Anyway...

First pic is stock, then added a Yosh exhaust and snubbed the rear fender. Fun bike, but it's for sale now. Don't need the P-car and a bike, P-car is too much fun.
Let me be the first to say that getting your "eyes lasered" was an excellent decision, primarily for those anound you that had to look at those "coke bottles" everyday!



Of course, I am just "yanking your chain" and no malace is intended!

Lol!! Of course, no offense taken.
Yeah, I really did it not for the convenience, but because I didn't want to look so incredibly hideous!! Haa! Now I've got ALL the chicks just lined up around the corner waiting for their turn. They look at me, and are like "what Porsche? Oh, yeah, that yellow one. I didn't notice, I was lost in your eyes..." HAAAA!

Had a yellow SV650 for a first bike. Loved it, but a bit "buzzy" on longer rides. Had to get something easier on the hands.

My father has a '69 R50 that he bought new... I'll get it when he dies. Does that count?

I've had tons of bikes over the last several years. Raced on the Bonneville Salt Flats in '85 on a stock 1000cc Honda Interceptor 148.546 mph average over 2 runs. Roadraced GSXR Suzukis for 8 years. Still have a bunch of Harleys, a GSXR, YZR 50, MT125R factory Honda Roadracer and a Suzuki DR650.

Oh yeah, here is a picture of one our club member's bike after running on the salt flats (Hayabusa - the GPS is correct)

Must be KPH.

Seriously, that's freakin' fast. How much HP does a bike need to reach Veyron speeds?

No, it is MPH. It's not a stock Hayabusa.
