    pffft F40, every wannabe has one.

    Now the Fxx.

    Only twenty available. Owners hand picked. Seats custom molded for driver. etc, etc.

    And if you are lucky enough to be blessed, it'll only cost you 1.5 million euro.

    Indeed, I'm more annoyed I have to pay rego for 2 cars and a bike and can only drive/ride one at any given time. There are others on this site who have even more vehicles they can't drive/ride at the same time.

    After just returning from a particular film, I will add:

    get it tuned up then!

    my ZXR 330kms per tank, cost roughly $26 4cylinder 750cc (96oct)
    my Chaser 600kms per tank, cost roughly $67.50 6 cylinder 2000cc (91oct)
    my Landcruiser 800kms per tank, cost roughly $86.50 4cylinder 3400cc diesel add road tax $32.70 per 1000km ( i buy 10k lots) = $112.66/tank

    which is the cheapest? THE BIKE!!!!
    ALSO local running the bike is on 100% AVGAS so it works to $29 & i could give a shit I enjoy it

    Are but I said running costs not fuel effency. This includes tyres, filters, oil, brake pad, etc. Makes me laugh everytime some dumb "cager" at the pumps say to me "that must be cheap to run" when they see me filling "Roxanne". My answers very from "Na" (and then give them a brakedown of her running costs) to "You've never owned a bike then, have you".

    bikes still cheaper dude, as per cost of doing all the mentioned duties of running costs, even though done more often ( tyres) but as for myself i'd rather spend over $500 for a set of tyres for the bike than spend $1200 on my cruiser for a set or $600 for the car. plus maintenance costs are a small price to pay, almost an investment in the vehicle ( a little maintenance goes along to avoiding major repairs)

    Who give shit what they cost. It's about value.
    Besides has anyone priced track day tyres for cars lately?

    Full set of tyres for the ute cost me less than $300 and last more than 20000Km. Bike $500+ and 6000-10000Km. I kept the bike very well maintain, because if I didn't the result could easily cost my life.

    and he has the balls to take a hand off the bars to move the wire so we can see what's on the speedo

    I'm surprised he can get that fast with balls that big.. wouldn't they increase drag?
