Re: Shopping for a motorcycle

This is like someone getting their drivers license and buying a bugatti veyron. They're going to wreck it in the first hour of driving it.

Shayne, take it from someone who works around bikes and cars all the time. **** goes wrong bro, your shift lever pops off, push a rob from hot roddin' it all the time. Bikes are the worst choice to race on.

Re: Shopping for a motorcycle

thx sxe.

I think I'll be fine though, I might drive fast but I'm not stupid about it, I've yet to wreck in my 3000GT (or any car for that matter) and I've gotten that to go just as fast as this bike is capable of. ~185mph

Bikes aren't cars though.

Well good luck... I personally don't like motorcycles. I'm a car person

Re: Shopping for a motorcycle

You've gotten a 3000gt at 185mph. I highly doubt that.

car at 150mph = stable.
bike at 150mph = wind will **** you up.

Dude, it's completely believeable. I've even had my stock '96 Neon to about 120mph.

Pretty sure a Twin Turbo 3000gt can go a fair amount faster...

Turbo'ed cars usually don't have that great top speeds. It's a 3L V6 with like 315HP. There's no way it's doing supercar top speeds.

120mph is not even close to 185mph.

So a 20 year old car is faster than a 90,000 dollar porsche 911 carerra S?

Re: Shopping for a motorcycle

My point was that if my terrible little car can do 120, his MODIFIED 3000gt can do 185mph. I guarantee ds has done some work to it.

And yes, 20 year old cars can be faster that a Porsche with some upgrades.

By the way, the top speed for a 3000gt is about 155mph and that's electronically limited. An extra 30mph with some modification wouldn't be too hard to accomplish.

Whatever, guys.

DS, as long as you're well-educated about the risks and you know how to routinely check your parts and ensure that everything's up to snuff, and you're well aware of riding safety protocols/rules/guidelines, you should be just fine as long as you're not hot-dogging it doing stupid **** that will get you killed.

Even I've ridden 1200cc's. 1200cc cruisers are possible to learn on but it'll be heavy and awkward... a 1200cc sports rider is just lmfao you're going to hurt yourself. For someone like you, I would go with the 1000cc. 750cc will bore you after a while, especially if you have prior racing experience.

Yes.


1998 Twin turbo model, upgraded to 16g ball bearing turbos running @ 23psi, fully replaced all seals and gaskets with performance ones, ram air intake, high lift performance cams, 609 AWHP @ 5300 rpm 477lbs of torque. 185mph isn't ****.

Yes, this is true, it requires a lot of money though.

My brother had a 1987 180sx, it probably did about 140 with a swapped engine, custom exhaust, and a lot of other parts.

But he loves drifting, so he didn't care that much about speed.

He could've gone 90 MPH in 5 seconds.

90MPH in 5 seconds is bugatti territory, sorry no.
