LOL!
I'm playing the lottery on saterday.
Id'e love one of them, the trouble is, I think you have to win the lottery again in order to pay for the insurance.

Looking at the back seat, unless you held on tight I think you slip off the back.

Easily. First bit of pavement with bollards on.

Yes. It's both faster and narrower.

I suspect the occasional souped up scooby etc is generally faster, even if gearing limited.

Oh and this bloke managed a pretty respectable speed while out for a drive in his Vectra; I presume he had a calibrated speedo too: https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/4559173.stm .


Also, why would you want the silly turbine bike? You'll sound cooler, but it's hardly got the looks nor the agility you might want.
2011 ZX10 for me; stick a turbo and a slightly extended swingarm with bigger gearing if you really want to go silly-fast.

Eh? This is Lotus' 2+2 mid engined coupe; aimed at the Porsche Cayman (well, they'd like to think 911 too) kinda market.

Lotus did work on the Tesla Volt and apparently have their own version on the way.

A 57bhp CB500 does it in less!

I was under the impression Essex Police have using Imprezas for years (Police Interceptors, anyone?) and was also under the impression the Impreza was 4.5s 0-60.

They also use it on the motorway, they should have gone for a more comfortable car but just as quick Razz Motorways are about top speeds.

That thing is designed for twisty roads ffs! Laughing

I bet it sounds mean!
I can imagine the Y2K sounding like 10 bulls farting at the same time.

I'm guessing that you've never actually heard a turbine before, then?

I've seen Police Camera Action. As soon as things get a bit hairy they have to back off "in case someone gets hurt". The guy may as well have an Astra diesel.

If you're brave enough you could lose any panda car on a 500. It's when they get the copper chopper out that you can't shake them off.

Depending on what I am riding, I don't have to stick to roads or even paths. Wink
