What do you drive?


Recommended Posts

The waiting list is several months (years?) long.....

Yes, but I've been first on my dealer's waiting list for a long time now. The dealership owner of course is putting himself before all his customers, so, technically, I am second. However, his is already in the production process and mine should be there soon (estimated production week in mid-April). Of course, until I have an actual date in my hands, which I am expecting this week or next, only time will tell.

Very nice bike you have there abysal. (Y) Im thinking of getting either an R6 or a CBR600 in the near future.

Thanks dude.

I really fell for the styling for the R6. The CBR is a better street bike, has more torque throughout the mid range. Personally I ride pretty slow and don't race , so the R6 has plenty power in low to mid range for me. On the track though, I hear the R6 is a beast, maybe one day with more experience I'll unleash it :)

I also hear the CBR600 is more comfortable as well, you sit a little more up right so your neck and wrists won't ache as much.

Either way you can't go wrong; CBR600 or R6.

Between the two I preferred riding the R6 on the street: I found brake feel to be a little nicer and it felt more stable in corners (talking about '07 models). A friend of mine, and much better rider, used to race a CBR and ride an R6 until a pair of unfortunate accidents: one involving an illegal left turn by a minivan and the other involving racing slicks on a city road at 6 AM and -1 degree weather.

Middle-weight sport bikes are so good these days that it really doesn't matter what you're on.

A set of adjustable risers and rear sets fixes the seating position for just about any bike.

For what it's worth: the most comfortable sport-bike I've been on is Triumph Daytona 675. Pulls like real hard on the track, feels substantially lighter than it is, and the engine sounds incredible. To me it also feels much more narrow than other bikes which really gives you a sense of confidence. If I were going to buy a new 600-class sport bike I think that'd be the one I'd go with and I encourage everybody to try one.

To stay on topic: here's a crappy cell-phone shot from the garage last summer.

I haven't got any recent pictures of my bike and it's not terribly pretty: but it's fast. I should dig out my SLR and get some "before shots" for this season.

Hoping to get the final performance modifications done this year so I can get paint done this winter.

And I thought I posted mine in this thread :blink:

1998 Honda Civic Si/US Ex 5speed

Everything is stock, except the side mirrors. It has a little over 153,000km now which is very low for a 6th gen so this car should last quite a while. The only issue at the moment is the body. It's in great shape for a 11 year old car that has never been rustproofed but I'm taking care of small rust spots that are slowly appearing one by one.

Yeah I know, the car is in desperate need of rims :rofl: But I won't spend money for aesthetic mods.

Hey all,

I mostly read only, but I just got my new car a week ago and thought I'd post. I bought a Graphite Lancer ES CVT '09. Still getting used to how it drives...it feels way bigger than the old Lancer '06.

these pics I got from websites and are the ones I liked the most...I'll post pics of my own unit once I wash it...there was a storm today.

    • The level of stupidity at Google and Microsoft is beyond belief. All they are doing by killing this is forcing people to jump over to Firefox and ditch them all together, therefore giving Firefox the market boost it needs to finally crush them all in the end.
