      Man you really do hate Fords

      Hope you don't buy a Hayabusa........cause it's a Falcon too 8O

      I'd like to see what a 1965 Ford Falcon look like over there. If it's like anything like Mad Max, it's got to be sweet 8)

        rotf Hayabusa? Im happy with my GS750B, its the best, most reliable bike Ive ever owned, it just keeps on keeping on!

        The '65 ford falcon was a more square shaped vehicle, the mad max style was around the mid to late 70's style XA and XB "hardtop"

        if you want to look at the different models (shows a '64 XM, '66XR and '77 XC hardtop), you can go here:

            I was on my way into work one morning and a buddy of mine was beside me on his 2005 Harley 1450. We were side by side on a long uphill stretch, and he said we were going 110 MPH ( my bike only regesters 85 MPH ). I pulled away from him a minimum 1/4 mile and he told me he never let out of his little piggy.

              fast enough

              on my 79 850 i think the needle was around 120 but it was bouncing so much i couldn't tell. if it matters i also had my zx11 up to 170 but the 850 was a lot more brutal.

There are maybe 2 of them in my area, and I don't think they even move. I wanted to buy one recently,but I simply don't have anywhere to put more cars. Ah well, at least my girlfriend has good taste in cars and doesn't mind my obsession with them, though she does occasionaly give me crap about wanting to own every car I see =P~
                  I love those Falcons.
                  I have a little Maverick Run a best of 11.96 so far with a normally aspirated 302. Haven't been to the track this year since I have to drive two hours to the track and it's a bit pricey with the kind of mileage I get out of it.

                      How fast does a Kawi ZX-12 go?
                      I was chasing a buddie while he was on a ZX-12. He said he couldnt shake me and he was doing 200kph so thats about 125mph. Mind you I think that was as fast as HE could go. Not his bike!

                        Touched on 200km (125mph) just so I could say I had....

                        ...even though the bike seemed to have plenty left - I didnt lol...

                        even the highway roads are ordinary and the bike is old, worn and stock...

                        watchin the speedo to 200, all I could think of is... if sumthin breaks on this now I'm Pharked ....in the worst kinda way... especially since it was getting very dark and NO lights:shock:



                        no need for an enchore that I might not survive

                          I like fords (LIncon contimentals)and BTW i went 10 mph over the speed limit once. 75 mph. It was an exiting expierience being one with my machine. I was laying down on the bike with my feet on the rear pegs and my head protected by the small fairing.
                          Oh how dangerously i live.:shock:

                              All I can say is that my 83 1100E is faster than the 82's. It's beacasue of the black motor- I'm sure of that.

                                I was thinking of painting more of the motor on my T black for some cheap horsepower.
