    If ever there was a reason to ban a handful of monkey-spankers then this thread is it. Can we get a BMW owners Sub-forum where 528i can share his mis-spelt thoughts with anyone who cares to listen? I know lots of BMW drivers who are safe, considerate road users, but they wouldn't waste their time spoiling threads about motor bikes. And as for the rest of you bait takers...... :(

    I would like to add that despite being the fastest production bike, the 'busa is undoubtedly the ugliest thing on two wheels.

    I mean, once you commit yourself and twist that wrist, all you can do is hang on for dear life with every muscle fibre you have. Where do you find the force to counteract that pull and push your wrist against it?

    ( Iam actually serious ...would somebody please explain this to someone who just drives a sedate "chugg-chugg" chopper)

    Because on a sportsbike you don't hang on with your arms.
    For one the fairing mostly deflects the airflow around the rider - so you're not sitting up like a ships sail. The higher seat, lower handlebars, higher and further back pegs - all mean that you're leaning forward with your weight forward - so your butt and legs can do most of the work when accelerating.
    The arms do take a bit more stress under deceleration but this can be reduced greatly by knees on the tank, or your nuts on the tank if your foot happens to slip off the peg :eek:

    300kph plus on a public road? Those f*cking scumbags belong in prison.

    Yeah. Mad, but not mad as the guys who do the TT race . Bike cams of that are just incredible.

    528i, you got that one as well? The R'dam to A'dam albeit in amazingly light traffic for 8pm was surreal :eek:
