UncleJ Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 One day there was a guy practicing parachuting when it failed to open. He was hurtling to earth when he spots a man flying up towards him. He yelled out to the man, hey do you know anything about parachutes?!! The guy says no! Do you know anything about turbo chargers?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) ^ Do you know that you don't actually need a parachute to go skydiving? You only need a parachute to go skydiving , twice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just thinking about all this forced induction. I am not sure Carlo Abarth would have liked it. To paraphrase. "Anyone can make horse power with forced induction but it takes an artist to get horsepower out of a normally aspirated engine.

No it doesnt stupid,there both easy to do the forced version is just alot easier and less expensive and most importantly imposses less strain on the engine only dombos keep beleiving that and get left behind.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadJoe Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 2 hondas doesnt really make sense especially similar model cbr500 - cbr650. If you have 2 bikes they should be diffrent; purpuse wise or engine wise. So if you get the honda you should sell your current one. If not keep the cbr500 for the city and get an additional fun bike which would be the cbr1000 or Hyperstrada. I agree in general having two sport bikes doesn't make much sense to those not independently wealthy. Ideally in my mind a perfect combination to someone with unlimited funds would be Multistrada and a CBR600RR, but if not independently wealthy, then a Versys and a CBR650F would do nicely. But the CBR500R and the CBR650F I consider to be miles apart in terms of similarity. Your talking about 48 vs 86 HP. The 500 is a heavy trainer.

HooHaa Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 keep your cbr500 and buy a larger condo. You don't want to come home to a shoebox everyday. hear hear. 32 square meters? i built the house of my dreams in one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen for the cost of a mid-high end benz. the suzuki caribbean looks great parked out front. i would always sort out where i live before i thought about wheels. 18 years in thailand and i have seen too many multi-million baht cars in the parking lot of shoddy cheap tiny condos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are right about the fact that for many Thais face comes first so they will always try to buy the most expensive car/bike they can (with the help of the bank of course).

Lucky33 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 The Hyperstrada would be my choice, easy to get around in the city and Ducati looks and sound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
