For those that don't envisage having their licences for long. Very pretty.

I've seen an old Mini thats faster and I kid you not.
Ok it may have a rear mounted Cosworth Engine and 200bhp NOS, but it still does 0 - 60 in 2.67 :P

yes but going at that speed I would prefer to have something slightly more around me that a glorified fetish outift :P  :whistle:

But crashing at that speed its not really going to make any difference whats round you.

hmmm, disagree with you there, what do you have to absorb the force of the impact on a bike. niechivo...
in a car theres half a ton of metal and specially designed crumple zones yadda yadda to protect you, i know which i'd prefer to be honest, but each to their own  :narnar:

Thought we were talking about the Koeniqseqq in which case there is very little metal around you at all.

The thing is.. at that speed on a bike, if it hits something hard you get thrown off, you still have a chance as long as you don't hit anything (possible).  In a car, if it hits something hard it crumples to nothing with you inside it  :frusty:

(I like falling off bikes in my spare time as well as cutting fingers off)  :whistle:

Guess all I’ve got to look forward to, is cutting my fingers off.
