[Sensei]

Are like this

[texmo]

hmmm nice bike... im sure the carbon fiber makes it go a lot faster

[SPORK]

Not if you want the fastest production motorcycle in the world. Ghostrider certainly knows his bikes, but is he still *alive* to ride them?

Yes, he's just releasing a new video. Called "GR Goes Undercover" or something. Also, if you preorder it, you can win a jet black Turboed GSX-R 1000 K5.

Ghost Rider's my idol.

[cowpoos]

mmm...
gots me a TL1000... it's fucken fast (for me). Having owned a lot of smaller bikes over the years nothing compares to the (seemingly) endless power available.
Say what you will about me...you're just jealous!!!

Ps: I just learned about this sites' rating system. To whoever it was that gave me bad rep for my name and my opinion FUCK YOU. Idiots.

I presume your directing that coment about being jelous at me....well...erm...guess what dip shit I own a tls
and if you read the start of the thread probally...I said modern...tls ain't that modern anymore....and by the way before you acuse me of putting bad rep on you...wasn't me...but you probally deserved it.

One of his favoured bikes is a 1300cc, so technically not a thou.

Who? This guy!

Finally got off top gear and onto a motorcycle

Just finished reading lastest RAPID Mag with write up on the Top 1000cc bikes up for grab's GSXR-R1-ZX-MV-999-RSVR even tho the GSXR take top spot over all , the whole Japanese group was the winner as far as been excellent Road going race bikes . The 2 Twin's both Top bikes in their own right as well . I think we all would take any of these bikes if given to us with out a Blink of the eye .

hehehe...

But really the "stig" is Perry Macarthy, who used to be a formula one driver in the early nineties... He was (and still is i think) a successful Audi works driver...

[texmo]

That makes sence in one of the episode he drove a f1 car, was pretty sure he must of had previous exprence for them to let him drive it.

[SimJen]

Perry McCarthy is no longer the Stig, he was sacked due to him using the Stig name to advertise his biography. Noone knows who the new Stig is? at the moment.

I'm picking Johnny Herbert. They've used his Kart Track a couple of times for tests now, plus he wasn't phased by the Renault F1 car at all.

He's also a short arse with a sense of humour.

[SPman]

I reckon Johnny Herbet as well!

[crshbndct]

i heard damon hill did some stig duties at one stage

Heres my opinions to litre bike. I would have one, but only after I tire of a 600

[VasalineWarrior]

no, its not really necessary but people buy them for the exact same reason cage driver get big V8's-because they can. the fact that you have more grunt than just about anyone else on the road is an allurring factor, and with the price of 600's and 750's being only a few grand short of a 1000cc bike, they just go ''why not?''.
the fact that you can go faster through the twisties on a 600 makes little diffrence to them, since you have to basically be a choice rider to get the most out of a bike, and very few people can do this on a 600, let alone a 1000 (sorry nick i dont mean you).
personally though? i say go with the 600 and develop those skills a bit more! knee sliders were meant to be scuffed.

[*sic]

overkill..

as already stated a 600 will put enough HP to the ground for most people, and still maintain a great cornering ability..

although every red blooded male will enjoy something that goes faster..
