DontHate,
0.1, about 2500 lbs., and at least $150k... If you put that $150k into a Duck, I'll bet the farm that it'll be no contest.


DMP,
We're good...didn't realize how much of a joker you are. Now, I know...

I'm flattered by your interest, but I can't be seen with a Lancer owner.

Dude, it's not a "Lancer"...it's a "Lancer, Evo."

Totally different car. Just look at 'em, you see:

There was a hater on here a few days ago extolling the virtues of his Honda Goldwing in corners as opposed to an RX-8. That bike is big enough that it has a reverse gear! It isn't a canyon carver by any stretch of the imagination.

A crotch rocket needs a good rider to fully see it's potential. Then again so does a car. The difference is that an average Joe could get a car to it's limits much sooner than they could a motorcycle. I can drive a car just fine but I couldn't ride a bike terribly quick around corners. I'm not used to them. A crotch rocket is basically a streetable 2 wheeled F1 car as far as I'm concerned. It's not too fair comparing them to cars in any way. They are marvels of handing though.

Yeah, and you did well getting rid of him. Applause!

Freddie Spencer rode a Goldwing at his racing school for the bikes's launch. He out rode journalists on school race bikes...to your point, it's all about the caliber of rider.

What? I thought eveybody here loves a good "ribbing?" Is it not customary to "chime-in" at the most opportune moment?

It's simple mathematics:

None of these are the same car either. There's a body kit and some possibly engine work. I guarantee the badge on the back is different on each too! We have a Civic, and Civic Revolution Type S, and a Civic Revolution QWERTY-R. Now if they came from the factory like this, THEN they'd be different cars worthy of a new name (drop the Civic) and not to be compared with each other as that is blashpemous! At least that's what the standard is supposed to be or so we've been told!

Then I'll just refer to them by their riders. Squids or Squiddies. That is my normal nomenclature for all "sport bike" riders.

Bike vs. car threads are funny. Why even debate it. Bike's faster 95% of the time. Bike guys get oddly defensive in these types of threads.

C'mon now Texas...Squids are only riders who don't wear gear, at least that's how it is up here...

I've seen that too. It is kind of sad. Have to agree with you on that.

That is why I don't ride with idiots like that. I have seen wrecks were people with no ability ride way beyond there ability. A lot of times they take someone with them. Last Fall in Deals Gap a squid took my line away. He passed me in a corner and I was not expecting it. I didn't even know he was behind me. I was taking it easy because there were a lot of blind corners with leaves on the road. Later that day an idiot took out another rider trying to show off.
