My 11 year old BMW 525 with almost 200 bhp and 4WD consumes less fuel than any of the listed cars! With an engine optimised for ethanol, as opposed to just make the smallest possible change to make it run OK on E85, makers could take advantage of the higher octane of alcohol. Compression could be raised and ignition advanced to get more power from the same amount of fuel. 68313[/snapback] I totally agree I wish they would make things better I read there is a Saab that gets the same milage on E85 as Gas but didn't say which one. I drive a 6 year old Acura 2.3cl and get 30mpg(sad only sprox 6mpg worse than the bike) so I'm very against american cars right now my next car will either be a subaru, toyota or another honda of some kind. I just also am an avid fan of "pen & tellers: BullSh*t" and as things are setup right now in the united states E85 is more wasteful than helpful. I'd jump straight to driving fuel cell or E85 or even E10 if I could find it and things worked better. Another point I saw, if the poorest think money makes the world go round then by are the rich the biggest tightwads? the man who owns the company I work for has at least 100 million in the bank he is wearing the same clothes for the last 10 years drives a 7 year old buick and never buys or gets anything unless its more than half off or free. I know of and have heard of others like this only the RICH truly think money makes the world go round.

I wonder why wenkles didn't catch on maybe because they have no soul? I dunno I'm not very interested to venture outside the veetwins to not have "any" cylinders. the norton looked nice enough they had the right idea to hide the monstrosity under plastic.

I dunno I might like the Katana better if it had a nicer name, and they need to change the Ninja name sometime I just dont think it fits we had a thread for that somewhere. I personally like both the Norge and the breva I like thje breva better but I like the Griso most of all. If it ever gets produced is another matter, and then brought to america yet another. *thhhtpt ....roll....... Ah snake eyes*

whats a UJ? But I do know I've driven a dump truck and there is no shifting those without a clutch the one I Was in had 4 gears and 3 ranges, it was Crazy! so is that a 12 speed?

They did a report on it here in the news because it is government funded and the only reason E85 is cheaper is because it is subsidized by the government I know about the mideast not being a big deal locally the US gets most of its oil from Canada/South america and itself. But it actually takes more energy to produce E85 than any benefits you reap from it. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/byfueltype.htm 2006 Flexible Fueled Vehicles Chevrolet Monte Carlo 6 cyl, 3.5 L, Auto(4), Gas MPG 21 31 $1380 Pollution 7.6 E85 MPG 16 24 $1578 Pollution 5.6 Chevrolet Impala 6 cyl, 3.5 L, Auto(4), Gas 21 31 $1439 7.8 NA E85 16 23 $1578 5.6 Chrysler Sebring 4 Door 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Auto(4), Gas 21 28 $1439 8.1 E85 15 20 $1764 6.0 Chrysler Sebring 4 Door 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Auto(4), Gas 21 28 $1439 8.1 E85 15 20 $1764 6.0 Chrysler Sebring Convertible 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Gas 21 28 $1439 8.1 E85 15 20 $1764 6.0 Chrysler Sebring Convertible 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Auto(4), Gas 21 28 $1439 8.1 E85 15 20 $1764 6.0 Dodge Stratus 4 Door 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Auto(4), Gas 21 28 $1439 8.1 E85 15 20 $1764 6.0 Dodge Stratus 4 Door 6 cyl, 2.7 L, Auto(4), Gas 21 28 $1439 8.1 E85 15 20 $1764 6.0 Ford Taurus 6 cyl, 3 L, Auto(4), Gas 19 27 $1570 8.5 NA E85 15 20 $1764 6.2 Dodge Caravan 2WD 6 cyl, 3.3 L, Auto(4), Gas 19 26 $1642 8.6 E85 13 17 $2142 7.2 Ford Crown Victoria 8 cyl, 4.6 L, Auto(4), Gas 17 25 $1725 9.6 E85 12 18 $2142 7.2 Mercury Grand Marquis 8 cyl, 4.6 L, Auto(4), Gas 17 25 $1725 9.6 E85 12 18 $2142 7.2 Lincoln Town Car 8 cyl, 4.6 L, Gasoline or E85 Gas 17 25 $1725 9.6 E85 12 18 $2142 7.2 *I deleted a bunch they go on and on* * Based on 45% highway driving, 55% city driving, 15000 annual miles and the price of fuel used by the vehicle.

