[rie]

the next best thing to a bike? a souped up scooter from japan!

[Steam]

THe best thing next to a bike is a SIDECAR.

[mowgli]

Ummm, another bike? :banana:

I kinda like them - until impaled by a judder bar.

[sleeqe2000]

Wouldn't fancy having to do a quick swerve to avoid something - it'll topple over for sure.

Those Japanese are crazy!

Very low COG gave them a score of 5 (top) in the NCAP roll test.

[Strike]

lol, can you imagine getting hit in one of those, it'd be like kicking an empty coke can!

[fireball]

does it have side curtain airbags?

[glice]

That is possibly THE gayest cage I have ever seen. Its like that old Lada joke: whats the difference between that car and a sheep? I'd sooner be seen getting out of a sheep!

Like those carver vids though. Wouldn't mind a rip in one of those.

[gijoe1313]

A personal rocket pack that lasts at least 19 minutes in flight time! Rocketeer here we come! :woohoo:

Or a giant mag-rail gun that blasts you into the air and then snap out glider wings ...

Having a uni-wheel with hamsters running in tracks around it ...

Hover craft shoes ...

Giant springs or pogo type shoes ...

I think Mad Magazine did a kewl article on how to beat the cost of fuel rises years and years ago ...

Agree.


I think the nest best thing to a bike would be the likes of a GT40, light and super powerfull.

[Grahameeboy]

No the best thing next to a bike is space......

[PrincessBandit]

Well I suppose you can hardly call the Smart car (eewww) a "sports" car, but then I wouldn't have called this thing one either. Howzabout the 3 wheeled "motorbike" in at Motomail at the mo - called an mp3, believe it or not. They have their two wheels in the front rather than the back like a trike. Saw one on the internet and then when I called into Motomail on the weekend they had one in the front of the shop. Daggy. Probably has some great features going for it but I think I'll stick to either 2 wheels or my cynos thanks very much ;)

[James Deuce]

Next best thing to a motorcycle is death. If you get my drift.

[Biggles2000]

No bikes have 2 wheels cars have 4 and it is ugly, very ugly. The only thing that comes close to being as much fun as a bike is a Lotus 7.

I saw one driving around here in Auckland the other day. I just about laughed out loud. Has all the worst features of a bike; you'll get wet in the rain, you'l get killed easily when hit by a car, and the worst features of a car; can't split lanes and can't park in a tight little places. But, to each their own! :2thumbsup

Just found the thread.

Still want engine that revs over 10000rpm?

(meh, American people need bigger chassis, it's gonna be way better with shorter lighter chassis XD)

[TygerTung]

Next best thing instead of a motorbike is a pushbike?

[firefighter]

does it have side curtain airbags?

hahahaha, "demand them in your next car"

(as if I earn enough to purchase a vehicle with them fitted!)

[Evo1132]

Helicopter all the way baby, the motorbike of the sky, lol.

[Griffin]

does it have side curtain airbags?

You could fit your own side curtains... I would recommend plain or stripes, stay away from patterns :blip:

Personally I think the next best thing to a bike would be a jetski... motorbike of the waves :yeah:

[Blackbird]

I never thought I'd ever say this, but Mrs B's MX5 is a whole heap of fun. Being low to the ground, you don't have to go fast to get a good impression of speed and it has a heap of MazdaSpeed performance bits on it too. The handling is incredible which is fantastic for the roads round here. The only downer is that I can't drive it hard with her in the car or it would mean a swipe round the head or worse:lol:

Yup! There're a great little car! Does that mean you offer to wash it for her and then have to take it out to "blow dry" it..?:whistle:

[Skyryder]

Seriously..............it would have to be flying.


A bike is an aircraft without wings.

Hehehe - yep, I mostly wash it, but the blow dry is a great idea:innocent:. I also check the water and oil because she refuses to do it and says that's my job.:yes:

Yep, riding a bike, flying or sailing all have similar skill sets.

[TygerTung]

If you can't afford a car with side curtain airbags, you could just wear a helmet while driving.

I'm sure an openface would be well safe enough, would make you look a bit like a rally driver or something though.

[slopster]

ha they do a luxury version!

[Pedrostt500]

well I like a bit of space.
But I geuss Flying would be a similar sesation.

Thats an easy question Edbear

Two bikes of course :yes:

[Coyote]

lol, can you imagine getting hit in one of those, it'd be like kicking an empty coke can!It's so thin I'm sure they'd miss you :p

[avgas]

the next best thing to a bike? a souped up scooter from japan!
Yep i second that.
I HEARD these all over Tokyo. I kept turning around to see a cafe racer but instead kept seeing these low sofa's.
It even makes the most bitter rockers soft towards these mods creations.

[skidMark]

now....whose gunna put a gixxer thou motor in it....:eek:

[niero]

yep, here we are, driving inside woman's panties now. Tell me, who the fuck came up with the name? They are sooo going to get sued. I mean in america santa can not say "ho ho ho" anymore because women get offended by it. Have you guys heard of a brand called David and Goliath? They have a moto it goes "Boys are stupid. Through rocks at them" imagine what kind of uproar it would be if guys had a clothing line with a moto like "All chicks are whores. Fuck them". I mean wtf... Anyway, yeah I bet it doesnt take much to roll thing. Look how high its centre of gravity is.
