My bike and Bandits I think of as Vectras.

2t race reps as I think of as chavved to death Novas.

GS's as Volvo 850's.

Thundercat = 309 GTI. Just as fast, nearly as capable but nowhere near as popular as its peers of the time.

Nah, Hayabusa's more like a Lotus Carlton, or some other suped up family car.

As has already been said: H2R = Veyron

Yamaha R6 = Honda civic type R?

Not sure what car I'd pair my KMX 125 with?
Or what bike would be the equivalent of my Rover 220 coupe? It would need to handle like a pig as std and prefer wheelspin to forward motion?

BMW = something you use to gleefully trundle around the countryside obliviously unaware of other motorists, whilst carrying an unfathomable amount of luggage.

Citroen caravanette = as above.

An old (in both senses of the word) land lord and his codger mates are my experience of those particular BMW'S and a mate and his family for the Citroen. They owned a campsite in France and it must have rubbed off on them!

Everything is subjective dude. For example, the Hayabusa to me is more of an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Nearly hit 200mph but comfortable too. Though maybe not affordable....hmmm, that didn't work....

It's interesting that
BMW bike ≠ BMW car, (BMW car is sportier than BMW bike)
Suzuki bike ≠ Suzuki car (Suzuki bike is sportier than Suzuki car).

Sprint 1050 = BMW 3 series 'M Sport' coupe. Trying to be practical, it's not. Trying to be sporty, it's not. Trying to be comfortable, it's not. Should have bought a tourer = should have bought the SE Touring and should have bought a sportsbike = should have bought a proper M.

In light of the above ER5 I'd go GPZ500 = a home tuned Renault turbo diesel. Rattly, unrefined, constantly squeaky and loose suspension, brakes that don't match performance, a narrow power band but goes a bit for what it is as long as you're in the right gear.

I want yours and Piercee's drugs tbh! Laughing

I'd be slightly pissed off to have a decent condition GPZ500S compared to a Renault Diesel car.

Been pondering this for my own bike for a while now...happy to hear other suggestions though.

Kawasaki Z1000 Gen 1 = Probably one of the new Camaro's or something.
