Supercharger, header and what ever else you don't have, SC because it's lower end power (makes up for what our cars lack) and more reliable than Turbo. ~* Brotherhood Of Eternal Sleep *~ - Nocturnal Supremacy -

A bike is faster than most every car.. complete no brainer. ~* Brotherhood Of Eternal Sleep *~ - Nocturnal Supremacy -

I drove all kinds but those are the ones I owned.. if you're gonna get a bike make sure you get a nice one otherwise it's just a waste of money but hey I dunno how the insurance is overthere.. and the roads.. wich I personally think is really important

I will get one the minute i turn 25, i have the money for one already saved up, but my wife says that the insurance will be too high, so i cant get it until im 25 when my premium wont be as high because of my age. But i already know which one im gonna get the minute i can, Hybusa 1300!! Fudge The World! Die Hard, Die Fast, Die Strong & Live Life to its Fullest

It's too long, and heavy, it's only good for straight lines. I would rather see you pick up a GSXR 1000, b/c it's fast, probably faster than you would ever need, plus it handles 1000 times better than the 'busa.

But if its your first bike, and you buy any of the ones listed, you'll probably be R.I.P. in no time. Get a nice starter bike, and learn to ride first. GSXR's, busa's, R1's, yzf's are all designed for EXPERIENCED riders. Get a used starter bike, and trade up next year! My .02 BTW, I have a naked streetfighter, Honda 599--very fast, but not as fast as the ones just listed and it will still do 0-60 in 3.2 and run the quarter in 11 secs.
