so would you rather big lumps of metal stuck to the bike like on car? not practical on the tank etc or on the fearing. Brakes are painted metal letters on the callipers so would still say brembo just in silver. The suspension and wheels could be removed but came as standard on the bike

A road going car with 1000bhp was never going to be slow  If anything that just shows the immense speeds the RR is capable of. Bearing in mind one can be had for much less than five figures, it is mind boggling how fast it is.
It's a supersport aswell which is about 1200bhp  Impressive from the bike. Think i'd rather crash the veyron than fall off the bike though

What sort of man gets told by his bird he can't have a bike? I would imagine the same type that hands over his wage and gets given an allowance.
The type that has a bird that earns her own wage, cooks my tea and sucks my dick willingly.
No point stressing her out I do enough risky sports without gettin on a bike for some dickhead to put me back on hospital

I'm not allowed one for safety reasons. I've got a toddler and a week old baby and I am weak willed when it comes to power and noise. I'd be dead in a fortnight.

Bullshit are they too dangerous. Token saying for people who have never ridden a bike. I felt the same, the honest answer is the first I rode it, I probably did 90 max and it scared the shit out of me. You don't just hop on and wring its neck! However cool it looks to say you couldn't be trusted etc etc.

Don't really go together. Whenever I've spoken to non bikers, I always get the same remark 'if I had one I'd kill myself, blah blah'. That's bullshit.

I've ridden motorbikes since I was ten but I've ridden very little on the road. When I had my accident it wasn't my fault and I was extremely lucky not to have been killed. Truth is I spent a night in hospital after some chest x rays and hobbled out the next afternoon, after a week in bed I was almost normal again, I was doing small rides on a courtesy bike.
Point I'm making is this. it doesn't matter how careful you are, they're dangerous. I say this because you can ride as defensively as you like some fucker will always cut you up, pull out, not see you.. And bang your dead or maimed.
I think I'm asking for trouble getting a road bike because I would kill myself, I'm not saying that because I'm trying to be hard. I'm saying it because I've ridden enough bikes if you went out and bought me a half decent powerful bike first thing I'm doing is putting the front wheel in the air, second thing am takin it up the m58 to try and max it.

Who are you to tell us how we would behave on a bike?  You've just said you took it to 90mph the first time you rode it, yet bikes aren't dangerous? That is insta death if anything went wrong. Spare your preachy bullshit for someone else.

So if John was going 60mph, and someone pulled out on him, there's not a good chance he'd die? I should have read the rest of your replies before I wrote the above, as I would have just ignored it for you being a jumped up clown.

Someone pulling out on you is different to trying to give it the big one with 'couldn't trust myself.'. The truth is probably you ain't ballsy enough to get on one in the first place. Not saying they aren't dangerous, just fed of always getiting the same old bullshit of people trying too hard.

Nice. Looks well in white. Plans?
My next job is to do away with the exhaust valve/flap thing. It's far too quiet. That will have to do till I can spank 550quid on a yoshi can
