He is brave! I can’t imagine myself riding in the TT that fast.

What a sweet engine, one of the smoothest 1L L4 engines. I really believe in five-valve engines. It makes speed senseless.

Bikes are cool. Am I the only one out there that lost their desire/love of exotic cars after getting a sportbike?

yep, I used to fully mod my cars but now I don't even really care to. Seems like a waste since even when my bike was stock it would kill just about any car I could ever afford. The mod money goes for bike track days and mods.

same here. i actually pulled shit off my car cause i figured "what's the point".

from here on out my cars will only get suspension upgrades and a engine tune. that's all it will need...cause nothing out there will keep up with a 600cc street bike or bigger.

I am the opposite. I have a 06 zx10r that I put a lot of money into(akra exhaust, pc3, intake, gears, velocity stacks, etc) Then a 550+hp integra kept up with me gear for gear till 150. So now all my money is going into the S.

I can never figure out how Isle of Man racers fit their humongous balls onto the bikes they ride! When the runoffs at 150-odd MPH are stone walls... it just boggles the mind.
