How about a lap with a pro rider around laguna seca or COTA? I mean it still has a very impressive power to weight ratio, correct? What if the electronics were turned off on the other bikes?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How does an ‘06 Desmo compare to a top of the line bike like an new aprilia or 1299 on a track in 2016. Is the ride much different? Have there been large/noticeable advances?

Yeah, I wish I could remember what article it was, must have been related to the plates. Guy said he was stopped at a traffic light, and someone rear ended him while he was stationary, with a 3 digit plate. He said the cops came and were really nervous, and asked him why he hit the other person wink wink nudge nudge,…

I actually think this makes perfect sense. It’s apparently a fairly liquid asset that will probably not lose value in the short term, and it signifies to people exactly what the people buying it want it to. Someone here posted a story about how big a deal it was when someone with a 3 digit plate crashed into his car…

oooo so edgy. easy there, dum dum

It really needs another 40 ftlbs of torque and a lower powerband more than it needs more absolute HP. Also doesn’t help that the rear end is so friggen tall, like…

Formula 1 uses pump gas

Don’t they have the oldest airframes and like the highest failure rate or highest rate of pilot death in the military?

I was surprised by the exclusion of silence of the lambs

interesting

“she did a helluva job for NY”

No, only because e39 M5 exists

you can keep dividing

Step 1: be attractive

Huh! Did not know!

Totally, I bought this car for $4500 in great condition with 125k miles on it.... in 2009. His asking price is crazy. S4s seem to make k03s last about 80-100k miles, My brother in law has one with 200k on the originals, but it’s a 2001.5, so maybe those coolant and oil line upgrades helped, he also drives like hes…
