Pam, that looks like the F-Series from the Simpsons :-D

Warren, that Lancer has cookie-cutter tires, it looks ridiculous.

by **Warren** » Feb 28, 2002 @ 10:39pm

The wheels on it are small, but you can always put custom ones on. That's the nice thing about it being cheap, you can completely customize it. New rims, exhaust, engine mods, interior stuff, anything.

Shapeshifter, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking, the F-Type from the Simpsons when Marge goes crazy. LOL!

The Volkswagen W12 just beat some new world records in speed. 350km/h (217mph) for 5,000 miles nonstop. The W12 will be going into production sometime soon.

they must have had stopped. no car has a 5000 mile tank range, particularly at 217 mph.

Bikes are still faster. A stock Hayabusa (fastest production bike in the world) will do about 220 mph, faster with new exhaust, wheels etc.

I thought it was called the Canyonairo

Robby, the best speed out of a Busa (stock) was 200mph (320km/h). Here in Brazil a motorcycle mag achieved 190mph (304km/h).
There are (very few) cars that have better final speeds, but in roll-ons or drag races nothing tops a bike. Even my B12, that's not considered a crotch-rocket, is only slower then about 30 production cars in the quarter-mile (drag-racing).

a busa topped over 200. a kwacker (or was it yam) YZF 1200 topped over 210. It was in superbike magazine, overtaking a TGV (fucking fast french train).
i've only got a 125, but i love it. none of this car nonsense, let alone useless american cars.

yeah, the cayonairo f-series

That power restriction thing is a bitch. Some countrys think that that would decrease accidents. Here in Brazil there are hords of 125cc bikes and we have a gruesome number of accidents.
After 14 years of motorcycling, I can safely say that I never had a bad experience because I never was or will be a poser or squid on a bike. That's how shit happens.
I never rode the Honda (we don't get them here), but the B6 is a blast. Very good mileage, (at least) decent power, NO mechanical headaches and a sweet looking bike. Also, it's easly and cheaply modifyable. If you want to read more about her (from people who have one), go to .[/url]

bandit it is then. i'm a bit appressive of suzis because i first bike was an old suzi moped, and reliability wasn't great, but i sold that today for 430 quid, so i'm smiling.
i'll stick with my NS for while, then get a cheap bandit.

by **Luciano U. Werner** » Mar 3, 2002 @ 9:52pm

Another option is the SV650, but I don't know about the power restriction problem. At Maximum-Suzuki the guys say it's sportier then the B6 (I never even saw one in person) and that it's not as comfortable as the B6.
And what about the Hornet 600? If the 900 (919 to the yanks) had come to this side of the globe, I could have thought about it instead of the B12.

by **Robby** » Mar 3, 2002 @ 9:59pm

i dont like the sv at all. i first saw one on the back cover of superbike, and it was ugly then. its even worse in real life, although it can be restricted.
hornets are nice, but not as chunky as the bandit. the 900 is very nice, but new and a 9. I can't afford to buy new, i'll be able to afford 5 or 6 years old if i work hard over the summer.
