my new ride ...and my old but newer ride.

[slade]

1997 suzuki GSXR 600. i picked it up for $2500, dropped in a new battery, and it runs great. The ignition is a bit iffy, so it might need to be repaired or replaced soon.

should i fill it up with regular, or premium? i think the compression ratio is in the range of vehicles that run on premium. also, about what mileage can expect? I already took it out up and down my street, but I have to wait a week or so before I get the title and can insure/register it.



unfortunately, because of this, i can't ride my bike and use the gas efficiency excuse

[lazebum]

yea you should use premium, and it should get above 40mpg, dunno what youll get due to miles and wear. also good buy!!!!

[slade]

yeah, as long as theres nothing hidden thats wrong with it, its a pretty good deal. a few deals slipped through my fingers before, so i basically called the guy and said i'd take it.

LOL! Love the NOS sticker

No but you can use the excues that this will allow you to arrive home earlier, and therefore have time to do X. (you dont really have to do X )

ouch, burn.

a while ago a friend in a cadillac parked next to me at school and revved his engine, and was like, can your fancy prius do that?

/he totally just did it to show off for the girl in his passenger seat.

Did you rev it, so it sounded like a hampster spinning the wheel faster?

*sniff* i couldnt get the engine to rev at all

actually, hybrids aren't all that underpowered. they're more powerful than most economical automatic ICE cars.

my thought exactly, nice bike..

Awesome bike! I gotta get me one someday, but I'm too scared to drive one.

Here's my sled, been modding it up!

Congrats on the bike ride carfull and have fun. Now dont forget to wave to other riders

Rember bikes are idioit proof act like and idiot and the bike WILL prove it.

And if you dont mind me asking WHY would you get a hybrid????? The Small diesels get just as good real world milage and is nearly as enviro freidly contray to beliefe. Their also cheaper to buy and own and produce MUTCH more usable power. For heat and a/c to work on the hybrids the engeins need to run anyways defeeting the purpose of the hybrid anyways so how mutch of the year can you do without either???

Hybrids can work but not in their present form. First off get rid of the gas engein and replace it with a even smaller Diesel (diesels are MUTCH more efficant). Second get rid of the engein being a driveing factor and hook it SOLY to a generator to charge the battery. Then take the SINGLE electric motor and drive it threw a transmishion as to a conventional car. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENCE TO HAVE TWO DRIVE SYSTEMS. and if you think it cant work its been working on trains for a VERY LONG TIME. Trains are hybrids the engeins have no conection to the drive whats so ever.

But even doing this is expensive and a small diesel is still gona be the most cost effective option. But im a diesel mehcanic for a living so i am a bit biased.

IM also a diesel car owner (have had three diesels in total two VWs and a Ford pickup)
Heres the car averages 50mpg (5 mpg better than my bike)
