Don't know anything about bikes but I do love the sound (as long as it's not a Harley of course) and they look amazing. Probably fun as hell to drive. Definitely going to be a big hobby of mine once I graduate.

P.S. I saw the TRD supercharger in the engine bay in pic1 OP, that was so badass. Wish the Yaris had one =(
Thanks for the compliments :) Ill throw a few more pix up for ya!

Yah, my tC is heavily upgraded - I have every TRD option available. Every factory option as well.
TRD clutch, TRD LSD, TRD supercharger, TRD short shifter, TRD Front/Rear Bars, TRD Shocks/Struts, TRD Springs, TRD Rims (18" 5 spokes), TRD exhaust, TRD intake.

There is much much more to my car than I listed (body, stereo, more performance). Lots of one-off peices too. I have some semi-rare stuff.

The bikes are addicting too... After dumping about $4k into my rc51 - I picked up the CBR, because the inlines are at such a different level than the Vtwin can be (sans the RSV-R which uses a v4 config anyway, and ducati is too propriatary).

Not that it matters, but that CBR1000rr has been shattering the liter bike category for 2 years, 2010 will be 3 years. That is... if the new BMW cant live up to the numbers. That would be the only bike I can see, out-muscle the honda in a pound vs power ratio. They are claiming 193hp (crank?).

All that being said. I would NEVER dump money into a car again for "performance". When compared to the speed bikes offer, its like a midget trying to fight a 600lb gorilla.

Anyways, more random photos! (i need to get out and take new ones of the CBR, but its cold here.. aint gonna happen til spring)





a pic of me :

boost snailz!

Not quite sure what you are basing you info on, but we all know it's the rider that makes the bike....

yup, sure is. I can ride aite, I just got my training wheels off last week.

My purchase was based upon my multiple honda's owned (as well, owning every other brand japan has produced) and liking the honda's the best. Ive owned everything from a vfr, rc51, gsxr, cbr, ninja, fzr, xbr's, 955i. Only thing Ive dont like are the zx14's and hayabusa's.

Anyways - links to promote the cbr :

I could cut and paste over 18 different reviews, but your right at the end of the day its all in the riders hands. Ive got what I need
