Car vs. Bike! (56k explosion)
I'm sure Roadstergal will like this (though lemming might not).

Thanks for that! Tangent - I luuuuv bike racers. They tend to be a) fit and b) nice. :smile:
It makes sense. The hp/weight difference on bikes vs. cars is just ludicrous, and to add to that, sport bike makers usually don't have to compromise on comfort to the same extent as sports car makers. I was talking to a friend about this the other day, because on the SV, more than any other bike I've had, guys in cars are always trying to race me - which is just silly. Even the SV, which is a bit of a dog of the sport bike world (more of a 'round town bike than a race bike) is silly-fast compared to four wheelers...
