Those bikes have a quarter the weight and half the contact patch of a car. I'd be surprised if they couldn't spin the rear at will.

Perhaps I am just a chicken, but there's no way I would be doing that wearing just a t shirt and jeans.

ohgood they are pretty much in vette territory. price wise. with the v10 they are for sure. not hard to ride really. ( was a demo ride a couple years back here in knxville. ) got 4 miles on one. scared the flück out of me. weight wise about same as a goldwing. most of the weight is down low like HD and honda. so really not that hard to handle. what scared me was hte torque @ will on those things.

That is the most absurd and impractical piece of shizit that I've ever seen.

Taint not my eyes with such blasphemy.

I never plan on growing up or getting tired of crotch rockets, but I still want one.

Name says it all it's a muscle bike. Like the cars there good in a straight line but try to do any serious speed in the corners you can forget it. Cool though.

I like the guy with the dual fire extinguishers.

At least, I think that's what those are... surely they're not nos tanks.
