Snowy Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 When working out power to weight ratio's, what is the ton, is it the old 2280lbs, or is it the new metric tonne which I think is 1000k, that must be about 2200lbs. Just trying to compare with Loti, and bikes, my previous passion. Funny how on a bike you need to break the speed limit for thrills. On a Blackbird 140 feels about 70mph. In a westie, tis the other way around. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Yea I know what you mean about Bikes. Me R1 was a bit quick but just wating to catch me out. The westy is more fun and If its Hot, like this summer you can wear shorts and tee shirt. A definate no no on the bike. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 Cheers Blatman. To think I nearly bought a V-Twin bike last month, just for the sound..... The westy has them beaten hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Thats funny. I nearly bought a Yamaha Warrior for the exhaust note. The £8k pricetag kinda put me off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 9, 2003 Author Share Posted October 9, 2003 At least the Westy goes round corners, which is more than can be said for a "Warrior" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