(U.S. Department of Energy, GREET Model, Argonne National Laboratory) I had seen a report that stated without funding E85 is more expensive to produce than Petrol. I'm fine with helping the enviroment and thats really all its doing because you have to buy much more E85 over a year than you do Gasoline. I just wish there was yet a better alternative personally. Make an engine to run off of straight ethanol that would be nice

My insurance company has no knowledge or anything on the entire new guzzi lines my bike is registered as a ,somewhat rare why would they know about it but not a V11?, 1100 Qouta, and I pay pennies on the dollar

Thats in another thread somewhere, and it really doesn't look too hard as it looks much to dangerous. I mean I'm sure I could do it with the right bike and complete lack of personal safety, I don't care how good of a rider you are you can't see the future to know if a blonde doing her makeup will swerve at the last moment and take you out. be fun to do something like that on a track, ... maybe.

Scura Gang Never under estimate the power of the Scuras But I have a Sport and never ride in the path of the dark side although I sometimes wish I had a tenni or a Rossa corsa

so why don't they put that so some use and go back to what they were really good at make a throw back, like ducati did, I'd probably buy one if the price was right. anyway its be super tits.

Jesus Titty F****** christ. that thing is soo awesome I bet it would run forever be slow as hell starting out and sound like a lawn mower and drink far too much gas. But talk about the posibilities add a turbo or two? sweeet.

I love mine and its almost done, almost I've also done more since this pic but she's in the shed with the below freezing and all.

did he just censor himself for Honda, and Wanker? makes me think of Wenkle why didn't they ever put one of those in a bike? Oh and the only trouble I've had is in the RC community and I subscribe to the Ebay philosophy that if its bigger than a breadbox its not worth dealing with. Unless you can pick it up. thats the only exception.

I say its in there sideways and thats the ways I likes it.

Paddle Shifters for me please. Just as Soon as they call my lottery numbers. then I'll show you all.

They have E85 here and its kind of a crock, Most vehicles run like crap on it unless properly set-up for it AND even when they are they don't get as good of performance. At least on the larger engines. A friend of mine pulled a boat and the milage was so bad he could have just used normal gas for the same money. Now if you have a good mileage commuter I wouldn't think it would hurt as bad. But Also the E85 I've seen is only about 20cents Cheaper than straight Petrol. And if you have a small vehicle you save what? $2 at most? and a large vehicle with the worse milage maybe save $1? I think they need yet another better alternative to remove the dependancy on the mideast. I want Hydro cars just find a way to make them so they aren't rolling hydro bombs. They have them for bikes but it looks like a Cannondale that does 0-55top speed in 12.1 sec makes less noise than a computer and goes 100mi on a single "tank" I want one soooo bad I wonder if its good enough for a BMX track I'm much to lazy to pedal.

I'll get you a quiz point Belfast I'll just put up a pic of some honda or something and you guess it first, what time is good for you or someone else will get it?

Ancient Chinese penis enlarger?

Or you can do what I did and have a buddy hold the tank off to the side and then do what you need to. Make sure the tank is almost empty and he has enough stamina if its gonna be a long job "you want the job done fast, or you want it done right?

dam straight, But I'd like to see how the New Zo6 stacks up. its like an affordable Mclaren.

as in (insert ethnic slur here)-rigging ?

how do you think these bad boys handle?

I think the Griso is just a myth. like the dodge tomahawk or the maserati birdcage no one actually gets to own one

I want this one SOO much more doode.

but at that price its well under the original sticker maybe not enough if he thrashed it around and still really high since the bike has no real well ..... anything other than recreational track day use. I'd love a street version of that bike it has one helluva look to her.

Why do european sirens all go uhhh-ahhh- uhhhh-ahhh that is sooooo annoying It bust really work I'd pull over to so they'd shut the damn thing off. Oh and how hard would it be to keep up with that Z3 on anything bigger than a moped I mean its quick but bikes can almost always take the better line or the tighter turn or the smaller squeeze, Whats he riding anyway honda?
