His bike is also an 09'. He's thinking of getting the Triumph Scrambler though.  |
No worries, there is so much different terminology for bikes. I've only heard "racing bars" for mtn and ol skool bmx bikes.
Nice choice with a Scrambler!! Does he plan to turn it into a Cafe racer?

With the downed economy, I've seen a lot of good deals on motos. Unfortunately, a few local motorcycle dealerships closed and one major motorcycle racing club shut down (WSMC).

In the end though, most sports cars, given enough ground, would catch most bikes. Even the most powerful ones. Due to the incredible power to weight ratios on most, if not all, bikes bikes have the advantage in acceleration, but bikes can handle only so much power because after awhile it just can't put the power down.

That's one thing I've never understood is the whole car vs motorcycle comparisons. They are 2 completely different variables and will never have an even matchup. There is a lot more involvement to not only ride a moto but to ride a moto fast.
