Re: Equaling the Top Gear Stig lap record

The Dax Rush is also AWD if memory serves. Besides, the lap record is into the 1.16s now, and that's not any faster than the R500 which could have gone faster with warmer tyres.

Re: V8's VS superbikes

The did a test a while back in AMCN I think, a CBR600 vs some kind of hi specced Porche GT something-or-other at Wakefield Park...the bike won easy and cost less than the optional ceramic disks on the Porche :roll:

Extra rubber helps, but bikes can use more of the bitumen and get on the power ...

Re: V8's VS superbikes

In both that test and the later one they did with a 1098 the bike is clearly holding the car up into and through the corners.

Re: OUTRAGE... MOTORCYCLE+PARENTS=KICKED OUT!

Looks like I hit the parental jackpot. When I raised the bike idea they didn't mind at all and let me sell the car they gave me to pay for it.

Re: Michelin road 2 tyres

Jono's a fan of the Roadsmarts. I've got Road 2CT's front and rear and I love 'em. Though the only other tyre I've ridden on was some proddy-spec Diablos on my old 250 Bandit which are a bit out there and not really comparable.

Re: BMW racebike....and Troy

One of these days, BMW will hire a painter who isn’t constricted to colors and designs from the 1970’s.
Giant fail. The M-Sport paint job is an all-time classic and never, ever, ever looks bad.
