Compared to a 2009 busa



Torque on the busa is impressive.

not a fan of nakeds nor the ducati maintenance schedule...

I am seriously considering the S1000RR, but being it's the first year bike, I don't know if the engine will grenade at 5,000 miles or not. Logically I should wait a few years.

Then again, I bought a 2004 Rx-8. And then a new CR diesel..

Straight line performance... the problem with bikes is that they have 2 wheels only, a disadvantage when braking and turning
I'd rock that bike though!

maybe, depends on the car it's racing. F1? No doubt.

On the other hand, it's a crapton more fun than driving a car around a corner. Kinda like going from AT to MT. More involved experience.

How about 300rwhp bmw?

I haven't been in a GTS, but I've been in the ZR1s and I wasn't impressed with the power...

I'm not sure about the bike being more fun, it may be for some but it may not for others
The only reason I would take my bike over my car is beacuse I can park it on the sidewalk!
But that's just me!
This BMW is an amazing piece of art just like the aprilia rsv 1000 factory and the other superbikes, not to mention the ducati or the mv agusta. I would look goofy driving said bikes as i come from a supermoto and now own a stupid naked beater but i have to admit that they are more than just bikes.
