    It's a 600. A 1k is too much for all the twistys around here. You'd never get out of 3rd in some of the roads here. It's made the trek up to Laguna Seca two years in a row for MotoGP. Buells are great nekkid bikes.



    Didn't know there were restrictions on HP. Learn something every day :D

    The maximum recommended HP is published by the manufacturer, it's based on the weight and balance of the boats hull and material in the transom, basically if you take my boat for instance, put a 150hp motor on the back it'd sink under the weight of the motor alone since the weight on the back would cause water to just flow into the bilge and fill the boat, kind of weird since our tanks we deal with pumps that move massive amounts of water, the 2 pumps in my boat are only 280gph each

    Bummer. Sorry to here that.

    Right now is the best time for years to get a new car if you can afford it. Demand is so low that they are practically giving them away (I got mine for a shade over half price and its only a year old and in pristine condition).

    I wish my Lexus dealer agreed. I want to trade my IS350 for an ISF... they're not budging. So I'm not dealing.
