S2000 is a BOAT, and the RX-8 handles like an SUV...
 

And you wanna know why I say that?

Cuz.. although I own an MY02 S2000 and an RX-8... 2 days ago, I bought myself a new toy:

A 2004 Silver Yamaha R1 Litre Superbike.

Its been a few years since I owned a bike (my last was a GSXR-750R)... I had been riding around on it for the last 2 days... then hopped in my car(s).

I was like.. Where's the power and handling!!???

Anyway, just having a blast with the new toy (and yes, I was kidding about the handling of the cars).

p.s. For those that are curious:

998cc
425lbs wet
160-165 RWHP

1/4 mile 9.8-9.93 seconds stock @ 147ish MPH.

the honda actually has a rotory engine.
very good taste, glad you went with yamaha, better becareful though, 1000cc is a lotta power to handle

:confused: :confused:

hahaha what the hell is he talking about? Honda?

lol... I dunno... The Honda is a 2.0L (well, the '02 is) 4 cylinder N/A motor.

Anyway, ya.. its not my first bike, and I respect the power... immensly.

ARRRRR Bro, I miss my R1 :(

I'd disagree with the handling complaints. When my wife had an S2000 I had a Honda 954RR. Yes the 954 had quicker acceleration and was very flickable but the S2000 is no slouch either. At 35 mph I could complete a lane change in less than a second. That's starting from driving straight in one lane to driving straight in the other. No squealing tires or other hysterics. As my passenger who was timing said, "You would roll a normal car if you did that."

At that speed, I'd like to see anyone on a bike go from upright in the middle of one lane to upright in the middle of another in one second. :D

new honda CBR 1000RR = rotary engined bike, just mentioned it because this is an rx8 forum, and because its a direct competitor of the R1

Um, last time I checked the 1000RR was an inline 4... :confused:

Please provide a link to backup your statement.

i was wrong, its rotary damper, thanx for correcting me, ive been misinformed since april about this
