chilli Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think on balance cars have a lot going for them compared to bikes, but bikes offer amazing performance per £ straight out of the box - but you can't clock up many miles on them before they are worthless/shagged anyway - it's horses for courses what I would say is most of us like to make what we have faster. I love the supra because it's fast (as cars go) it's got great looks it gets a lot of respect and recognition it's lovely to drive it's fun to mod (sometimes expensive, but still fun) I like to compare it to other things (nowt wrong with that) but if on rare occassion I get beaten in a straight line by a bikes acceleration it doesn't bother me in the slightest, my attention is quickly back on all the 99% of cars I can still beat after all we tend to compare like for like. When you see a space rocket taking off, you hardly get upset that it can travel at kms per second! the car has so much going for it that it's the prefered choice for many. A bike is a niche form of transport for a reason. Speed is important to most of us, but there is more too it than just that alone for most of us I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I loved motorbikes when i was in my teens. Started on an Rd125lc, then a brand new apprilia rs250. However, picture this. Its 10pm and you're on your way home from the girlfriends. Nice evening, doing 80mph on an easy road wearing leathers, gloves and pads. Round a slight bend to be met by 2 glowing eyes running out of the hedge. * Bang *. Monkjack deers are quite big you know. On a bike you'd have broken both legs and have no skin left on your arms and hips. In a car, you'd be comfortable listening to a cd and maybe smoking a cigarette, and you'd have a deer sprayed all over your bumper, but you'd get out, assess the damage, have a moan and be on your way. This is why i choose to drive a fast car, and i havent been on a motorbike since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I ride a 500 (only for a couple of years so far), and am going to buy a 600 (CBR, GSXR, R6? Not sure yet) at Christmas, when hopefully they're cheaper - for dry miles only! I don't get where this defensive grudge comes from some of the bikers (or new club trolls) recently. Everyone with any amount of sense knows that they're totally different machines with different pros and cons. You can't beat a bike for the freedom and fun it gives, but the Supra for me is a totally different kind of fun. I can't even be bothered to explain. If you don't just get it, you never will. Oh yeah, a BPU Supra will get caned proper by a 600, even from most roll on starts. Off the line it will be almost comical. You might catch a biker by surprise, or one that isn't bothered about racing, but let's face facts everyone Maybe as it's only a 500, and I'm not a proper biker, I don't know...

chilli Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I don't, not a 600 anyway - only from a standstill / low speed. High speed I think it could be quite close, after all good BPU could get up near 190mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High speed I think it could be quite close, after all good BPU could get up near 190mph Must be something wrong with my car then! Running 1.2 bar against a mates CBR600, it took me a very long time to get anywhere near him! Even rolling starts he'd pull away easily. At silly speeds I was the one going past, but only because there was a slight bend on the (cough) test track, and it was windy, and neither of us wanted him getting killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Things must be slow on the power-ranger forum. I guess, like us, they've got bored of JP's "I can afford anything I like" boasting and their trolls like SlowRider and this latest tit have migrated over here trying to prove something that we don't give shit about anyway.

Nine pages of people not giving a shit:thumbs: I don't give a shit, I just like arguing seriously though, there is more to it than acceleration. You could show me the fastest bike in the world and I'd be about as impressed as if you showed me the latest design of passenger train or something. They are all so similar and characterless, who cares FFS! If you;re into it then great, but don't expect us all to care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Aww bless These little men with their wheeled vibrators seem to have forgotten basic physics, we have something called grip, lots and lots of it, I'll catch you and then I'll toe prod your entire bike using a limb that has been torn from your gimp-clad body after it goes through a barbed-wire fence. I can replace the body panels on my car, can you grow a new head? I like these new people, can we keep them?
