    Ive driven a few VR-4's, and while fun and exciting, they didnt scare me like the bike does..... Its like when on the bike, i think im going too fast enter the corner get my knee down, right on the limits of the bike...... Shit my pants and have massive adrenilin boost because it was soooo scary and fun at the same time, then it happens all over again with the next corner.......

    I enjoy driving cars but i love riding bikes.......

    I think you will change your mind after the ride on sunday LOL........

    Aahh, not quite. If you've heard the Honda V6 at 8000 rpm just behind your shoulder you'll know that no MR2 is like it. Aural sex!

    If MR2 is a GSXR-600 then the NSX is a GSXR-1000.

    Anyways, I did some thinking and yep, I have come to a conclusion. Most of you are right about just missing what you don't have.

    I definetly absolutly love bikes and everything that goes with them (adrinelin, fun, scary factor and the culture, people, uniqueness etc etc) but since I am a little bit of a speed freak I do enjoy the higher cornering speeds of a car. Riding a bike takes a lot more skill and you are doing work and having fun at the same time. Sometimes its good though to just relax and have fun in a car cause they are a lot easier to go fast in.

    Solution: Best to have both as the wise Mr Trash said (if you can afford it anyway )

    Went for a looong drive in the first Lotus Elan in the country, 3 weeks after I got my licence. (Trusting owner - I was only 15!) Nothings ever seemed quite as good since.! You can have real fun on 4 wheels, but for a balanced life, you need 2 wheels as well!

    I agree, if can you afford it have both, I've got my Sporty and what I call my "motorcycle car", a 950kg kit car with no roof and no side windows, it's fitted with 302 Ford and 5-speed, 2-seater, got the get-upand-go of a bike, the draughts/wetness/smells etc that a bike gives you but it has 4 wheels, a bunch of fun and look-grabber.
    Also got other toys so never get bored with one thing.

    Each has their place and to each their own choice of fun
