QuoteMy Dream Bike Is The Daytona 675, Buying One Next Year , They want 1200 A Year Insurance , where on the GS I Pay 333

+1

daytona are gorgeous, sound amazing, only wiegh 363 pounds. 123 horse, 50something ft/lbs torque. with 85% of the torque available at 4k rpms.  i think about 10% the gs500's torque is is available there. 

GSF Bandit 600/650 or SV 650.
Both naked.

late 80's honda v4 rc30 (the first true race bike with lights).




you can see why I painted my bike this way:

Is that RC30 a 2 smoke v-4? 

Never seen one.

That paint job you got, looks pretty sweet!

RC30 is the VFR750R.  V4 and 4 stroke, but still sexy as hell and and powerful.

aprilla rsv mille 1000r the 75 grand one   but i would never ride it, just sit on it and hug it and kiss it

I think my dream bike would be a ducati, i love the sound and to me they just symbolize the most desirable motorcycle you can buy. Its like a Ferrari, some people would go for the Ferrari some would go for a Lambo. I would certinally class a duca as my dream desirable bike.

However my realistic dream bike is a BMW F800S. 85hp 88Nm of torque and 95% of it available at 5k rpm

95rwhp
162lbs/ft.
85mpg
Dude,  this would be SOOOO much fun to ride.   And cheap to keep fueled up too

what is it terry

It's a Twinstar Thunderstar.
1200cc turbo-diesel.  The engine essentially an upgraded and beautified  VW Lupo engine.
It's 'supposed' to come into production fairly soon (I've heard everything from late 08-early 09 )
And a projected US price of about 12k.

Just for reference, it puts down almost 70lbs/ft more than a hayabusa

Just because of the Diesal Engine isnt it ,

My mums boyfriends 2 litre Diesal Turbo ,  has more Torque than his friends 400 bhp skyline

is that a new BF or the one in jail?

Hes a New one yea , she broke up with the Tattooed one , and hes now moved to Finland...

i may know how you feel, my own mother having 6 husbands and countless bf's...it is not good

yea , its annoying , like The tattooed one, like tattoos and piercings , was the most amazing motorbike rider , and  a painter ,

but this one is a amazing Drummer , and me being a drummer , u no , i suppose its ok for me

Yeah, diesels have a way of making great torque   My old 240d  only puts out like 70hp but it puts out over 100lbs/ft of torque

Yep , Like the Y2k Superbike ,. that is a Turbine Engine , but it runs on Diesal , Aeroplane Fuel , and that puts out Insane Torque

and usually diesels ( built with thicker walled pieces, which usually fire by compression, using a glowplug to light , ) are fairly simple machines. but that torque, would it not be somewhat of a wheelie monster?

or ripping your arms out of your sockets...that much torque in a bike is of no interest to me.

320 BHP @ 52,000  RPM . And Yes I Mean 52,000 !

425.1 ft.lbs Of Torque At 2000  Rpm

Top Speed 250 Mph

0-200 Mph in 15 seconds

Yummy!
