    Especially when we both are in fact saying the same type of thing about marketing words type and design of modern Sportsbikes.Shame you missed that for the sake of being a argumentative dickhead.

    Have a nice life
    At what point have we been saying the same thing?

    Clearly my literal understanding of the term is something you take exception to. Bit don't wank on all superior like, then cry when I call bullshit. Toughen up bitch.

    Small point... the Harley is listed in the sports category... not the sportsbike category.

    So, what is your point exactly?
    You should probably trade the rig for that Harley

    I'd quite like the NOS kit, but not allowed.

    Dunno how a drag hoop would cope with lateral forces.

    Had a few guys describe the Diavel I was riding in Canada as a "Sports bike". I was like, erm, no.
    It wasn't bad on the corners to be fair, and was fucking fast, but it sure as hell was not a sports bike. But it's not a cruiser either IMO. So what would you put it in if you were selling it on Trademe?

    Obviously no rego/ wof? Could buy a brand new litre bike and do just as fast 1/4 mile (or faster) at a fraction of the cost. You can even ride home after!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    You're saying (without knowing anything about the drag bike) that a stock ZX10 will cut a faster quarter?

    I did a bit of reading up on that thing, it appears in the hands of a novice it can cut around a 9.7 and in the hands of a pro it can get down to about a 9.2.

    Certainly quicker than any 'production' (as in street legal) bike according to Wikipedia, but not by a huge amount.

    I agree that 'sports' is the best category for it, but that is only because Turdme lacks a 'competition motorcycles' category, like they have for competition cars.

    Quick release sidecar... unplug NOS... would that make it a dual sport?
    Ps. It'd make a stunning demonstration lapper to take dignitaries around on. Especially if you were recording facials and sound when you hit the go gas.

    OK fine maybe not faster but definitely could give a run for the money vs a stock superbike without slick tyres, nitros, extended bars etc.

    Oh, and still able to ride home after the race.

    It's no small achievement to go under 10 seconds on any road bike. The big hyperbikes are easiest, but you've still gotta be on the ball.

    My old CT110 did it in under 9secs, and without NOS......... When I threw it off a cliff.
