is a Suzuki GSXR 1300 Hayabusa *shudders* to think... that has the same capacity engine as my old car! and shed loads more power :eek: he he, that aught to get me in trouble :lol: lol stick a turbo on one of those and you get 500HP (www.youtube.com) - around the 3 minute mark u see him do a wheelie past another bike, the slower bike is doing 290Kph! this guy has been clocked doing 340kph IN MOTORWAY TRAFFIC :horrified but police (www.youtube.com) dont seem to be an issue lol actually my traffic negotiation isn't much better, just i don't go more than 30k over the limit:o i've always wondered why an american car engine takes 6000cc to do what a european car engine can do with 2000cc, when the same power is achievable with a 1300cc japanese bikes engine lol |

| 500884 | 2006-12-01 14:01:00 | Torque Vs Revs. The point being, who gives a toss? yeah i suppose so, not that a bike/ any vehicle not made in the states needs that much torque, weight vs. power (and fuel economy) is something the americans are still yet to learn:groan: oh, and i give a toss:p edit: perhaps this thread should be renamed to "Torque about Bikes" or "Bike Torque":D |

| 500885 | 2006-12-01 15:39:00 | yeah i suppose so, not that a bike/ any vehicle not made in the states needs that much torque, weight vs . power (and fuel economy) is something the americans are still yet to learn:groan: We like our Detroit Iron, and more cubes, more torque . The US has a lot of wide open spaces, and twisty corners are something an "island mentality" wraps itself around . . . no flame intended, but straight line brute horsepower is what the US likes, and leave the roundy-round stuff to the Brits and Italians . Our idea of a race is where the rear tires actually go up in flames and leave two, 1,500 foot long black stripes on the pavement . I cannot tell you in enough detail what it sounds like to have a small block Chevy 302 (5 . 0 liter to youse guys) turning 8,000+ RPM, with a pair of quads on a cross-ram manifold sucking air at 2500 cubic feet a minute, the front wheels letting daylight show underneath them and some 14 inch wide wrinkle wall slicks all scrunched up under the torque . Big block 460's (Ford 7 . 4L) and 505 (Chevy 8 . 3L) are torque monsters, many of them blown and injected and tipping some nitrous too . Horsepower of 1,500 on the streets is happening . Got a buddy with a 1984 Chevy K5 Blazer like mine but with a twin turbo'd small block at 383 cubes running 25 lbs boost at idle and 45 lbs at full throttle . . . on the street . It can light up all four 35 inch tires and seriously make a dent in your hearing for the next month when he runs it . It's a legal "daily-driver" that he takes to and from work at least 3 times a week . Sand dunes and boonie bushes have not been any problem for it so far . Yeah . . . cubic inches = cubic fun :cool: |
