Looks like wanky street car to me. retarded body work, too small for anything but women folk and effeminate men. Bet it sounds like a total wank as well.

So...its a TL1000:bleh:

So...its a TL1000:bleh: All things considered i didnt think looks would bother you mate combined with the fact that that ride could also quite happily tow a caravan.:bleh:

So are you thinking of a bike that's as fast on gravel as a rally car....or do you have some other aspect in mind?

I don't think you'll find a bike capable of that - 2 wheels always loses (almost) to 4 wheels when the gloves are off.No way anything on 2 wheels could get near a WRC car.....but rear wheel drive rally car?....now we got a race on our hands.

Bikes are in the top 10 at the Queenstown Race to the Sky - they are going faster than some seriously fast rally cars....and I reckon if they set their bikes up better they could go even faster.I think an XR750 in TT guise would be ideal.

The most extreme motorcycle that can beat a car in it's own environment?
