i'm waiting for someone to post up the 7 sec viper

I need to not be poor:(

I'm trained in how to use that stuff, let me know if you want to fuck around with it sometime.

Seriously!? I'm not saying you guys are wrong, but my 750 says 2200ml on the case but i usually only put ~2.5 quarts with a filter change. Your RSV is dry sump?

My birthday suit:D

So you're telling me you'd dump the bike rather than stand it up and continue with the session? If I didn't run into the grass my bike would look very similar to whodey's. That or I was just taking the motard line!!

For a 600 this is actually false. They lack the HP to rev out 6th in the first place so the gearing will actually produce the same speed but at a different, higher, rpm.

What's rep?

I agree wholeheartedly, but trying to justify why you won't buy it by calling it crap isn't really fair. Sure you'll be paying for name, exclusivity, blah blah blah, but it also isn't a gussied up yugo either.

Classic

It's more along the lines of why people buy Bimota motorcycles. They're basically a Ducati, trellis frame, Ohlins suspension, Marchesini wheels etc. But, they're handbuilt, only 2/day. And they fetch $200k+. For what? It's the same reason the Mona Lisa is worth a billion dollars or whatever but you can get the copy for $5. Just because you would rather spend your money elsewhere doesn't make it junk.

Not necessarily, but but it adds to cost and shows a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that people are willing to pay a premium for. So in this case, yes. I'll throw it back at you though: A Honda Civic isn't handbuilt, makes 100hp/liter and will probably last 10x longer than the M3's or the AMG, does that mean it's superior?

It's a throwback to the 1955 mercedes benz 300 slr google it So what? They'd be bought regardless so you might as well make the faithful customers happy. The F1 and Ariel Atom are racecars in every aspect, this is really more of a showpiece/GT than anything else. And for the record the Atom out performs almost every production car to date (with exception to top speed) With regards this engine vs. the M3 V8. Do you get that to get the 100HP/liter in the M3 they had to sacrifice massive amounts of torque. 420 hp / 295 lb-ft vs 600 hp / 605 lb-ft. AMG engines are handbuilt, I can't say the same for BMW's. Even the McLaren F1 needed 6+ liters of V12 to produce ~600hp but only had ~480lb-ft torque. So it depends on what kind of power you're looking for. For track use the high strung, high reving M3 is perfect. For brutal, reliable power for long comfortable trips, a supercharger is where it's at. O yea. 14mpg city and 20mpg highway isn't exactly stellar for the M3.

He got ripped off then, because the Ohio environmental tire tax is only a $1 charge per tire.

Ask Keith (Big Cheif) how easy it was to sell his Triumph...

They charge $9 per tire mailed. So buying a tire online will actually cost you a few bucks more than the store.
