    Ditto. Looks as if it's already had a stack.

    I,m going with mx5[1999] and sv650s. Both handle well, with adequate power, and both dont get the credit they are due because they are Japanese...
    AND I currently own both!

    That's spot-on, I reckon. Same curvy round bits too.

    I wish you could lose the helmet like that on scooters today. How convenient would that be... no gloves, helmet, jacket; just jump on and head down to the café. Wind in your hair. Don't crash, though...

    Dude I own a Vmax and I've driven a charger. Trust me they are quite simaler.

    Decent power stock but almost anything newer can out do it except in straight lines where it will still take out the unwary opponent. But with certain mods can be made into a true monster.

    I'm not sure I agree. Different styling; Vmax is super-aggressive dynamic industrial techno stuff; Charger is standard bloated American slab.

    Vmax also can go around corners, or so I read somewhere. Charger is strictly a straight-line animal, which wallows around corners like a 70s Kawasaki superbike.

    Charger is more akin to some hotrodded Harley. Cool in a bogan-mullet way, lots of power and fat wheels, but way too heavy and disproportionate to handle in any sense of the word.

    lol the Vmax is esentiallywhat a horodded harley is mate. The only real reason it handles as good as it does is shorter wheel base with decent-ish rake and trail. Not making long distance calls to the front wheel you know?

    Put in the flexible as hell frame, soft suspension, and exhust tube swing arm and the thing wobles all over at anything over 75kmh in 50kmh corners.
    It's much better than a cruiser for response and the like but quite unstable in anything other than a stright line at speed.

    Not really in the big league of bikes nor cars, My VN250 and my Daimler.

    Both are slow, consume a lot of gas (comparativley), comfortable, quite reliable and oh so much fun to cruise in.

    (forgot to mention they both brake like buses and they're both sexy red)

    No the MX5 doesnt get credit because its a hairdressers car that gay men, men going through their mid life crisis and women going through menopause buy, cause its cheap and a convertible.

    What are you people on? There is NO comparison at all. Comparing a motorcycle to a car (bleah) is like trying to claim intelligent design is the result of a benign God looking to create the perfect reality for Human Beings.

    There's more oxymorons in that concept than the phrase "Baseball World Series".
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
