More fun?

The contact patch for my sled was 13 inches wide and 137 inch long with carbide studded track. A motorcycle does not even come close for traction. The sled weighs about the same and has way more horsepower. There is no shifting. I can tell you that if you think your 600 is fast from 0 to 90 you need more exposure to fast things. Just about every liter bike will do 100+ in 1st gear. Your 600 will not hang with a liter bike. Take a ZX-10 with traction control, launch control and wheelie control. Twist the throttle to about 13,000 rpm’s and drop the clutch. Then know the difference. Not here to argue, just know from five decades of riding motorcycles.

. You will not have to do much looking on google or YouTube to find out the truth.

Over the years of riding, meaning well over 150,000 miles on liter bikes, every 600 cc rider thinks they have a fast bike until they actually spend some time on a liter bike.

I have a ton of seat time on litre bikes, and would race my friends bikes who had been riding for decades. None of them could beat the 600 to 90mph. The litre bikes you need to modulate the throttle to keep the bike from lifting, on the 600 you just pin it.

how can you accelerate faster than a weightless front tire with the bike still at an 89-90 degree angle, that’s the fastest physics will allow. Only way is a longer bike or extended swingarm like a busa or zx14.

also I’ll do a little more research on the snowmobile vs bike, but come on with that bike running running the 1/8th in 8 seconds @ 100mph

i fully realize a 600 being one of the quickest bikes to 90mph defies everything on the internet and there are so many 600 owning squids that think they are the fastest things on the planet, that is not me, I can promise. I fully understand what a rolling race between a gsxr 1000 vs a gsxr 600 would look like. It’s not even close.

You have slow friends.

You have slow friends.

You must not be aware that there are stock liter bikes running low nine second high eight second 1/4 times at 150 mph.

I am fully aware of that! And the gsxr 600 will do high 9’s with a pro rider, with most getting into the mid/high 10’s.

it’s just 0-90 I’m talking about.The litres will murder a 600 beyond that.

1/8 mile at 96 mph 8 seconds. Congratulations your 600 is as fast as a touring bike with my fat ass on it.

What are you talking about, I never ran my 600 down the 1/8th?

if I did it would be a helluva faster than that. My new 4xe runs an 8.9 lol.

Jeeps.

I can take top and doors off and feel the fresh air and just cruise around town on a nice day. But best of all, I can go to the middle of nowhere and challenge myself and my Jeep on an old gold mine road or something. Then get back home safe.

I don't care for speed, so there goes the sports cars. A motorcycle could be fun but I do plenty of dangerous things in my life already, adding this to the list would be asking for trouble. I love the feeling of coming down a windy trail on a mountain bike, or through a forest on my backcountry skiis. I guess I am more a fan of dirt than pavement.

Just curious what you all think is more fun to own a Jeep, Muscle car/Sports car or Motorcycle? I feel like these are all toy vehicles but with the Jeep being the most practical especially for Winter driving.

Obviously answer if you've owned all of these before.

I’m a family guy and can’t take the whole family out on a motorcycle or most muscle cars. However, I daydream about squeezing the fam (5) into a 67 Chevy II.

This is a jeep forum... I wonder what will be the top score in the survey? Hmmmm... I have never owned a motorcycle but I've always wanted one. I love both the sports car and the jeep for different reasons, which is why I ended up with both in my garage.
