I see no reason to mention the brand names here of current cars,

out-accelerate your 'vette to 60 mph and some ways beyond.
That would be your Zimmerman-like bike, right?
Nope, it's Italian, and it's very fast. Faster than your pushrod V8
hawg
car under many conditions, I am sure, though I'm not a skillful enough
rider to wring its best out of it.
I can't do this, but I've seen tests of the same model I have run the
quarter mile in a hair over 10 seconds, with a terminal velocity of 145
mph. How's that hawg 'vette do in the quarter mile?
Bull****, YOU said right here last year that you bought a Kawasaki....
And that was probably a lie as well. As many times as he's said that
no one needs or should have a high perfomance boat, car, etc., you can
be sure he didn't buy a high performance bike or sports car. And if
he did, em would be along in a minute questioning his manhood, right?
This is really some high-dollar entertainment, and for free! :-
Actually, I did buy a Kawasaki, I kept it for a while, more than a year,
and then I sold it to buy an Italian bike, which was my first
preference, but I didn't want to make that sort of investment until I
determined whether I'd still enjoy motorcycling.
My guess is that my non-British sports car accelerates about as fast as
your 'vette, and that you have 10-15 mph top end on me. Maybe, if your
valve train can actually take it. I know my non-Japanese Italian
motorcycle will out-accelerate your 'vette on the straights and in the
right driver's hands (not mine, to be sure), blow you right off any real
sports car racing track. I know that because a model similar to what I
have has been raced against Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and has come out
on top...with a pro motorcycle racer doing the driving.
You can tell how much I enjoy both boating and riding my high
performance motorcycle, by the time I actually use either of them. I
hope no one starts to track my posts again where it showed I never was
away from my computer for more than an hour. Damn that was embarrassing.
