Just wanted to share my new toy with you guys. Now no more challenges, I am busy with this one ;)


and that's me


Oh it was so difficult to set the camera on timer and ride around just in time for the shutter to open :D

One of my friends was kind enough not to let me go through this pain and clicked for me :)

cheers,

600cc's corner faster and the latest versions have plenty of power, so they are bad-ass. :)
Nice bike and cool shots, have fun!

That is sweet. I have had several sport bikes, but I am getting older so I just do what old guys do...get a Harley and plug along. I would keep both wheels on the ground. :)

Cool bike man, have fun !

after xraying the mangled remains of bikers who get run over or fall off, I think I'll stay inside the safety of my F150 supercab.

You should get yourself a good set of reinforced leathers asap. Road rash really sucks! :)

I see four tyres, so that's a car.

IMHO motorcycle riding is about corners, lean angle and corner speed.

it has 4 tyres, but they all have individual suspension so it can corner like a normal bike, the inner wheel in the turn will raise higher then the outer wheel so both tyres have full contact with the street.

and it is registered as a motorcycle, even if it's got a V10 500bhp engine from the Dodge Viper.

and to make 0-60mph in 2.5 sec and the max speew way over 300mph. calculated max speed was close to 540mph.

I wish it was a bigger pic !

calculated max speed was close to 540mph. That really does not mean anything, unless you can do it.

Yeah I have read they are better on corners than the bigger bikes, but I am new, need to practice a lot before I can really use it. It has about 105hp
