I'd be so worried about just falling over doing that.

Watch MotoGP.

If you go fast enough, you wont fall.

I kind of want a MY15 R3, but that's $5K CAD that could go into buying my WRX hatch

 

*drools*

^^ supercharged with 326bhp :333

[Real_PhillBert]

I also need this ;-;

 

*Snip*

 

Do it!!

 

A few friends and I used to have knee dragging competitions with a Ninja 250

You and your big bikes...

Pffffft the Grom is where it's at, yo!

 

 

Unfortunately I'm among those who may struggle with a 300cc bike because, um, weight.

It's easier said than done...

 

1. My father, who rides a '89 Suzuki GSX1100F, is afraid to get me a 125cc bike, because shit happens, to noobs and dickheads.

2. I still need to be 16yo, which I will in about a month (hype )

3. Get my license, which I will refuse to, if my father doesn't want me riding a bike.

      That's the deal I'm going to make with him :lol:

 

FML ._.

It is, but it's also called the Grom in the states.

Im Canadian Unfortunately, we usually get the same models with the exception of a few special editions here and there.

 

The BR-Z in Canada got a special 200 unit Aozora Edition (STI wheels + skirts) whereas the US got essentially the same package, but 1,000 units and called the Series.Blue. (Aozora means blue sky)

[JoaoPRSousa]

Bruh

 

I have one of those

 

It stopped working a few years ago  :angry:

How does it handle on the highway? I want one for my daily commute to college...

Chrysler is dropping the Hemi engines from the SRT cars, in favor of turbocharged I4 and V6's.

I understand the reasoning, but I dont think they will sell as well as long as the competitors are still using large displacement V8's. 

Why not just use a smaller displacement V8..? Turbo'd i4s and v6s don't make nearly the same sound which HEMI is known for. RIP HEMI.

 

Watch MotoGP.

Doesn't change the fact that it'd scare me.

one question: WHY. Honestly i see no point bc their competitors are still using V8s.

Highway? I only rode it in the driveway :lol:

FTFY

I thought USA was renamed South Canada a while back (except Alaska which was renamed Canada a bit to the left)...

Welp.. might still be fun to ride it around uni when going from building to building...

All in the name of fuel economy. Same reason why Merc dropped the V12's from the S series. 

 

However I agree, as long as the Mustang and Camaro are still using V8's, it will struggle to sell in sustainable numbers.

Wait, Merc dropped V12s from the S series? How long ago? now i really lost interest in an S class.

Shit sorry, they dropped the V12 in the SL's. Not the S's. My bad.

The W22x S-Class AMGs still carry the V12, and the S600 Maybach does as well.

 

 

Edit: Pfffft SL

The new version has a V8 Biturbo. I cri. <- The S63, because the S65 still has the V12

 

Shit sorry, they dropped the V12 in the SL's. Not the S's. My bad.
