I'll post a picture of mine when I get home.

That's mine. I have sense modified it, puts out 173 bhp atm. No, you can't beat it with you car, so don't even try saying you could. It beats the Veyron in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Speed restricted to 186mph, and don't feel the need to remove the restriction. All that for ~$13,000.

wats the 0-60 time? i bet i can find somethin (wit 4 wheels) to beat it.

wats with the HUGE fart pipe you got on there? nothin better then the noise of a str8 exhaust...

That was like 2 days after I bought it. Pipes have been replaced with Jardine GP-1's though I have a Taylormade coming in like 2-3 weeks whenever they are done with their back order.

Yes there are things on 4 wheels that can beat it, but you are talking $100,000+ easily at the very very bare minimum and even then I'd be willing to race. Its simply a matter of physics. Plus most cars that have massive horsepower simply can't put it to the road because they just smoke the tires and can't get them to grip. That's why you only see videos on youtube about some guy beating a sportbike in his car where its a 'roll on' because then the cars already moving, negating a huge advantage of a motorcycle.

And lets be practical here, because he said post pictures of your OWN vehicles. What are the chances of running into a super sport car versus a fairly popular sport bike?

Its a nice feeling knowing that I can outrun every vehicle on the road that has 4 wheels, even ones with flashing lights on them I wouldn't....but I could.

All a car has to do is give you a nice nudge and you will be eating dirt, therefor cars win

Not for the same price

I'll see if i can find any foto's of my 1982 Austin Mini 1300. Wicked fun, no demper in the exaust, no insulation between engine compartement and the passengers. Screaming down the highway doing 160, great fun doing roundabouts and cornering, only crashed once badly. It's in repair atm, we're looking to upgrade the engine. With reasonably little effort you can get 100 bhp out of them, MG turbo 1.3 can get you up to 140 but that's just daydreaming.
