ONLY dragsters.

No street going bikes cos you can't get that sort of power onto the road.

Always wanted a Vmax.

Yamaha got the looks and the set up just right for me.

He actually said less than 2 seconds.


There is a WORLD of difference between that and your 2.35 seconds.

Plus zillions more £'s to achieve it.---

Isn’t the original post saying the difference between an older bike and a newer model is 2 seconds? Not that the bikes do it in 2 seconds?

As an aside, my buell does 60 in around 4.5 seconds I think, plenty fast enough for the road, my Enfield does 60 in about 4.5 weeks. But they’re both just as much fun. Each to their own, but the buell is almost too easy to ride fast, the Enfield you feel like you’re working a lot harder to do the corner 10mph slower than the buell. On the flip side, the Enfield does 85-90mpg, the buell does 65 if ridden very carefully.

That's mine.


As for Mr MacAfee's post. I nearly always have trouble understanding them.---



I do also ride a 1964 mobilette quite often, which on rare occasions reaches 20 mph. On a slight downhill incline.-------eventually.

I’ve been thinking about a Boxster for a while, an amazing car for not much money. I see you’ve read about the IMS, if I’m honest the thought of owning one scares me a little if they go wrong
