I loved some of the old yanks TG....i used to have a road runner!....it did alf go too...punctured two tyres at the Pod doin a massive burn out in the car park.....(used to take spare wheels with me!..if fact quite alot of us did just to have a bit of fun)....one year at Run What You Brung.....i took a Suzuki Gt750 (water bottle) up there.. my mates suggested i lit the back wheel up..of course i obliged and while doin so sprayed loads of rubber over the interior in the open back of a custom van!......needless to say mates an myself quickly found ourselves another place to spectate!..

Ahhh Santa Pod - best track in Britain

Also done the Ramsey Sprint a couple of times (only 200m or so), the VF has a nice low first gear compared to the modern (its 20 years old) bikes, so it can often show them a thing or two.

Getting it just right (front wheel a couple of inches off the deck for the first two gears and 100m), takes time to get just right. 0-60Mph in a shade under 3 seconds, 0-100 is about 4.3, and a quarter comes up in 11 seconds dead.

That's pretty quick hopper.......although i love me cars as well...nothing!... Even a Ferrari is ever gonna touch a bike 0-100!....and thats why i love em too!

Good nippy machine, but don't like the clumbersome hard top add-on which takes two people to fit. Soft top works a treat in decent weather though
Mind you, it does look better with hard top fitted, and it's the only option for this weather!

Sweet little number what size engine has she?

[F1Mike]

2.0l V-Tech but it has more go than you'd expect. The 240bhp is decent enough. doing 90 in a 40 zone can be quite touch&go, but it's got good brakes.

It's a pity it isn't actually mine though It's a collegue's, but I've had a few lifts in it, and I'm definately getting one of these one day
Heck, I haven't even got a license yet

[waverider]

Aaaahh the cookie crumbles lol......still i would put in front of an audi TT...it has to be faster!

[F1Mike]

I was going to leave it a few more days, but I'm one of those honest folk who can't stand it even if it's for good fun

[waverider]

Dont leave it too late to get your licence m8...the longer you leave it the more the roads are being filled up!
