The R1 has such an easy power delivery, that it makes going fast TOO easy. I had an SV1000....and it was pretty effortless too, but no where near as smooth as the R1.
The CBR600 is pretty smooth too, but it's not like you have to keep catching yourself from going licence losing speeds. I...
Again we go back to what is a reasonable speed limit? If you had a country road speed limit of 100 and a highway limit of 130.... then 50 over that is a bit more understandable for serious penalties. When you have a road that goes from 80 to 40 like I encountered yesterday (AND THERE WAS NO...
R1 - first ride.... I was at a stop sign.... started rolling on.... didn't think anything of it.... looked down and I was doing over 70kph in 1st and a ton of revs left. SAY WHAT?
No way man.... way too easy to go way too fast. Awesome bike.
I have an older CBR600..... I just wouldn't want...
:) No dude, I don't have it backwards.... I don't care that they were on bikes. If I'm on the road and anyone is driving in a careless manner, sure bust them. If I were on that road with those bikes, I would NOT have felt threatened. They were typically going fairly slow around cars, they...
killerkeith - Maybe that could be the case.... geez....regardless, vehicle impound for doing what those guys did seems unreasonable. You know part of me wishes they'd just stick a GPS limiter on everything, so that no one could speed. I mean if they really think it is safer (which I don't...
Helicopter pilot was saying something like see if you can get a 30 day suspension or something like that. Hard to make out from the audio.
And one more thing..... the pilot or guy calling things in just seemed to be guessing the speed.... it's not like he was saying... they were traveling...
Did you guys watch the video? Yes I know they were speeding.... usually when there was no one else around and they had very good visibility. The pass on the double yellow.... I think it was pretty clean, but hey, BC probably doesn't have the same solid line passing laws as we do. Dunno -...
I think this has been a bad summer for road fatalities everywhere in Ontario for all types of vehicles..... despite the OPPs best efforts to take all those racers off the road. Actually going by what they said a couple of summers ago, you'd think we'd have no accidents at all. However, it has...
OBLIVIOUS = driving with mouths OPEN
They are that easy to spot..... seriously, take a look next time.... it's like they are in a constant state of SURPIRSE! :D
I can't remember the colour... there are a ton of lambos I see down there on a regular basis. But basically it was at the lights on Lakeshore and George (Starbucks) and it revved and took off kinda quick and next thing you know popo is ripping after him. It was the same place the bikes were at...
Ride your own pace. If they are friends, they'll understand. Just know where the final destination is or have them wait up at certain spots along the way.
I know what you're talking about. I was indoors working and I heard a ton of revving. It didn't bother me much, but you sure will attract the wrong attention. BTW - saw a Lambo getting pulled over the other day in the same spot for something similar.
