ive thought about that, but there are a few problems. 1. if it rains a crotch rocket is not the ideal place to be, altho a 700 hp mustang wont be the best choice, a streetable one you can at least drive carfully without getting wet. 2. you can have passengers and go fast, even your 100# girlfriend would slow down a bike by a lot, not to mention way more unsafe than being by yourself. 3. you have to wear a stupid amount of gear, or your dumb and you only wear a helmet, at least when i get out of my car i can look just as good as when im in it. 4. ive seen plenty of 10 second bikes with 12 second drivers on them. then again i guess that qualifys for cars as well. 5. light to light, a DR simple SC mustang would probebly take most bikes, takes crazy skill and alot of ***** to lauch a bike.. shall i keep going? lol plus im to lazy to get a licence for one, and if ima spend 6-12k on somthing it would be on my car not a bike anyway. but to each his own, bikes are still sexy.

didnt say there wasnt good things. Altho, the safty gear really isnt because youll make a mistake its to protect you from the other idiots, in which case full gear for me, and it may look cool, but its not really dinner ware...ive raced a few crotch rockets, but just cuz i lose doesnt bother me any, mine sounds better. and just cuz i chick wants to do you cuz she gets on the back of one, you could probebly put that same girl in a helmet and go 140 in your mustang and have the same effect, most of those girls just like the danger. and if its about vibrating, bring a vibrator and call it good lol. ive been in accidents, mostly of them not my fault and i tell you now, no one looks or feels sexy with road rash. and thats if your lucky haha. and for 2500-3000 bucks, hell you may with a little searching be able to build a drag car for that, mind you purpose built and no frills lol

people who do not ride in full gear are idiots...
hell im kicking myself because by spring time im still not going to have enough saved for some riding boots, so i will be riding in shoes for a little bit... im idiot for that, but its gonna be hot and im not walking around campus in shorts and work boots...riding boots are only like $100, so i may pick some up with my income
jacket, helmet, gloves, pants and some boots are what everyone should be riding with...hell i even got pants a size big to wear over my shorts in the summer...protection while riding and take them off when you get where youre going
also, doing triple digits on public roads is dangerous enough doing it solo...you shouldnt be doing that **** with a passenger on the bike...if you wanna risk yourself, fine...but have some awareness that other people have lives too
you sound like a typical young squid who bought a $4000 gsxr 600 and think you are the ****

Get a real bike like me and you wont have to worry about passengers 
. I agree with 99blackpony about having all the gear and if you want to impress a chick on a bike you can easily jump to 80 while she is on it and make her think your going 200 mph.

@99 lol k dad.
I hit triple digits in 4 seconds from a stop. Unless you actually own a bike there is no credit behind your words so I'm just wondering what kind you have.
I'm not fully suiting up in 100 degree weather sorry, I've been riding since I was 5 and been playing defensive driver on a bike for 5 years. Funny story, I was riding with one of my Buddy and I was going around a corner, he came up fast and I saw it in my mirror so I went wide around the curb. He came flying up and actually hit me, like bounced off the side of my bike which then forced me to go straight. Luckly there were no trees or anything so I kinda just went dirt biking for a minute. He said his throttle got stuck. I haven't rode with him in a while lol.

i actually do have a bike, why else would i talk specifically about the pants i just bought for the bike?
and it doesnt matter how long youve been riding when some 16 yr old girl in her mommys tahoe merges into the side of you or pulls out into the intersection that youre flying through at 100+
oh well, not my fault if ya wanna be an idiot and not ride safely...not my life at stake
ride bike to get girls
think triple digits with a passenger makes you a badass
gear is for losers because youre invincible and nobody could ever pull out in front of you
cheap *** 600 from craigslist is your be all end all of bikes
like i said...typical squid
oh yea, and youre not impressing anybody with a high 4 second 0-100 time...my bike is a 650lb cruiser and it can do 0-100 is 4 seconds....people dont buy 600s to brag about speed lol...great for the twisties, but definately not the fastest in straight lines
