Hey Winja I like the K3's looks I think the K5 with 180HP & 8KG's less weight will be to hard to control. Find the 03 just right . Motard Excellent plan Did this to my new 1990 TT600 every one freaked when they saw it . Top fun but if you get caught doing a wheelie they will take your bike under the Boy racer Act . 28 day walk /to Court huge fine then 6 month's walking . Got pinged in Town from traffic light's wheel came of the ground by about 2 inches . Cop was real good about it , told me as above & let me go Sweet So be careful Dude !!

But if the coppers were inside the car with the windows all up, the weight of the car would increase, and the drag would be the same since the outside of the car wouldn't have changed, so I'd think it would go faster :spudwhat:

I'm no Einstien but, EVENTUALLY the object falling would get to a speed that balanced out the pull of gravity, i.e. it couldn't get pulled any faster.
