Mythbusters: Cars vs. motorcycles

[avgas]

Because as I keep prattling on about, a car exhaust system has far more volume into whihc you can shove scrubbers, as well as revving MUCH lower, thereby producing far more harmful pollutants over time and distance. I'm glad they did it. Maybe you fuckers might start to look at the links and shit I post, eh?

That's alright because I won't be buying bikes off you. Kind of sick of your sanctimonious conversion.

My 250 uses approx 5.0l/100km, while my 1500 car uses roughly 6.9l/100km. But even if I had a bike that used more petrol than the car I wouldn't care, bikes are just so much more enjoyable.

Fuck all of that: did Kari B get her kit off?

No... it was someone that looked a lot like her... Alexandra Sim Wise.

Alexandra: (oh, and it was hard work actually finding her clothed...)

If with 2 equal cars and bikes eg. ZX6R and Porsche GT3 RS then car will be far worse both in fuel and pollutants.

If ZX6R with Honda Jazz then bike will still use less fuel but more harmful pollutants.

End of story.

250 doing 5.0l/100km? You need to get rid of it asap. My 500 KTM supermoto does better than that and so does a 600 and 1000.

You can tell just from the smell produced by motorcycles that pollutants are high. It's the same as lawnmowers put out more pollutants than an SUV/min.

I don't quite understand how 18L of fuel can produce more pollutants through my bike than my car.. does't that just mean my bike's more efficient and detonating the fuel more???

Catalyst converter.

I'm pretty sure my bike's got one of them?

From what I've found with google searching, 5.0l/100km from a 250 I4 seems to be the norm. Most of my riding is on the open road, the bike does 8000rpm at 100kmh, probably a lot of aero drag due to the lack of fairings.

If your ZX6R uses less fuel than a Honda Jazz, then you're riding like a complete poofter and don't deserve a ZX6R. Give it to your Nana for fucks sake......

The Buell's got one of them new fangled real-time diagnostics thingies. Tells you what gas it's using in any particular instant. It's very very disturbing. The only thing saving me from actual bankrupcy is my inability to keep the bitch pinned for very long...

Yup. R1's have one of those critters. I cringe letting the fucker warm up in the morning.........

I think that the way they measure 'environmental impact' is real weak-sauce science.

There are so many other factors and externalities related to vehicles and fuel usage.

For example; how much pollution is involved in creating a car vs creating a bike? How about at the end of the life cycle, how much does it cost to recycle?

How much pollution is created to make a litre of petrol (the total cost of production after prospecting, drilling, refining, shipping, retailing are catered for)? A vehicle that chews more gas needs to have this offset added to it.

As others have mentioned, although a bike belches out far worse stuff from its exhaust it might spend less time doing it because it won't be stuck in traffic as long.

It annoys me to see comparisons that only focus on grams of CO per litre of gas burned etc. Either they're interested in actually measuring impact (and I haven't seen anyone go the extremes I mentioned above - too hard eh!) or they've got an axe to grind.
